According to Cinema Blend, the 19-year old English actress revealed that her Jean Grey and James McAvoy's Charles Xavier a.k.a. Professor X will have a different relationship compared to Famke Jansen and Patrick Stewart's characters.

She said, "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."

According to Digital Spy, Turner hinted that the new film will feature more of young Jean Grey's struggle with her powerful abilities as coping with being a special teenager. She said that this leads her to being vulnerable and alienated from the group at times. She added, "My Jean is definitely struggling with her powers, and coming to terms with just how powerful she can be... Being a mutant ain't easy."
