Famke Janssen’s glad DARK PHOENIX “is finally getting its due.”

Original Jean Grey actress Famke Janssen briefly spoke with Inverse about 20th Century Fox’s “remake” of the Dark Phoenix saga while promoting her upcoming film Asher. Janssen portrayed the telekinetic mutant who is reborn with a dark persona in 2006’s X-Men: The Last Stand and the film was met with criticism for not being faithful to the source material.

“I’m glad that the Dark Phoenix saga is finally getting its due,” she said. “When we tackled it in The Last Stand, it wasn’t given enough time. I remember hearing from fans after we finished the film that they were disappointed that an enormous moment in the comics was given so little screen time. I’m happy for them to give Phoenix the due that she deserves.”

Next year will see the release of DARK PHOENIX with Sophie Turner playing the title role. Director and writer Simon Kinberg has gone on record saying that this version of the iconic tale will be much closer to the comics, with cosmic elements in a grounded situation.

Dark Phoenix arrives in theaters on June 7, 2019.
