With Disney’s acquisition of Fox in the process, it means that assuming nothing goes wrong and the deal goes through, Fox’s ownership of some of Marvel’s franchises will be returning to Marvel (or Disney). This includes the X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Deadpool, all of whom will be folded back into the MCU.
What this means is that the upcoming Dark Phoenix movie could possibly be the last X-Men movie we will see from Fox, and also the last time we see those actors play as those characters. That being said for those who are looking forward to it, the trailer for the movie has been released which you can check out in the video above.
For those unfamiliar, it is where Jean Grey is possessed by the Phoenix Force and becomes a completely different person and a villain. Fox had attempted to introduce the Dark Phoenix in previous X-Men movies, namely in X-Men: The Last Stand, although in this particular instance, it seems that it will be based on the X-Men characters back during their younger days.
Sophie Turner of Game of Thrones fame will be returning and starring as Jean Grey/Dark Phoenix, while James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender will be reprising their roles as Professor X and Magneto. Jennifer Lawrence will also be returning as Mystique. The Dark Phoenix movie was originally meant to be released this year, but it has since been pushed to February 2019.
