Editor Lee Smith seems to be working hard on this like he did with previous films and is testing alternate cuts. Hence why there has been so many test screenings. Each test screening has not been the same. So the death scene that people laughed at likely won’t make the final cut. He apparently did this for Dunkirk.
Quote from Lee Smith. Which must be referring to Dark Phoenix since that's the only other project listed under his filmography.
And sounds like he does a lot of test screenings, considering what he said on Dunkirk:
Which is a good sign because a master editor can save a movie.

I’m at work now on a new project that has a very large greenscreen component. You just have to really retrain your mind as to how to imagine what’s not there. And then when you put the effects in you have to keep being incredibly diligent about making sure the perspectives, lenses, depth of field, horizon…

All of that we played with quite extensively because that has a very strong emotional kick. We experimented with that over several screenings before we arrived at the final choice. For the rest of it, it’s just a matter of where to cut. We might take one part a little bit further and one part a little bit less. Or sometimes when we’d watch it, and we went back to a particular story line, you felt like we’d been away from too long?
