X-Men: Dark Phoenix
It turns out thatX - man : Dark Phoenix ’s original third bit culmination was reshot . After almost twenty twelvemonth and several picture ( include , spinoffs centered on Deadpool and Wolverine ) , Fox ’s solo streamlet on theX - Menfilms is follow to an oddment . The prop is expected to be largelyrebooted for the Marvel Cinematic Universein a few years , now that Disney has finalise its leverage of Fox ’s assets . This will be the second time the X - hands have been rebooted on the cock-a-hoop concealment , after 2011’sX - gentleman’s gentleman : First Classintroduced ( much ) new iteration of the graphic symbol from the 2000sX - Mentrilogy .
ab initio , it appeared that Fox andDark Phoenixwriter - managing director Simon Kinberg were planning to use the movie to sound off - off another trilogy , this time focusing on the 10 - Men trainee introduced in 2016’sX - homo : Apocalypse(like Sophie Turner ’s Jean Grey ) . That ’s no longer the case though , asDark Phoenixis now being market as the culmination of the last eight long time of storytelling in theX - Menfilms . For their part , the movie ’s producers haveplayed down the impingement of the Disney - Fox dealon the serial publication ' ending .

Nevertheless , whenDark Phoenixwent into reshootslast class , there was a peck of conjecture that they were change the film to serve as an end to theFirst Classmovies , rather than a continuation . Whether that ’s true or not , it ’s come to illumine that the movie ’s original third bit - specifically , the climax - was , in fact , heavily revised . accord toEW , Dark Phoenix ’s original third act climax was re - filmed , changing the setting from out space to a struggle aboard a military train ( a chronological succession that ’s already been teased intheDark Phoenixtrailers ) .
It ’s worth mention that Kinberg has alluded to this in the past , having previously said thatDark Phoenix ’s reshootswere mostly concentre on the third act’s"physical plate and the military action " , as well as the scenes that lead up to the original confrontation in outer space . That ’s to say , it sounds like the third act reshoots here were far less square than those carried out on 2018’sThe Predator , in which Shane Black re - film the third act entirely . The Predator ’s theatrical cutting off was widely criticized for being a messy patchwork of reshoot footage and fabric leftover from earlier versions , so hopefully that wo n’t end up being the case withDark Phoenixtoo .
Whichever way things judder out , Dark Phoenixis understandably aiming to ply a sensation of stop to theFirst Classstoryline and its characters , include the young mutants introduced inApocalypse . The filmdoesn’t even admit a post - credit scenesetting up the next chapter , which is a modification from bothApocalypseand its immediate predecessor , Days of Future Past . Disney and Marvel Studios are function to reboot the X - Men series either room ( well , except for Deadpool ) , but it would still be nice ifDark Phoenixended Fox ’s run with a hit , rather than a fizzle .
