dc20willsave Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Simon Kinberg is directing. Pretty much everyone is returning including Jennifer Lawrence, James McAvoy, and Michael Fassbender. Jessica Chastain is in talks to play Lilandra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Maybe I'll be thrown for a loop, but I can't imagine Kinberg making a good movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 It's been pushed back to 2019. The rumor is that Jessica Chastain is playing Spoiler Miss Sinister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted September 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 In DARK PHOENIX, the X-MEN face their most formidable and powerful foe: one of their own, Jean Grey. During a rescue mission in space, Jean is nearly killed when she is hit by a mysterious cosmic force. Once she returns home, this force not only makes her infinitely more powerful, but far more unstable. Wrestling with this entity inside her, Jean unleashes her powers in ways she can neither comprehend nor contain. With Jean spiraling out of control, and hurting the ones she loves most, she begins to unravel the very fabric that holds the X-Men together. Now, with this family falling apart, they must find a way to unite -- not only to save Jean's soul, but to save our very planet from aliens who wish to weaponize this force and rule the galaxy. I like that they're going all out there with the crazy space stuff for this one. If this is going to be the last hurrah before the inevitable reboot, might as well go crazy.

S-T Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Could Dark Phoenix be the conduit for introducing the X-Men into the MCU? She is so powerful that she crosses the barrier between alternate universes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted September 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 The release date has been pushed back to June 7th which is interesting since it might be out after the Disney/Fox merger is finalized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donomark Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 Gonna be the lone voice on this and say that this trailer has me interested. There's an intensity to the scenes and acting, and between how MacAvoy's Xavier looks and the general look of the X-Men, it looks like an X-Men film. I'm probably setting myself up for disappointment, and they're for sure gutting the heart of the Dark Phoenix story, but I'm excited to see this.

S-T Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 Are they intentionally calling back to the scene in X3 when they confronted Jean in a suburban neighborhood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 Yup. Even though we're three timelines removed at this point, it seems the filmmakers are trying to retain some constants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they would interpret the Phoenix as a cosmic being possessing Jean, instead of her just being immensely powerful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 From what I understand, the trailers for Dark Phoenix are underplaying the cosmic / alien portion of this movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donomark Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Sophie Turner looks way cooler as Dark Phoenix than Famke Janssen did, even though I thought for the first two X-films Janessen was perfectly cast as Jean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Yeah, it looks great. I still think the worst thing to happen to this round of X-films is the casting of Jennifer Lawrence. Not because she's bad, but because she became the world's biggest movie star after First Class forcing her into a bigger role going forward.

And I still haven't seen Apocalypse and from all accounts it's lame, but I am unashamedly hyped for this movie. It looks like an X-Men film, and the majority of the franchise are just character tangents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
