Bryan Singer casts Jean Grey, Cyclops and Storm for X-Men: Apocalypse!

Word spread fast of the actors and actresses going in to audition for various roles in the upcoming film X-Men: Apocalypse that will be directed by Bryan Singer. Recently we have heard a lot of talk concerning the characters of Jean Grey, Scott Summers (aka Cyclops), and Ororo Munroe (aka Storm). 

It was announced late last night but the search is over and the actors have been chosen! These characters will still be young in the Apocalypse storyline (said to take place in the 80's) so a young cast had to be selected. Chosen for the roles were Sophie Turner as Jean Grey, Tye Sheridan as Cyclops, and Alexandra Shipp as Storm. Turner is known for her work on Game of Thrones while Sheridan had a great performance in Mud, and Shipp may be best known for her portrayal of Aaliyah in a biopic of the singer's life.
