Sophie Turner Talks About 'Game of Thrones’ Season 5 And Also Her Big Screen Role In ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’

Known for her role as Sansa Stark in HBO’s epic fantasy series “Game of Thrones,” Sophie Turner is scheduled to reprise her role in the show’s Season 5 with an “amazing storyline.” After playing the timid Sansa for the past four seasons, Turner is now venturing to big screen as she takes the role of the young Jean Grey in the upcoming “X-Men: Apocalypse.”

During her recent red carpet appearance at the Entertainment Weekly pre-SAG Awards party at the Chateau Marmont on Saturday, Jan. 24, Turner revealed a few details about the highly anticipated “Game of Thrones” Season 5. She told Access Hollywood that her on-screen sister Arya Stark, played by Maisie Williams, “has an incredible storyline” and so has Sansa. There will be a lot of hard things that are going to "hit home" for both of them.

With more blood and more deaths, Sansa is going to amp up her game for dark things coming her way. The 18-year-old actress described one of her scenes in GOT Season 5 as “super, super traumatic” and said she loves doing it. She also admitted that doing those kind of scenes is what feeds her and reason why she started doing a lot of “horrible stuff.”

Meanwhile, Turner landed one of the most coveted roles in the movies today. She will play Jean Grey in Bryan Singer’s version of “X-Men.” The famed role was portrayed by “Taken” star Famke Janssen where she play the red-headed mutant in the “X-Men” franchise. She was last seen making a small cameo at the end of “X-men: Days Of Future Past.”

"I was on my way to an audition and I was getting out of the car," Turner is quoted as saying by the website. “"She was like, 'Check your Twitter!' So then, I checked it and… I was just getting like, 'Congratulations Jean Grey.’" The actress said she got so emotional that she started crying. HBO’s “Game of Thrones” is set to hit the small screen on April 12. “X-Men: Apocalypse” is scheduled to premiere in theatres on May 27, 2016.
