Though it was never officially announced that Jessica Chastain was playing Shi'ar Empress Lilandra Neramani in X-Men: Dark Phoenix, because she's the character that was mentioned in the initial trade reports we all just assumed it must be the case.

However, Chastain herself recently cast doubt on this with an Instagram post, and now EW has seemingly confirmed that she'll actually be playing The Skrull Queen!

Though the trade doesn't mention the character by name, they do reveal that she's "an otherworldly shapeshifter who comes into contact with Phoenix." Seems pretty cut and dry - although there could be a lot more to discover about this role.

We also have our first look at Chastain as her mysterious villain:

Fox: *Scrambles to do it first*
