Younger versions of several X-Men characters have appeared onscreen since

But has the woman who originally brought Jean to life had a chance to connect with the person now portraying her? We asked Famke Janssen that when she stopped by

Radio (SiriusXM, channel 105). “She emailed me before she started filming wanting some pointers,” says Janssen of Turner. “And I said, ‘You don’t need any. You’re perfect. You’re great.’ So I can’t wait to see the movie and what she’s done with it.”

But does Janssen think it will be weird watching someone play a younger version of her character? While she did not seem too concerned about that, the actress did point out a big difference in the way male and female mutants have been treated when it comes to past and future versions.

“I’m actually really excited about it,” she says of watching a young Jean Grey. “And its not the first time obviously that it’s happened. In the

series, they’ve been doing this for years. Although women, it’s interesting because they’re replaced, and the older versions – or more mature, whatever the politically correct version of that is – are never to be seen again. Whereas the men are allowed to be both ages. Sexism. I think that I should be back along with my younger version and the way that we’ve seen it with Magneto and Professor X.”
