See what I did there in the headline? (I’m sorry. Moving on…) We may have just lost Hugh Jackman when it comes to any future X-Men movies (maybe he’ll play James Bond next, oh, and thanks, Jerry Seinfeld), but we still have much to be excited about with that part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, thanks to Sophie Turner’s turn playing Jean Gray, AKA Dark Phoenix.
Back in February, Turner revealed that she was “about to start shooting the next X-Men.” At the time I postulated that what she was referring to could be, in this order, the rumored X-Men: Supernova movie, New Mutants, or, and I called it a long-shot, the film be about her as Dark Phoenix.
Well, we know it wasn’t New Mutants she was referring to, because already saw that terrifying trailer.
We eventually found out that my long shot came in as it was reported back in October that X-Men: Dark Phoenix has finished shooting.
