While it’s full-speed ahead on a bunch of “X-Men” universe TV shows, there’s been little word on the next “X-Men” movie – rumoured to be titled “X-Men : Supernova” – for a while.
Sophie Turner (“Game of Thrones”), who plays young Jean Grey in the recent crop of “X-Men” flicks, was at the BAFTAS this week and offered HeyUGuys an update on where it stands. Seems it’s further along than we thought!
“We’re about to start shooting the next X-Men, we’ve just finished shooting Season 7 of [Game of] Thrones, and I’ve got a couple of movies to do before X-Men starts. And then we go on to Season 8.”
Turner’s Jean Grey is rumoured to be a key component of the new “X-Men” movie, with the mutant superheroine said to be transforming into her wicked comic alter-ego Dark Phoenix. The ‘Dark Phonix’ story was previously adapted for Brett Ratner’s “X-Men : The Last Stand” but considering audiences greeted that film with as many boos as hisses, no surprise that the studio has asked for a do-over.
Check out the video interview with Turner below.
