I hope so, because unlike so many prominent characters with iconic visuals, writers and editors don't really value Jean's contributions to the mythos. Besides I wouldn't be surprised that Hickman's long-term plan involves Quire becoming the Phoenix, it's definitely the direction some writers have been moving in this last decade.
Quentin being Phoenix will be an other attempt to give it to anyone... but Jean. And then there is 2 ways :
- Quentin will go Dark (déjà-vu)
- Quentin will be in full control of it (yes, because writers think neither Jean or Scott could keep sane with it...)
