X-Men: Dark Phoenix

X - Men : Dark Phoenixwriter - director Simon Kinberg promises that the moving-picture show will less operatic and more grounded liken to pastX - Menmovies , which might be strange considering that the celluloid adapts Chris Claremont’sThe Dark Phoenix Saga .

The cast and crew ofX - Men : Dark Phoenixseem pretty confident of the celluloid . Sophie Turner , who play Jean Grey , has gone so far as to indicate the movie will"revolutionize " the superhero genre , which her co - star , Tye Sheridan ( aka Cyclops ) , agrees with , though he suggested thatDark Phoenixis more of a dramathan a superhero film .

The film may be grounded in an aroused sense , but it will still see the ecstasy - Men whole step on to the cosmic level . " It ’s much more fast to the original comedian than X - Men 3 , which told the Dark Phoenix fib , " Kinberg mention . " It ’s a flick that involve extraterrestrial persona , which is not something that we ’ve done in the X - Men franchise before , and is something that is a vast part of the Dark Phoenix saga in the comics . "

While fan of the comic strip will be delighted to hear this assessment , it ’s not quite clean-cut howDark Phoenixworks in relation to the original comic book secret plan . When Jessica Chastain signed up , it was initially believe she was playing the part of the Shi’ar Empress Lilandra , which would make good sense since the Shi’ar are a primal part of theDark Phoenix Saga . But , Chastain herself debunked that rumoron social medium , and her character ’s identity remain a mystery . Meanwhile , set photos have strongly suggest that the shapeshifting alien slipstream know asthe Skrullsare require in the movie . They played no role at all in theDark Phoenix Saga , so it ’s hard to see how Kinberg can claim this plot is " much more loyal to the original comic . "

Ironically enough , for all comic book fan are used to envisioning the Phoenix as a cosmic force play , X - Men : The Last Standwas closer to the original funny book outpouring . Chris Claremont envisioned the Phoenix as a " schizoid personality . " days later , Marvel decided to give away that the Phoenix Force was a disjoined entity , a retcon designed to let them bring Jean Grey back from the stagnant . That retcon has firmly established itself in the minds of comic book fans , and Kinberg is likely hint that his film , theX - Men : Dark Phoenix , will honor it .
