Two other key heroes in the movie have also been announced. ‘Game of Thrones’ star Sophie Turner, who plays the eldest daughter of Winterfell’s Stark clan, will play the role of Jean Grey and Tye Sheridan, who appeared in ‘Mud’ and ‘Joe,’ will play the younger version of Cyclops. Cyclops was originally played by James Marsden in the first films. Sheridan is best known for his role in indie flicks like Terrance Malick’s “The Tree of Life” and “Mud,” where he appeared with Matthew McConaughey. Sheridan also stared in “Joe” with Nicolas Cage, who also portrayed a Marvel hero in two “Ghost Rider” films. Each of the new actors casted will play younger versions of characters who were once played by Famke Janssen (Grey), James Marsden (Cyclops) and Halle Berry (Storm) in the first three X-Men movies.
The movie will be in theaters on May 27, 2016.
