10 Characters We Want To See In X-Men: Dark Phoenix

6) Starjammers

If X-Men: Dark Phoenix is heading into outer space, it might as well go all out in embracing the full scope of the X-Men universe on the page. And one of the best ways of doing that is to feature the Corsair’s team of space pirates, the Starjammers.

Formed by Christopher Summers, the Starjammers are made up of several misfit aliens who’d been enslaved by the Shi’Ar. The group formed a tight bond based on their mutual hatred of the Empire and their main goal is to get vengeance on the Shi’Ar for what they did to them. Over the years, the Starjammers have allied with the X-Men on several occasions – as well as other Marvel heroes like Hulk and Silver Surfer. Captain Marvel herself, Carol Danvers, was even a member at one point.

Like the Corsair, we’d never have hoped to see such an obscure group from the comics on the screen a little while ago, but now, including the Starjammers in Dark Phoenix seems like the perfect thing to do. If Fox want their own version of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, introducing the Starjammers here before maybe featuring them in their own movie in the future would be a very canny way to go.
