They've done great work with Jean in the comics over the last 7-8 years after having her defining characteristic in the Silver Age being "the girl" and her defining characteristic since then (until 7-8 years ago) being "Is she dead or not this year?"
Sophie Turner is great casting for Jean and I hope she knocks it out of the park in this one. It could very well be the swan song for X-Men movies due to the merger as others have pointed out.
