It looks like Simon Kinberg’s X-Men: Dark Phoenix has added a new face to its cast, and The Originals star Summer Fontana has nabbed herself the lucrative role of playing a young Jean Grey.
With Janssen seemingly done with playing Jean Grey, it looks like it is up to Turner and Fontana to carry the flaming Phoenix torch.
The director had already cited his interest in finding a flashback actress of Jean Grey, and it looks like 8-year-old Fontana is that lucky girl.
Apocalypse already teased dark times ahead for Jean, while the title of Dark Phoenix seemingly confirms this.
