Lily Jane Collins (born 18 March 1989) is a British and American actress and model. Born in Guildford, Surrey and raised in Los Angeles, Collins began performing on screen at the age of two in the BBC sitcom Growing Pains. In the late 2000s, Collins began acting and modelling more regularly, and she had a career breakthrough with her performance in the sports-drama film The Blind Side, which was the third highest-grossing film of 2009. She went on to appear in leading roles across feature films such as the sci-fi action-horror Priest (2011), the psychological action-thriller Abduction (2011), the fantasy Mirror Mirror (2012), the urban fantasy The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (2013), and the independent romantic comedies Stuck in Love (2012), The English Teacher (2013), and Love, Rosie (2014). Collins was critically acclaimed for her roles as Marla Mabrey in the comedy Rules Don't Apply (2016), which earned her a nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, and for her portrayal of a young adult with anorexia in the controversial Netflix drama To the Bone (2017). She has also achieved recognition for her work in biographical films: she starred as Liz Kendall in the Netflix drama Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile (2019), as J.R.R. Tolkien's wife Edith in Tolkien (2019), and as Rita Alexander in Mank (2020), the latter of which was a critical success, earning 10 Academy Award nominations. Collins played Fantine in the BBC miniseries adaptation of Les Misérables (2018–2019), and, since 2020, she has portrayed Emily Cooper in the Netflix series Emily in Paris. For the latter, she received a nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Television Series Musical or Comedy. She made her writing debut with Unfiltered: No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me (2017) in which she discussed her struggles with mental health, including an eating disorder she suffered as a teenager.

Following mini series (Thunderbird, Colossus) and stingers (Cyclops' escape) that allude to a problem with the original team, the plot here sees the culmination of Xavier's assembling of the second X-Men team to rescue the originals from Krakoa. <br> <br>At some point it will be revealed that another villain is manipulating Krakoa, but not before the team launch Krakoa into space. <br> <br>The plot will also see an unexpected character death (anyone but Thunderbird for the sake of mystery), which will present an opportunity to recreate the Annie Richardson death whereby Jean is in their head at the time and inadvertently calls out to the Phoenix Force (tying into Starjammers 2 later) <br> <br>An ongoing subplot throughout Phases 7-9 of the X-films/shows involves Val Cooper trying to recruit mutants for a Government-sponsored Mutant team. She is declined by everyone present in the X-Men here, however a mid-credits stinger would see her visit the Summers home and recruit Alex. <br> <br>And the end-credits stinger would see a cameo of Magneto as he takes over a space station in Earth's orbit and directs it towards the drifting Krakoa (set up for Asteroid M).
