Since then, the franchise has not only continued its run of 20th century stories with the 1983-set X-Men: Apocalypse, but also went as far as to recast Jean Grey.
Going forward, the role will be played by Game of Thrones actress Sophie Turner, who will reprise the part in 2018’s X-Men: Dark Phoenix.
Famke Janssen was one of the stars of the entire original X-Men trilogy, and had a very small part in The Wolverine, but it looks like her swan song will be 2014’s X-Men: Days of Future Past — where she cameoed at the end playing an alive-and-well Jean Grey living in the future of the newly-created timeline.
