Remember the mid-2000s when a lot of blockbuster movies would have tie-in songs with cheesy music videos? Well,
Dark Phoenix is fully embracing that trend by teaming up with Emeli Sande for "Extraordinary Being." It's a decent enough tune and it includes a fair bit of footage from the movie.
At the 2:00 mark, however, we get to see a blonde woman in a white jumpsuit who is using her mutant powers to create some pretty impressive looking light energy.
Any X-Men fan worth their salt will be well aware that this is more than likely Dazzler, a character who has been confirmed to make an appearance since 2017. At the time, rumours swirled that Taylor Swift would play the character and the studio debunked that, all while confirming that Dazzler was set to appear in some form. It's thought that she may be played by Halston Sage (
The Orville).
Unfortunately, as has become commonplace in Fox's Marvel movies, she's probably just going to be another mutant in the background and won't play any sort of meaningful role in proceedings.
On the plus side, she does look cool but probably not cool enough to save
Dark Phoenix based on the leaked plot details which have been doing the rounds and rumoured behind the scenes issues.
What do you think about this take on Dazzler?
