X-Men: Dark Phoenix
Sophie Turner and Jessica Chastain shared that theDark Phoenixmovie script was always being rewritten on set . This does n’t come as a huge surprisal , as the film has been under examination for a trivial while now , specially after Disney ’s acquisition of Fox assets earlier this class . But many fan had already begun to lose religious belief in theX - Men’sfinal outing weeks before it was even anticipate to hit dramaturgy , and particularly after news circulated last month that theentire ending had to be reshot . It was all looking a bit bleak for Jean Grey ’s epic account and unfortunately , asDark Phoenixearly reviewsbegin to pelt in , thing are n’t looking any better for the franchise ’s impassioned finis .
Despite other criticisms , Dark Phoenix’sdirector , Simon Kinberg , had eminent hopes for the film . The managing director had originally written the hand forX - Men : The Last Stand , which have theDark Phoenixstoryline as a subplot , so he was intimate with Jean Grey ’s darling saga . sour Phoenix’splot direct bits and pieces from theDark Phoenix Sagacomic book serial publication , but celebrate most of its focus on Jean and the side effect of the X - mankind . Because of this , major storylines from the comic , such asLilandra and the Hellfire Club , were n’t included in the film .

This is n’t the first clock time that theX - Menfranchise has dealt with yield struggle . New Mutantsis the pure example of a film that ’s beenstuck in product limbofor years now , but evenX - man : ApocalypseandX - Men : solar day of Future Pasthad their own job with writing that messed with the dealership ’s timeline .

Looking on the bright side , this collaboration onDark Phoenix’sscript could turn out to be good for the film ’s outcome . Having Jean Grey herself be an subservient part in writing her own emotional arc could be a positive elbow room to turn around an otherwise cluttered taradiddle .
