Sophie Turner is Jean Grey!

[Night Fury]

For the next X Men movie, apparently Turner (Sansa Stark!) has been cast as Jean Grey!

Some other people are some other people.

Whut? How does that make sense with the ending of Days of Future Past?

I know my brother will be happy someone younger is playing the part, though.

I'm guessing because Famicom Jackson doesn't feel like playing the part anymore, or she wanted too much money.

The next X-Men movie is based in the 80s, so they can't have Famke Janssen play a role 30~ years younger.

This going back and forth through time is screwing with my head. Hey, it's just like the comics.

Or that. Duh. I am not the biggest comic guy but I can't believe I forgot that.

[Night Fury]

Yeah it'll be set when they're younger and stuff.

[Colonel Angus]

I heard Picard & Gandalf won't be in this one as well.

[Ayen]

They're lucky I like the actors who play their younger incarnations or tables would be flipped. So many tables!

Kind of hard to imagine, but this might be brilliant. I wasn't a fan of Turner at first, but man some of that work toward the end of last season of GoT was truly brilliant.

[Shorty]

It's hard for me to imagine her being anything other than pouty, weeping Sansa, which quite frankly drives me up the wall.

Don't see any names that look particularly fabulous for this casting. Only really interested in the young Magneto, young Xavier storyline right now.

Do you think they're going to make out? I think they're going to make out. I hope Magneto and Professor X make out.

FassAvoy Mutant Makeout Session? Hell yeah, I'd watch that.

[Ayen]

Bryan Singer must really like Game of Thrones. The bad thing about being on that show is that the entire cast is forever typecasted as those characters by fans everywhere they appear.

I've heard some people say that Deborah Ann Woll should be Jean Grey. Thoughts?

Hopefully people won't think the film makers are inglorious bastards for taking that direction. It is what some people have always wanted to see, however.

Perhaps she could pull it off, but not based on anything she's shown in her work so far (which, to be fair, isn't necessarily her fault). She could do the flirty seductive side of Jean, maybe, but I don't think she's right for the standoffish, serious, dangerous, psychopathic aspects of Jean's character. TBF, I never would have that that Sophie Turner could pull any of that off, either, but she showed signs fairly recently that she really can act.

[Quindiana Jones]

I'm worried and excited. Excited to see her show off some chops, worried that she won't.

[Tyson]

Yet her character will still be paired with Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, that'll be strange to see haha

[Loony BoB]

I can see Sophie doing a good young Jean Grey. I have no problems with this casting - I mean, just because we know them so well in one specific role doesn't mean they shouldn't get a shot in other roles, and this is a good start for moving away from being typecast for her.

Tye Sheridan I don't know about. Same for Alexandra Shipp. Will reserve judgement as always until I see the film, actors these days often surprise me.

She's already been paired with two older people in GoT, so it'd be commonplace for her, really.

I heard Picard & Gandalf won't be in this one as well.

I wonder how much longer those two will even be alive for.

You shut your whore mouth! :stare:

Don't say such things. Don't even think them!

The hell man?!

Jumping on a bandwagon! :colbert:

[Slothy]

That should be a bankable offence Shauna. Get to work. Chop chop.

[Quindiana Jones]

Mirage.

For your crimes against the elderly...

I'm taking you...

:cool:

To the bank.

[Slothy]

Autocorrect is a fickle mistress.

[chionos]

:(

Just because something's true doesn't mean you have to say it, Mirage.

[Mirage]

hey now, i'm just perparing you all for the end of the world

you'll thank me when we get there

I have a friend who will graduate from the University where Patrick Stewart works.

He will hand her her degree.

[Quindiana Jones]

Unless he dies first, of course. :(

I'm SO jelly right now.

It's obvious what I need to do here. I must kill this friend when she finishes her studies and where her face to her graduation so that I may meet the embodiment of male sexiness in the flesh.
