More Evidence Points To X-MEN: DARK PHOENIX Being Released As A Two-Part Movie
Following Olivia Munn's comments about X-Men: Dark Phoenix being a two-part movie, a new report has provided more evidence in regards to that being the case! Hit the jump for everything we know so far...
Last night, Olivia Munn seemingly let it slip that Simon Kinberg's take on The Dark Phoenix Saga will be released in two parts and now a new report provides further evidence in regards to that being the case. According to Universo X-Men, one of the movie's extras has revealed that the studio is planning on bringing them all back shortly after the first movie finishes shooting for a second instalment.
Apparently, the plan is to wait for the winter to pass in Montreal and then for filming to resume either early next year or near the summer for the second part of the story to hit theaters soon after in 2019.
Should we believe this? Well, it makes sense. Fox has set an untitled Marvel movie to be released exactly one year after X-Men: Dark Phoenix hits theaters and you can understand why they would want to try and imitate what Marvel Studios is doing over the next two years with Avengers: Infinity War.
This news definitely points to Fox having faith in Simon Kinberg being able to deliver the goods with this new take on the iconic story and it's certainly grand enough to be split in two!
