X-Men Ready to Go Cosmic with Dark Phoenix

No Comments

If it doesn't work the first time, try again, right? This seems to be the case with The Dark Phoenix Saga, a storyline that was adapted (butchered) in Brett Ratner's X-Men: Last Stand. The movie unnecessarily killed main characters and included irrelevant subplots. Aside from that (and the credits scene), Last Stand also failed to usher the X-Men movie universe into the cosmos.

Screen Rant asked producer Hutch Parker about this issue in relation to Dark Phoenix, which we glimpsed in X-Men: Apocalypse. In response, he mentioned a bold new approach, citing the Guardians of the Galaxy.

With a better script, Famke would have made a great Dark Phoenix. (Comic Vine)

Could this mean that the X-Men will finally venture into space? If so, this could remove the bad taste left behind by The Last Stand.

That is certainly a possibility. That is certainly a possibility. Yes.

We could see it happening. X-Men: Apocalypse didn't just introduce a very powerful Jean Grey or just tease the Dark Phoenix. It also introduced some interesting, highly evolved, and possibly alien, technology!

In addition to signaling a return to time travel-related stories, Cable’s arrival in next year’s Deadpool 2 brings up another possibility. Since Josh Brolin will portray Cable in at least five movies, we could see a switch in focus from Professor X, Magneto, and Mystique to the Summers family (Cable is the son of Cyclops and a clone of Jean Grey).

No. Not convinced by this actress. (IGN)

This would another positive change, especially since almost all of the core X-Men movies have been about the relationship between Professor X, Magneto, and Mystique (starting with First Class).
