X-Men: Dark Phoenix
Evan Peters comparesX - Men : The Dark Phoenix ’s tone to its predecessor , say that while it can be light likeX - Men : First Class , it ’s also darker thanX - world : Apocalypse . Marking the directorial debut of longtimeX - Menfilms producer Simon Kinberg , the film will be the fourth instalment from the rebooted franchise timeline .
Not much is known regarding specific narrative contingent of the movie , but it ’s tipped to adapt the quintessential 10 - Men comic Scripture taradiddle of the same name from author Chris Claremont , which place Sophie Turner ’s Jean Grey under the spotlight as she becomes the Dark Phoenix . James McAvoy as Professor X , Michael Fassbender as Magneto and Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique are set to reprise their various roles , possibly for the last time as they pass the franchise to their younger Centennial State - headliner such as Tye Sheridan ( Cyclops ) , Alexandra Shipp ( violent storm ) , Turner and Peters among others .
Sitting down withColliderprimarily to promote his newest project , American Animals , Peters was asked about what fans can expect fromDark Phoenix . Obviously , the lead could n’t talk about anything patch - related about the film but he teased of the tone of the nextX - Menfilm and how it compares to other installing from the franchise .
I think it ’s the classical X - man : First Class tone , where there ’s a fleck of humor thrown in there , but it ’s much darker than the previous one , Apocalypse . Apocalypse was the ‘ fourscore , so there was a plenty of elbow room for goofy poppycock in there . This one is a much more serious film about the internal struggle of Phoenix and Jean , so it ’s a dramatic motion-picture show . There ’s nothing very comedic about it , other than the few import that are in there . I think it ’s gon na be a powerful one . It ’s Dark Phoenix . I suppose it ’s gon na be dark than we ’re used to . It ’s gon na be a change , but it ’s gon na be fun for everybody .
There is a circumstances riding on the shoulder ofX - Men : The Dark Phoenix ’s shoulders . Not only could it be the final X - Men film other the creative legal power of Fox considering thecompany ’s in - cognitive operation deal with Disney , it ’s also the 2d time thatThe Dark Phoenix Sagais being adapted to the big screen . And given that they ’ve botched it once in 2006’sX - Men : The Last Stand , Kinberg and his squad would have to make trusted that this new take on the comic ledger story will at least make up for their old failed attempt .
