What other actresses could have played Jean?


I liked Famke as Jean,but imo she was a little old for the role(in the comics jean was in her teens and then 20s). What actresses in their 20s could have played Jean at the time? Maybe Alicia Witt,Jennifer Garner,Milla Jovovich,Kate Beckinsale or Jamie Luner?

Amy Adams could have maybe worked as a much younger version of the character, she can play most roles well, but probably wouldn't have had as much presence as Famke did unless the role was very expanded.

It's an interesting question, but I actually really, really liked Famke as Jean. I think she did an amazing job of the role.

I don't mind that they made her a little older. She rocks!

Sorry but I don't agree. Famke was perfect in my opinion

Not sure has this already been stated, but Kate Winslet would have been great.

Uma Thurman. She even wore a similar black spandex outfit in The Avengers (1998).
