In a late interview withCinema Blend ’s ReelBlend podcast , Sheridan recollect whatDark Phoenix ’s original ending was which they apparently shot"two or three times . “Admitting that it ’s unmanageable to commend all the detail of that initial cutting because it ’s been quite a while since it was filmed , the actor provide a nice picture of how it was supposed to pan out - enough for fans to compare and contrast with what go down in the film ’s theatrical undercut .
It ’s really hard for me to remember what the conclusion of this moving picture is . [ express joy ] primitively , it was scripted that Charles and Scott go to the U.N. because – man , I ’m whole locomote to mess up this up – they go to the U.N. because they ’re decease to seek to assure the President that , ‘ Hey , we ’re under flack by aliens and , they ’ve now captured Jean Grey . ’ Or , you eff , whatever it is that we ’re going to distinguish him .
And then Jean comes down in the front of the U.N. , and causes … there is this Brobdingnagian struggle between the guards at the U.N. and Jean Grey , and all the guards turn out to be Skrulls . And then Jean and Scott are – Scott is fighting Skrulls in the fountain . He gets drop into the fountain in front of the U.N. And then Jean comes down and basically fights all of the Skrulls off , and then blast back off into place . [ She ] basically enjoin cheerio to Scott and Charles . And then it ’s all over , I reckon .
Feeding off of McAvoy ’s reveal that they had to reshootDark Phoenix ’s endingbecause it was too similar to the conclusion of a recent superhero flick , Kinberg discover thatit was give-up the ghost to be likeCaptain America : Civil Warwhere the X - Men will be split into two like the Avengers in that Russo Brothers project . Sheridan , however , suggests a unlike reason - they take to reworkDark Phoenix ’s third act because"for the X - serviceman , you kind of want to see them unite together at the remnant . “It was n’t technically because it had the same resultant asCivil War , but more of they did n’t want that peculiar narrative death .
It ’s indecipherable ifDark Phoenixoriginally ended exactly how Sheridan recalled , or if there was a planned aftermath scene that would have a clear parallel to howCivil Warwrapped up . In any case , according to what he said , it does n’t seem like it ’s too like to what the MCU moving picture did , especially since it had different motivations and key players . One would even argue that for long time , the variation had been caught in a flimsy version ofCivil Warhaving to distribute with Charles and Magneto ’s ideological conflict . Would multitude be more receptive of the flick if it had its original ending ? There ’s no warrantee of that . Nevertheless , viewer would be interested in seeing it , possibly in the movie ’s place television sack .
