Details on Simon Kinberg’s X-MEN: DARK PHOENIX<\/a><\/strong> have been extremely minimal, which isn’t a big deal considering the film releases on November 2, 2018. Still, fans are eager to get any bits of info they can. The October 2017 issue of Total Film<\/a><\/strong> features a brief quote from Kinberg, where he talks about grounding some of the more fantastical elements from the comics.<\/p>\n

“[We must] find a way to ground it so it’s not too intergalactic”, he says while mentioning how the X-Men movies are known for being “human…” and emotional.<\/p>\n

In the comics, the Phoenix is originally a “force” that inhabits Jean Grey and leads her down a dark path, leading to the death of an alien civilization. An alien empire called the Shi’ar then wage war with her and the X-Men, leading to a major battle on the moon.<\/p>\n

With such a brief quote, we don’t know how much Kinberg intends to “ground.” It wouldn’t be surprising if the battle took place on Earth instead of the moon. It also wouldn’t be a shock if they ignored Phoenix’s cosmic origins and simply focused on Jean’s mutant power growing out of control on it’s own.<\/p>\n

We’ll have to wait and see as more info is revealed in the future.<\/p>\n

Thanks @JenLawFilms<\/a> for the heads up!<\/p>\n
