I remember when they said that their original take on X3 was more intergalactic. And I also remember when they made a big deal about them going to space in the next one. I'm thinking they are toning back on X-men for the other titles like Deadpool, maybe X-Force and New Mutants, and only making X-men movies for the rights. There's no a way a studio would put a first time director on their flagship series like this unless they are pushing them back for the other movie series they are doing. After Apocalypse, saying you are trying to make a very huge story/character like Dark Phoenix grounded means you are going smaller with the X-men. So why include the alien queen that Chastain is supposed to be playing if they're just gonna ground it again? I'm not busting your chops, your theory makes sense, but why include aliens at all if they're really "scaling back"? If they're worried about going balls out ott like Apocalypse did, it can still bomb hard like Fan4stick did while playing it absolutely safe. They'll probably make her leader of a small nation or something. X-men's version of Black Panther from Civil War. I stopped reading Ultimate X-men when they got to Phoenix. Wasn't she leader of some Phoenix worshiping cult? And I think she'll play the same role of antagonist that all the other non-Magneto villains played in the other X-men movies (Kelly, Stryker, Worthington 2, Shaw, Trask and Apocalypse). She's just there to create a conflict for Magneto to get angry about and become the villain again. It's the same thing for every main X-men movie. |
