While there has been much speculation about how thismay have already affectedthe 10 - Men enfranchisement and the Marvel Cinematic Universe , the delicate nature of the deal means that no concrete design have been made yet . address toEWabout this week ’s release ofa novel laggard forDark Phoenix , Kinberg said that he has no idea if this will be the final movie to feature the current cast :
" I truly do n’t know . I have n’t had formal talks with Disney . I know [ Marvel Studios President ] Kevin Feige very well . But we have n’t had conventional talks because until the merger is official , they ’re not allowed to have those form of conversations with the folks at Fox or myself . What ’s interesting is manifestly I started this movie long before Disney purchase Fox , and I draw shut the motion-picture show knowing that it was the 4th motion picture with our First Class hurl and that the Phoenix narrative for me is the ultimate 10 - Men story . I approached the movie like it was the climax in some way — not that there could n’t be other motion picture , but I did approach the movie as if , like , if you spent 20 years of living with this menage , this is the pic you see the household in truth tested , strike aside , and hopefully come back together . There was something about that sense of stop for the family , that sense of test , that sense of exit . It felt like not this is the close necessarily , but this is it for them . "
Kinberg further add :
" It is the climax of this enfranchisement . When we did the hair and makeup tests for this motion-picture show , I hadthe threshold song “ The End”playing just to set the mode for the actors and the crew . It was this feeling of this is the sexual climax of a lot of stories and a retentive relationship that we ’ve all built up . It matt-up like it was clock time at least to give them some huge volatile story that necessitate a dissimilar kind of resilience from them . I really felt on this one I could n’t opine where else to go with these characters after what they ’ve pass through in this movie . "
While Michael Fassbender ( Magneto ) , James McAvoy ( Professor X ) , Jennifer Lawrence ( Mystique ) , and Nicholas Hoult ( Beast ) have been with the current run of X - Men motion picture since the sack ofX - man : First Classin 2011 , player like Tye Sheridan ( Cyclops ) , Sophie Turner ( Jean Grey ) , Alexandra Shipp ( Storm ) , and Kodi Smit - McPhee ( Nightcrawler ) have only appeared in one previous film -X - Men : Apocalypse . If the current 10 - Men franchise does end withDark Phoenix , it ’s toilsome not to finger that their story has been slightly cut short .
Assuming thatDark Phoenixreally is the last time we ’ll see these versions of the characters , then the pressure is on to pitch a worthy last film . lover became somewhat flighty after trial viewing reportedly give out to impress audiences , and the latest trailer has also reap some backlash for brazenlyspoiling the end of a major character . There are also concerns , given that it ’s an adaptation of the same comic book electric arc from the same screenwriter , that it could end up being a repetition ofthe much - deridedX - Men : The Last Stand . However , we ’re holding out Bob Hope thatDark Phoenixwill prove to be desirable conclusion to the Fox era of X - Men movies .
