X-Men: Apocalypse will see a whole host of new actors take over some of the franchises most popular characters. Tye Sheridan will replace James Marsden as Cyclops, Alexandra Shipp takes over Storm from Halle Berry, Kodi Smit-McPhee is a younger incarnation of Alan Cumming’s Nightcrawler, and Sophie Turner replaces Famke Janssen as Jean Grey. Talking about her version of the character, the Game Of Thrones star admitted that she has a very different relationship with James McAvoy's Charles Xavier than Famke Janssen’s version had with Patrick Stewart's.

In fact, while talking to Digital Spy about her portrayal of Jean Grey, Sophie Turner even insisted that she is like a surrogate daughter to James McAvoy’s Charles Xavier.

They have this unspoken bond because he's telepathic as well, he's gone through the same things. He's very powerful and he sees that growing in her. He wants to protect her and help her control her powers, but also help her access the best of her ability. They have a really sweet relationship.

It's no surprise that Charles Xavier is so protective of Sophie Turner's younger version of the mutant. Not only does the world’s most powerful telepath/founder of Xavier’s School For Gifted Youngsters recognise that Jean Grey is one of his most prized students, but the fact that she is terrified of her telepathic and telekinetic powers means that Charles is extra possessive and vigilant towards her.

However, despite the care and attention that Charles Xavier shows to Jean Grey, Sophie Turner also made sure to insist that their dynamic doesn’t feature any “sexual” elements, as she added that Xavier is particularly interested in assisting all of “young, vulnerable girls who feel alienated and uncomfortable in their skin.” Much like he was with Mystique

We got to see just how protective Charles Xavier is over Jean Grey in the trailer for X-Men: Apocalypse. In fact, the first footage suggests that the pair’s relationship will be a key component throughout the blockbuster, as Jean Grey’s visions of the world ending started it off, before she then recalled it to a dismissive Xavier.

This May's "X-Men: Apocalypse" will be Bryan Singer's fourth time behind the camera for an X-movie. He is acknowledged that he could be "directing these movies 'til he's dead" and that he's reluctant to move on. "I love these characters," said Singer. "I want to be the guy to pick young Storm, and Jean, and I want to be the guy to pick who Apocalypse is. And to take Magneto into this different place in [his] life, and to take Raven into this different place in her life. And I want to be the guy to take Xavier's hair off! That's me! I don't want anyone else to do that."

So far, no future X-Men film has been announced to follow "Apocalypse." "Deadpool" opens on February 12 and "Gambit," starring Channing Tatum, is expected to begin filming shortly. The first draft of "New Mutants" has been completed and "Wolverine 3" -- Hugh Jackman's last outing as the popular mutant -- is expected to be in theaters in 2017.
