Disney’s marketing manager being forced to hype up the new trailer is entertaining: https://mobile.twitter.com/asadayaz/...28801627086848
(lol remember Grace Randolph saying Disney cancelled the movie)
Sophie Turner should be the president.

Let the flames destroy all but that which is pure and true!
It is kinda surreal to see Disney pushing this: seeing Dark Phoenix merch and footage at CinemaCon being a prime example.
Randolph wasn't the only person who thought Disney would shelve this movie, though she may have been the most prominent, but I never bought that line for a minute. Why would Disney not cash the checks for a movie they had to spend very little money on? It just didn't make sense.
What can I say but, "I love comics."
I think it's fitting. I also think the whole rumors about this movie getting shelved or pushed to a streaming service was just raging from those who just hate seeing Marvel characters in something other than the MCU. I get the feeling that the fact that Dark Phoenix existed somehow undercut their vision for the future of the franchise. They wanted to get to the MCU X-Men as quickly as possible and for whatever reason, Dark Phoenix was delaying that.
Whatever the reason, there was never a chance that Disney would shelve a movie that cost this much to make. Plus, the actors and actresses involved are relying on this movie, if only to put it on their resume. The movie was well into production before the merger was announced and mostly complete by the time it became official. Canceling the movie would be akin to throwing $200 million in the trash and welcoming the production crew to sue them for even more. That's just not sound business practice, especially from a company like Disney.
Plus, I was at NYCC when Kinberg, Turner, and Sheriden were there to promote the movie. The crowd was electric. The cheering was real. I could tell by the way they talked about it how much they cared about this movie. And I think it'll show in the finished product.

There's more chemistry in this video than Marsden and Jansen had in three movies.
That's not a knock on either of them, as actors. But they just didn't have much of a dynamic. There was never a moment when I felt like these two captured the spirit of the couple in the comics.
I see that dynamic with Turner and Sheridan. I saw it in X-Men Apocalypse. They had quiet, subtle moments that made me believe they had a connection through these characters. It was more substantial than anything I ever saw in the original trilogy and I hope we get the necessary drama in Dark Phoenix.

I disagree with you on the chemistry between Turner and Sheridan. They do have one thing working in their favor that Marsden and Jansen never had - no Wolverine to complicate things. If Logan didn't force Cyclops to third place it might have worked better in the original films. Sheridan doesn't feel like Scott and Turner doesn't feel like Jean either. I wanted to like them and give them a shot, but I wasn't impressed. I have low expectations for the Dark Phoenix, but I hope it's the ending to the Fox X-Franchise we deserve.
