One of the great pleasures of this new spate of X-Men movies is the opportunity they give us to delve deep into the backstories of some of our favourite characters.

Thanks to Famke Janssen’s turn in the original Noughties X-Men films, we know what the character of Jean Grey is like as an adult. But how did she get to that point? What are the events that made her who she is today?

In Dark Phoenix, we are going to be given a portrait of the mutant as a young woman, played by Game of Thrones’ Sophie Turner. In Turner’s hands, Grey is a superhero struggling to come to terms with her powers of telekinesis. She is both terrified and confident, angry and confused, fierce and fallible.

It’s this duality that has always made Jean Grey such a compelling comic book character, and it’s why the world is eagerly awaiting her standalone movie Dark Phoenix. This is everything we know about the film so far:
