Dark Phoenixdirector Simon Kinberg bring out he remember there ’s one otherX - Menmovie plotline that should be redone . Kinberg , of line , is no stranger to redoingX - Menstories . The writer - director previously penned the hand forX - Men : The Last Stand , which feature theDark Phoenixstory as a subplot rather than the master focus   - a move that Kinberg later said he regret . Dark Phoenix , which is Kinberg ’s point debut , is his chance to redress that .

In an undivided consultation with Screen Rant , the managing director tell he ’d wish to see the Weapon X storyline redone in some way . Kinberg said :

I think the other storylines in the mainline X - Men movies were told well . I think , in condition of other ten - Men films or the spin - offs , maybe the Weapon X story could be tell again . Jim Mangold did such an extraordinary job with Logan and I have a go at it it . I do n’t know how you would do it to like go backward , I do n’t think you could do it with Hugh , but I do think that there ’s something in the Weapon X fib that would be cool to see .

For those in need of a recap , the Weapon X story spark focused on how Logan became Wolverine after he was kidnap by the shady , titular government agency and subjected him to the adamantium bonding mental process - although thefull history of Weapon Xgoes much deeper . Weapon X has of course already featured inX - Menspinoffs includingDeadpool , LoganandX - Men Origins : Wolverine , although the less said about the latter the better . arm X also feature in mainline movies includingX - serviceman : Apocalypse , but a movie with more of a focus on the politics bureau could be interesting .

As Kinberg point out , one major vault in any arm disco biscuit story that might feature in a future film is the fact that Wolverine actor Hugh Jackman hang up his adamantium claw after filmingLogan . Given that Weapon X is so in and of itself linked with the case of Wolverine , that present a few problem , but that does n’t mean a Weapon X movie could n’t work without him . There are plenitude of potentialX - Menprojects at Marvel Studios   that could have a Weapon Adam account and there ’s always the   likelihood that the character ofWolverine will be recast for the MCU , which could leave the room access wide open for a motion picture that explores Wolverine and artillery X more closely .

The existent dubiousness is , if the Weapon X story is told again then who is the humans or char for the chore ?   Perhaps theDark Phoenixdirector is make himself .
