X-Men: Dark Phoenix

The first two movies have good prologues. Patrick Stewart and Ian Mc Kellen are reasons to watch in and of themselves, as always. And it was cool at the time to be able to share something like that with the non-comic book people.

But guys Simon said this was only a new beginning for the Foxmen. :V

X2 is still one of my favorite comic book movies.

The drug abuse is not a joke. Sophie is into drugs(particularly weed and ecstasy) and seems to be a heavy drinker from I heard.

He’s talked to Kevin Feige and Disney has already said they are at least releasing any film in production. Did people forget about New Mutants?

Btw, this is currently the third most anticipated film of 2019 on IMDB.

I don't know what you've heard, but weed and drinking don't really age you. Plus, it's a movie, so they have makeup artists there, too.

I know, I’m assuming she does harder drugs. I’ve seen her without make-up and she’s also gotten really skinny in the past year or so.

Seems like you're gambling on a shitload of tabloid speculation based on circumstantial evidence to characterize her as a withered drug addict. Bump the brakes.

She is way too attractive to be into the drugs.

...or so I've heard. <_<

Why does any of that matter. Referring to this drugs topic in general.

They were referring to this picture of Sophie Turner and claiming that drug abuse was making her age poorly.

It does matter somewhat if she's ever going to reprise the role. We're just not talking about in a tactful way.

Though I guess since X-Men is getting rebooted/shoved into the MCU it really doesn't matter.

I mean couldn't it just be makeup since we're still pretending these people are playing characters in their 30s or whatever?

The characters are in their mid-late 20s since it’s only 9 years laters.

Why is no one suggesting that being part of a movie franchise and an HBO franchise is probably stressful as hell which would probably contribute to her aging?

There's also the fact that's she's not a teenager anymore. I mean, really.

What about Xavier and Magneto who look like Fassbender and Mccavoy despite being in their middle ages by now.

New still of her rocking a purple trench coat◊

She sure does have a thing on them. Had a red one in The Last Stand and a white one in the trailer.

Btw, why aren’t they showing stills of the opening of the movie that was shown at comic-con or her Phoenix form?

Not looking good going off these test screening reviews.

Take with a grain of salt, but Simon was on Fan4stic...

This is probably what necessitated the reshoots, rather than some master plan to reveal the timeline split knocked them into the MCU proper.

No way in hell would Feige put Foxmen in the MCU.

With the buyout and all, who knows? The rumors were the reshoots were supposed to retool what was supposed to be the start of a new trilogy of films into the Grand Finale for the Fox X-Men. The test screenings make me think it’s just trying to make up for a negative reaction.

Universal resets and alternate timeline crap are already an established part of the canon of the Fox X-Men, so the idea that the Phoenix, a cosmic entity can shift the mutants into the main line MCU is not an impossible one. It’s just not likely.

The Foxmen timeline is a trainwreck. Do you want Magneto, Mystique, and Xavier hogging up more of the spotlight in the MCU? All for the small hope if a Wolverine Huge Jackman appearance? After Apocalypse everyone is kinda tired if these films and the merger seems like a good reason to start fresh.

Actually I kinda figured what would happen is Phoenix hits the Cosmic Reset Button and we see some minor supporting character reading the newspaper and realizing the world she’s in is not the one she left.

Or if you want to rub salt in the wound, Mystique ends up in the new universe, and then doesn’t feel so good.

This is it for this incarnation of the X-Men out of universe. Whether this is it in-universe is another matter.

I mean it kinda depends on the actors hoping to stay on. If Fox had their way I'm sure they would keep most of the current cast and simply cross them over with the Avengers with the alternative universe explanation.

Well, that’s disappointing to hear. Hope it’s like Wonder Woman which was called a mess by early screenings or they do a second round of reshoots.

Btw, wasn’t there a screening back in October?
