Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner is out and about promitng her new film Barely Lethal and she took a moment to answer a few questions about her upcoming role as 'Jean Grey' in X-Men: Apocalypse.

"Creatively, I mean, just like feasting my eyes upon that script was insane," Turner told Spinoff Online when asked what got her creatively excited for her X-Men role. "And I mean, I just think the fact that it’s such an iconic character and so well loved in the comics and stuff that it’s very exciting to be able to take it on. Famke Janssen’s portrayed Jean so well, so beautifully, and it’s nice to kind of – although I’m “young her,” it’s nice to have my own take on it as well and interpret this character, this action superhero the way that I kind of want to. Oh, my God. It’s so exciting!"

Some actors try to avoid researching past performances as to not let it influence their own performance, but Sophie isn't shying away from it. "I’ve done a bit of research, yeah," Turner admitted. "I mean, every “X Men” movie that’s ever been released, yeah and, like TV “X Men” stuff, I’ve seen it all, yeah."
