However, following the events of X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) that timeline has been erased, making this a new version of the same story.
#X men 2 movie phoenix series
Brett Ratner’s closing chapter to the original X-Men series (before they went down the prequel route with the more recent movies) also adapted the Dark Phoenix saga, and ended up with an uber-powered Jean murdering Professor X and Cyclops and being mercy killed by Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. Does Dark Phoenix have the same plot as X-Men 3? Manipulated by a mysterious figure (played by Jessica Chastain) with illusion abilities and turning against her friends, Jean ends up becoming a super-powered menace that even murders one of her own people, and it’s up to the X-Men to bring her round or take her down before it’s too late. What’s the Dark Phoenix story?īased on Chris Claremont’s iconic X-Men run of the 1980s (specifically The Dark Phoenix Saga), the new X-Men film sees the team of mutants forced to face one of their own when powerful telekinetic and telepath Jean Grey (Sophie Turner) is possessed by a powerful extra-terrestrial force.
The initial footage gave away far fewer details, and is soundtracked to The Doors’ This is the End, hinting at Dark Phoenix’s status as the final chapter in the X-Men saga. The first international trailer also gave away this plot point. There are a few actually – and the second official trailer actually reveaked a pretty big spoiler from the film about the death of a major character, which we won’t mention here in case you’ve managed to avoid it so far. On review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes Dark Phoenix is currently rotten at 16% positive reviews. If this is the end, it's a solid rather than spectacular goodbye," Empire's Ian Freer said. "Better than Last Stand or Apocalypse but never hitting the heights of X2, Dark Phoenix thrives when its heroes are front and centre. Others were a little more balanced in their response, noting that it was an improvement on 2016 installment on X-Men: Apocalypse with some fun and imaginative moments, even if the film's existence did end up feeling a little surplus to requirements in the now-packed superhero landscape. The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw said: "Sophie Turner stars in Jean Grey's 90s-set origin story that offers glimpses of intrigue before regressing into a dull CGI-fest." The reviews are in for the final X-Men movie, and they're largely not too positive - CNET's Sean Keane described the film as "inexplicably boring," IndieWire described it as "by-the-numbers" and only "mildly interesting," while the Hollywood Reporter noted it was a "whimper" of an ending to the X-Men franchise that "never remotely fulfilled its potential." However, shortly after debuting the movie’s first trailer with the Valentine’s Day release date Fox pushed the movie AGAIN to its current date, making some fans a bit nervous about its future. Originally, the film was scheduled to be released on 2nd November 2018, but was pushed back to February 14th the following year instead. The latest X-Men movie is now in UK cinemas and will be released on the 7th June 2019 in the USA – but it’s been quite a journey for it to arrive at its release date.
