‘X-Men: Dark Phoenix’ is the final chapter in the Fox X-Men story that began way back in 2000 with the first ‘X-Men’ film. But after so many ups and downs over the last two decades, is it the send off that the merry band of mutants deserve? Or are things truly darkest before the dawn? Luckily, Ian and I are here to navigate you through the questions. What were the high points in this final chapter? What were the lows? And what parts felt like reshoots and course corrections? We look back over the history of the Fox X-Men movies and look ahead to their inclusion in the Disney MCU. Also, what about the Fantastic Four? When can we expect to see the X-Men return to the big screen? And how? It’s all here in the Geekscape Dark Phoenix Special! Enjoy!

Fox has announced that it will be releasing the next installment in the X-Men series in November 2, 2018. Dark Phoenix will be directed by Simon Kinberg, who was a writer for X-Men: The Last Stand, and was a producer for X-Men: Apocalypse, and X-Men: Days of Future Past. This will be Kinberg’s first time in the director’s chair, so we’ll have to see what he does with this addition to the X-Men saga.

Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Nicholas Hoult, Alexandra Shipp, Sophie Turner, Tye Sheridan, and Kodi Smit-McPhee will all be returning for Dark Phoenix. Jessica Chastain, who has an impressive resume including  The Help, The Martian, and Zero Dark Thirty, is in talks to play Shi’ar Empress Lilandra, the main villainess.

Good lord how does she get dressed in the morning?
