X-MEN: DARK PHOENIX: Dazzler Confirmed To Appear But Will She Be Played By Taylor Swift?
It's been confirmed that Dazzler will be making her long overdue big screen debut in X-Men: Dark Phoenix next year, but what exactly should we expect from the sparkly mutant? Find out here...
Entertainment Weekly reveals that mutant pop star Dazzler will indeed be making an appearance in Simon Kinberg's X-Men: Dark Phoenix. The fan-favourite character has been rumoured to show up in the last three instalments, but it's never happened and a reference to the hero was cut from X-Men: Apocalypse. However, the mutant - who manipulates light - is finally coming to the big screen.
The site reveals that Dazzler will have only a small role in X-Men: Dark Phoenix and that there are currently no plans to have singer Taylor Swift play her despite her name being linked to the character in the past. As a result, we have no idea who will be cast in the part, but chances are it will be a pop star.
A casting notice a few weeks ago suggested Dazzler would appear, but it's good to have it confirmed!
Other cast members who will be showing up in the 2018 release include James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Sophie Turner, Tye Sheridan, Alexander Shipp, and Kodi Smit-McPhee. Jessica Chastain is in talks to play the villain, but we'll have to wait and see if that pans out. How do you guys feel about Dazzler coming to X-Men: Dark Phoenix? Let us know down below.
