X-Men: Dark Phoenix
The a la mode merchandise forX - Men : Dark Phoenixconfirms the new costumes the team will wear , which pull aspiration from one of the most critically acclaimed eras in the comics . Fox and the minds behind theX - Menseries have taken mint of impropriety with the source material over the years , include the suits the various mutants tire . Over time , there have been nod to Hellenic outfits , with Magneto particularly skewing close to the Sir Frederick Handley Page . It was n’t until the denouement ofX - Men : Apocalypse , however , that the film put the squad in anything nigh to their comic record costumes .
Back in March , aset photo forX - Men : Dark Phoenixoffered our first look at the costume that will be on show in next year ’s movie . now , it was clear that the creators of the picture show were eyeing Grant Morrison ’s seminal test onNew X - Menstarting in 2001 , which saw Frank quiet give the squad a whole unexampled look . Outfitted in turgid , black , bomber jackets with immense , yellow x ’s , the plan variety was a bold one that was part of new editor - in - chief Joe Quesada ’s move to reinvigorate the franchise . The move bring , as the taradiddle that roll out across eight arcs has defined the modernX - Menuniverse in the comics .
Today , newX - Men : Dark Phoenixfigureswere divulge as part of the in - picture palace merchandise for the picture . They ’re the first official look we have at the new costume of the film and confirm the suits seen in the premature solidifying exposure . And though nothing has been mentioned regarding the influence of Morrison and Quietly ’s work , the implications are exciting .
Morrison kicked off his story inNew X - Men#114 ( the numbering continued over from the mainX - Menbook ) by changing a number of things in the universe . Genosha ( and seemingly Magneto ) was destroyed , Xavier ’s house was commute from a small preparation facility to a full - blown mutant school ( inspired by the late year ’s film ) , and new characters joined the rank . Emma Frost became an X - Men in her slow shift to a hero , while her clones the Stepford Cuckoos were introduced . The three surviving members of the psychical beehive intellect became big musician onThe Gifted , which could card their comer on the big projection screen .
Characters like Xorn , Quentin Quire , and Casandra Nova were all introduced , adding new psychic to the strip that could factor into the films . Xorn become out to be Magneto in disguise , an bow that could easy come into swordplay in the flick now that he ’s catch as a terrorist . We could see Erik use the ploy to infiltrate the young X - Men squad , destabilizing it from within . Casandra Nova , meanwhile , proved to be one of the X - Men ’s greatest foes as she ’s fundamentally a psychic counterpart of Professor X. The construct may be a bit judicious for the moving picture , but withJessica Chastain cast in an unknown roleinX - Men : Dark Phoenix , perhaps a interlingual rendition of Nova will be in the moving picture .
Quentin Quire walk the line between hero and villain throughout his clock time in the strip , and is currently part of thenewWest Coast Avengers . But the colourful fiber ( do it for his " Magneto Was Right " shirts ) would be a great plus to the cinema . Morrison ’s ladder slowly build up Xavier ’s shoal as a place packed with imaginative and interesting bet mutants . The films have n’t explore many non - humanoid characters yet , butX - man : Dark Phoenixcould change that by going in a more gonzo direction . We ’ve already see a nod to the rivulet in Beast ’s more cat - like appearance , a result of his petty variation . And the Phoenix ( and her end ) also factor into the story . TheX - Menmovies always pick and choose from the comic , but with the story ofX - Men : Dark Phoenixunder wrap , it might be deserving looking toNew X - Menfor some hints of what ’s to derive .
