X-MEN: APOCALYPSE - Bryan Singer Teaches 'Jean Grey' Archery & Shakes Up Some Mutants

Will Sophie Turner's Jean Grey be utilizing a bow and arrow in X-Men: Apocalypse? One of Bryan Singer's latest Instagram posts from the set of the movie certainly suggests as much, while the other gives us a look at a "stop motion base" in action. More past the jump...

It looks like Sophie Turner's Jean Grey won't only have her telepathic mutant powers to get her out of a tight spot in X-Men: Apocalypse, as director Bryan Singer appears to be demonstrating his archery skills to the young actress in the vid below. Of course, they could just be having a bit of fun between takes, but if there's a bow and arrow on set you can bet someone will be firing it off in the movie.

The second video features a motion base contraption designed to shake things up a bit. We don't know who's inside obviously, but there are quite a few mutant characters that could cause a room to do its best San Andreas impersonation.

Is this The Hunger Games? I thought this movie was X-Men?

CherryBomb - 6/17/2015, 2:11 PM

Awesome! Happy with everything I've seen so far.

Hope we get something like the telepathic astral battle scene that was intended for First Class, inception style.

Mercwitham0uth - 6/17/2015, 2:12 PM

FoX-Men: CrApocalypse confirmed shit.

CherryBomb - 6/17/2015, 2:12 PM

It's a school, some schools teach archery.
But I know people will find something to complain about.

jerryblake - 6/17/2015, 2:12 PM

that's my Hawkeye

LeonStGiovanni - 6/17/2015, 2:12 PM

The caption speaks for itself. LOL.

Browntable - 6/17/2015, 2:12 PM

@CherryBomb What are battle are u mentioning?

sKeemAn - 6/17/2015, 2:13 PM

hmmm Jean Grey doing Archery. I'm ok with this as long as they dont make it like thats her weapon of choice.

DrKinsolving - 6/17/2015, 2:14 PM

Hunger Games Crossover Confirmed

Browntable - 6/17/2015, 2:19 PM

It's funny because Singer is actually holding the bow correctly compared to Jennifer Lawrence.

blackandyellow - 6/17/2015, 2:19 PM

Everyone that uses a bow and arrow is from Hunger Games.

Robin Hood = Hunger Games
Green Arrow = Hunger Games
Rambo = Hunger Games
Legolas = Hunger Games

jerryblake - 6/17/2015, 2:19 PM

Sophie look sad because Bryan took her bow and started a photo session in the middle of the scene

slickrickdesigns - 6/17/2015, 2:23 PM

Robin Hood Men in Tights = Hunger Games
Hawk Eye = Hunger Games
Prince of Persia = Hunger Games
Girl From Brave = Hunger Games

slickrickdesigns - 6/17/2015, 2:24 PM

So we aren't aloud to discuss the Singer Finger buttonhole Ringer?

DrKinsolving - 6/17/2015, 2:25 PM

This guy is probably holding the Bow wrong too, but he ain't worrying bout' nothin'

idiotic CBM USER Mentality:

DrKinsolving - 6/17/2015, 2:35 PM

@RorMachine

Remember this? Maybe their connected

sKeemAn - 6/17/2015, 2:36 PM

Singer directing "Hawkeye" solo move confirmed.

jerryblake - 6/17/2015, 2:36 PM

wait ... Sophie is suddenly started to smile once Singer actually shoot somebody ...
Wonder who ? Guess we won't see Lauren Shuler Donner anytime soon ;)

MrJillyMcBeam - 6/17/2015, 2:41 PM

You haters can choke on my nuts.

LEOSTRATOR - 6/17/2015, 2:42 PM

Hunger games ruins what is the true badassery of archery. You guys need a dose of WAR OF ARROWS!

DrKinsolving - 6/17/2015, 2:44 PM

I still haven't watched Hunger Games

smell - 6/17/2015, 2:46 PM

Wonder if she'll have a yondu moment, hopefully with more arrows

smgmayhem - 6/17/2015, 2:46 PM

Has anyone considered that this may be a training sequence in the movie? Like maybe this is a scene where Charles is trying to get Jean to strengthen her powers by making her stop the arrow in mid air before it hits its intended target.

smgmayhem - 6/17/2015, 2:48 PM

Or even make her direct where the arrow will go with her mind

jerryblake - 6/17/2015, 2:49 PM

@DrKinsolving
i only watched part 2 of HG. I was disappointed because once the movie really started to get interesting it ... ended. I didn't pick up HG part 3 after that.

SauronsBANE - 6/17/2015, 2:49 PM

@DrKinsolving I was thinking the same thing. It's definitely gotta be connected to that other scene somehow.
