I think Turner was an ok choice for First Class as a younger, less confident Jean. The fact she is so unsuited to being Dark Phoenix a few years later suggests to me that Fox had no idea what they were doing when they started on First Class.

This has “X-men Last Stand” written all over this.
 
Sophie Turner is getting super attractive. Bet she is gonna stay around in Hollywood for quite some years.
 
Sophie Turner is not a bad actress. She just isnt meant to play Jean Grey.

Actually I think Jessica Chastain can pull of a Jean Grey, but for some reason they want all the X-men to be super young. So dumb.

Same with JLaw. She is not a bad actress, she just isnt a superhero/villianess kind of actress.
 
Or maybe the article you just posted has it wrong.
Could be. Could also be a red herring. But the fact that EW is the one reporting it - not to mention they have the scoop over the first official images, story details and behind-the-scenes interview - makes it unlikely.

Trivia: Jessica Chastain posted on Instagram last September where she said, "Hey folks, want a scoop? I'm not playing Lilandra...." She deleted that comment afterwards.

Was there ever a Skrull Queen in the comics? It is really stupid to have a beautiful woman like Jessica Chastain transform into a green skinned ogre looking skrull. They are wasting her. The studio is better off with her playing Lilandra.

Aside from a few things they got it right, Fox gonna Fox I guess.
 
Gonna be weird when they do eventually sell to Disney and they reboot the series in 2019.

DL - do you have an updated fantasy casting if Disney were to acquire the property??

Yes, I do have something in mind. But my plate is a bit full now as I am currently working on my annual 2018 Movie Guide, Most Anticipated Films of 2018, article about the DCEU, my website and working on my new business. So the X-Men casting with scripts will have to wait after I'm done with it.

That would be interesting to think about...I'd like to hear DL's take as well.
For Jean Grey, I think a young Anne Hathaway would have been good. A person who is a telepath should have a special way with people. Turner doesn't. Jean was the heart of the team, and Turner is not going to be able to rally a team around her--or get an audience invested enough in her to care. FOX doesn't get these characters at all.
I just watched Valerian and the City of a thousand planets, I think the main actor guy from there would be a good Cyclops.
 
I doubt Chastain will be a Skrull.
Maybe one of those sci-fi scenarios where people can't comprehend what she really looks like?
Or a regular shapeshifter. Imma think about who it could be.


Did nobody else notice Nightcrawler in the images?

edit: duh, @Dragonlordxxxxx mentions it in the first sentence...
