X-Men: Dark Phoenix
Release Date: November 2nd, 2018
Cast and Crew: James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, Nicholas Hoult and pretty much all of Apocalypse‘s main cast are back for this fourth entry in the rebooted mainline X-Men franchise. Jessica Chastain is stepping up to cover villain duties, as the alien shapeshifting Skrull empress, while longtime writer/producer Simon Kinberg is making his directorial debut.
Plot: As the title makes clear, Sophie Turner’s Jean Grey will be the focal point of Dark Phoenix as she struggles to contain her immense powers, leading to the emergence of the apocalyptic Phoenix entity. The X-Men will be depicted as a proactive crime-fighting team for the first time while Magneto has retired to run a mutant community on the island of Genosha.
In keeping with the previous movies, the timeline will also be shifted forward a decade, being set in 1992. Oh, and we know that one of the four First Class characters who are still around will die.
