Alexandra Shipp on X-MEN: DARK PHOENIX: “It’s very accurate to the comics.”

While doing promo runs for her upcoming black comedy horror flick “Tragedy Girls,” actress Alexandra Shipp briefly talked to Deadline about her upcoming role as Storm in X-MEN: DARK PHOENIX. Simon Kinberg’s debut film will be Shipp’s second time portraying the weather-controlling mutant.

When asked specifically about her character’s hair in the film (will the mohawk return??), she refused to answer, saying “…if I ever want to do another X-Men movie in the future I can’t tell you sh*t. (Laughs)”

What she can say is, “as a fan of X-Men, you are going to be very happy — because I’m a huge fan of X-Men and so is our director, Simon [Kinberg], who’s also writing and executive producing it. He is not letting anything go. It’s very accurate to the comics and he really gives the fans what they’ve been asking for, in my opinion. All I can say is that you’re really going to like it.”

“Dark Phoenix” arrives in theater on November 2, 2018!
