Casting calls for X-MEN: DARK PHOENIX production in Montreal.

X-MEN: DARK PHOENIX is currently casting for extras who can travel to Montreal this Summer.

FJB Casting put out a recent casting call, announcing they’re looking for “men and women 30 years and older from various ethniticies, all countries with a business and professional look.”

Older casting notices have also been uncovered. Last month, the same company was looking for “natural blond extras with pale skin and eyes of all ages.”

Interestingly, Kenyon Wells Casting was seeking a “male actor between the ages of 10 and 12 to play a supporting role which requires the actor to be chubby (the heavier, the better) and appear sweet, innocent and genuine.”

What does this all mean in context of the film’s story? Your guess is as good as ours!

Production on “Dark Phoenix” begins this July in Montreal and runs through October for theatrical release on November 2, 2018.
