Jean Grey is a fictional character featured in seven films in the X-Men film series, starting with X-Men (2000) and ending with Dark Phoenix (2019), based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name, created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. Jean was portrayed by Dutch actress Famke Janssen in five films, with "Jean" in The Wolverine (2013) being a posthumous hallucination in Logan's head and her appearance in X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) being a brief flashforward scene. For the 2016 film X-Men: Apocalypse, Jean was recast with English actress Sophie Turner, who would reprise her role in Dark Phoenix in 2019.
