Sophie Turner Reveals X-MEN: APOCALYPSE Easter Egg
Actress Sophie Turner, who is playing a young Jean Grey in Bryan Singer's upcoming mutant extravaganza X-Men: Apocalypse, has revealed one of the film's Easter Eggs in a new photo:
Heat Vision expertly points out that the album cover seen in the pic is a callback to 1983's Dazzler No. 29 by artist Bill Sienkiewicz and designer Eliot R. Brown:
And that reference in her caption to "pre-1989" is a Taylor Swift shout-out, lending more fuel to the fires of rumors that the pop star will be making a cameo as the pop star mutant Dazzler in the movie. Swift was seen photographed with some of the film's actors during production, but producer Simon Kinberg claimed it was simply because she did a concert nearby; if Swift ends up showing up in costume in the movie, we'll know that was total B.S. If not, this album cover shout-out is still a cool little Easter Egg for Dazzler fans out there, and maybe the character will pop up in another sequel.
