Talking about their epic prank on James during the shoot of X-Men Dark Pheonix, James revealed, "Yeah, I was the subject of some of that! There’s a bit where my body is being controlled by Jean Grey, so to achieve that, they put me on wires, and they would pull my body around. Those two had a lot of fun with that and an iTunes version of the Macarena!"

Now, that is one fun-filled cast, indeed!

Meanwhile, in an interview with E! News, while talking about playing a strong female character in a superhero film, Sophie shared, "Growing up, I didn't really feel like...I'd seen a superhero movie with a really strong female at the helm. Now, it's so great that young girls and young boys and your daughter can grow up and watch this movie and look at it and say, 'Oh wow, what a strong, well-rounded, accurate representation of a woman.'"
