Dark Phoenix is set to be released next June but that will be the final X-Men movie not set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Fox/Disney merger means that both that team and the Fantastic Four will return "home" and exist in the same world as The Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy. However, actress Sophie Turner clearly doesn't believe that the MCU is capable of handling such "complexities."
"I don’t know," she said when asked about the X-Men's future. "I feel the complexities of the X-Men being shunned by society and segregated is not something that happens in the Avengers universe. Of course, I want to see them crossover but I don't think the themes through X-Men will collaborate well with the Avengers. It’ll be very different. If they do it, I’d love to see how it turns out."
While it's highly unlikely that Marvel Studios would keep the same cast members for its planned reboot, the Game of Thrones star may have just talked herself out of a job with these remarks about the MCU. There's absolutely no reason to think that Feige won't introduce the complex themes the actress is referring to in the eventual reboot and they'll probably do it in a more comic accurate way!
