X-Men: Dark Phoenix Movie Speculation and News

no dazzler in x-men dark Phoenix

That's disappointing, but somewhat expected. Bringing Dazzler into the mix, when the cast is already so packed with major names, would be pushing it. But I find it odd that Fox keeps teasing it. They did it with X-men Apocalypse with that whole Taylor Swift gimmick. Now, they're doing it again. At some point, you have to wonder whether it just might be easier to add Dazzler to a movie and be done with it.

Dazzler has already been cast

Dazzler has already been cast...

Incredibly unconfirmed internet rumour/wishful thinking at best so far.

Maybe so but her picture is included with the other actors behind the scenes on Fox set

She is not cut out, juan was paraphrasing Kinbger's comments in the Instagram where he said Katy Perry is bedazzling, but not Dazzler.

Let's say that unfocused, vague picture is really her.
Where are you getting Dazzler from?

First Genosha, and now Brazil.

Yeah not sure how a Brazil setting would play into this film. But it could be like a very brief stop over while just showing the planet Earth all reacting at once to the landing of aliens? Or the emergence of Phoenix? Who knows, might not imply an extended stay in a Brazil setting for the film. Of course, that COULD happen as well

Wouldn't be surprised if Brazilian Kid #2 gets more character development than Storm and Cyclops combined.

Maybe Dark Phoenix destroys all the Wonders of the World like in the animated show and the giant Jesus statue is one of them.

Done too many times in disaster movies.

Done too many times in disaster movies.

XTAS did the different city destruction montage first during their DPS arc. I remember her setting flame to the Taj Mahal and the climate chaos in NYC which led to the Spidey cameo.

Kind of hard for me to fathom how much some people supposedly X-Men fans are hating the movies and the people who create them

Just don't get it tbh

Not talking about the allegations re: Singer either although again innocent until proven guilty is a justice system rule *for good reasons* precisely to avoid mob mentality off of suspicion/hearsay/"He looks creepy to me" etc

i hate the xmen films because they took perfect stories with rich characters and reduced it to a pile of horse crap where the only characters who came out having any REAL "development" over a nearly 20 year period were Logan, mystique, magneto and professor xavier (how mystique and magneto get better development over rogue, storm, Nightcrawler, colossus is simply beyond me). the xmen are known for their strong female characters and diversity but you couldn't or can't tell that from the movies. all the characters of color are relegated to minor roles (even though storm is one of the major players with the xmen), evil, or dead. and let's not start with the white washing and over emphasis on needing to drive this narrative home that the men are the leaders and shakers of the franchise when the opposite is true in the comics. the writing is very lazy as well. i mean when you take a character lie storms origin and replace it to the garbage in the movie it become ready apparent how lazy the screenwriters were. there is nothing to celebrate when the fox-men are simply the xmen by name alone. outside of that they are nothing even close to what made me fall in love with them. i think if u ask most people who hate these films you would get something similar to what I said.

[Confuzzled]

Other than Storm, how much diversity have the X-titles actually pushed? Jubilee, with her wacky Chinese fireworks powers? Psylocke, the white lady in a Japanese body? Bishop, who came close to being a breakout character but then was relegated to villain/marginalised territory?

I agree that Fox hasn't done the Claremazons much justice but the diversity aspect of the main X-Titles is overrated. It's usually the later generations and spin-offs that have more racial and sexual orientation diversity.
