“Dark Phoenix” will follow the X-Men in 1991 (as mentioned by Christopher M) as they deal with the growing power of teammate Jean Grey (Turner) and an advanced alien civilization called the Shi’ar empire, led by Lilandra (Jessica Chastain).

Production is planned to continue through October for theatrical release on November 2, 2018.
