Jessica Chastain Confirms X-MEN: DARK PHOENIX Role As The Villainous Shi'ar Empress Lilandra
We had heard Jessica Chastain was in negotiations to join the cast of X-Men: Dark Phoenix as Lilandra, and now the actress has confirmed her villainous role via an Instagram post. More past the jump...
Jessica Chastain has confirmed that she'll soon be heading to Montreal to begin filming her scenes for Simon Kinberg's X-Men: Dark Phoenix.
Back in June, THR reported that the Academy Award-nominated actress was in talks for the role of the villainous (at least, initially) Majestrix of the Shi'ar Empire, Lilandra Neramani, and Chastain has made it pretty clear that her character has ill intentions towards the X-Men with her Instagram snap below.
As comic book fans will no doubt be aware, Lilandra and Charles Xavier actually wind up becoming an item, so it'll be interesting to see how their dynamic plays out on the big screen.
