With DARK PHOENIX now in cinemas, X-Men fans are noticing there’s quite a few scenes from trailers and promotional photos that never made the final cut. It’s widely known that director Simon Kinberg’s directorial debut underwent reshoots to completely change the third act and rework some scenes after test screenings and studio suggestions. Below are some of the most noticeable omissions we noticed.

I wish they would just released a director cut, I mean it’s bullshit that they changed so much from the trailer.
Will ANY of this be available with DVD release……?
Some, probably not all, will be included as deleted scenes on the home video release. No official word yet if there are any plans for an extended or alternate cut. 🙂

They changed it because the aliens were originally the Skrulls. In any event despite this being a very depressing movie (How are they going to explain Rachel and Cable?) I did love it. I’m sorry this is the last. I’m not looking forward to the MCU reboot!
Please, from what trailer or spot is the first image from?
