Hm. I really like Waller-Bridge (Fleabag was AMAZING), kinda don't like Turner, and hate Amazon. Overall probably a good thing!

Yeah, Turner can act, but she doesn't read as "action star." Dark Phoenix should have proven that for everyone.
Are there any movies with Turner you can recommend? I've mostly seen her in GoT and didn't like her acting there for the most part, but that might have more to do with her role than her acting.
No, I've also only seen her in GoT and XMen. She was good in the former, and not so good in the latter. To be fair, I don't think anyone was good in either of the X-Men films, but she seemed especially ill-suited for the role of Jean Grey.
How many X-Men movies do you think there are?
With Sophie Turner as Jean Grey? Two, Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix, two of the worst ones. She wasn't in First Class, and Jean was played by Famke Janssen in the first trilogy plus The Wolverine and Days of Future Past. Jean also wasn't in Origins or Logan, iirc.
$10 Million dollars to produce absolutely nothing. They couldn’t even get a script.
The writers should go on strike again.
