Sophie Turner is on fire.

First, her "Game of Thrones" character Sansa Stark turned from damsel to dissident in the show's recent events. She and half-brother Jon Snow are rallying the houses of the North to take back Winterfell.

Now, the 20-year-old actress takes on another iconic role, that of Jean Grey in "X-Men: Apocalypse." As Grey, she'll be learning to live with and hone her telepathic abilities.

Let's take a look back at Turner's meteoric rise to fame.

Sophie Turner started going to drama class at age three, which she says was "so [my mother] could have a cup of coffee for an hour."
