Speaking with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etonline.com\/x-men-dark-phoenix-director-simon-kinberg-teases-extraterrestrial-characters-exclusive-102392\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Entertainment Tonight<\/a>, Kinberg says his adaption of the iconic Marvel Comics storyline will be closer than 2006&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/films\/x-men-the-last-stand\/\">X-MEN: THE LAST STAND<\/a>, which had a much different take on Jean Grey&#8217;s dark turn.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s much more loyal to the original comic than X-Men 3, which told the Dark Phoenix story. It&#8217;s a movie that involves extraterrestrial characters, which is not something that we&#8217;ve done in the X-Men franchise before, and is something that is a huge part of the Dark Phoenix saga in the comics.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Cast members Sophie Turner (Jean Grey), Tye Sheridan (Cyclops) and Nicholas Hoult (Beast) previously commented that their film is trying something different with the comic book film genre and that it&#8217;s going to be much more dramatic fare.<\/p>\n<p>Kinberg confirmed this, promising it&#8217;ll be \u201ca little less operatic\u201d than past X-Men entries, saying, &#8220;It\u2019s more intense and it&#8217;s more real and grounded, and hopefully more relatable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In related news, an additional look at the film&#8217;s logo is now online, thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ivan90884287\/status\/998397700482646016\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Javjer Momo<\/a>. It appears to come from a promotional item of some sort, possibly from an international convention? We got our first look at the logo last month via a leaked snapshot taken during 20th Century Fox&#8217;s video presentation at CinemaCon.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"de\" dir=\"ltr\">Primer vistazo al poster de : X MEN dark phoenix\ud83d\ude31\ud83d\ude31\ud83d\ude31\ud83d\ude31 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/W08xFLsokD\">pic.twitter.com\/W08xFLsokD<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; javjer momo (@ivan90884287) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ivan90884287\/status\/998397700482646016?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 21, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">X-Men: Dark Phoenix logo revealed at <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/CinemaCon?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#CinemaCon<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/XMenDarkPhoenix?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#XMenDarkPhoenix<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/DarkPhoenix?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#DarkPhoenix<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Q9bwmTAiCp\">pic.twitter.com\/Q9bwmTAiCp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; The Nerdy Basement (@nerdy_basement) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nerdy_basement\/status\/989589160422932482?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 26, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>Dark Phoenix<\/em> arrive in theaters on February 14, 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While doing press rounds for DEADPOOL 2, producer Simon Kinberg opened up a little more&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":48167,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"#DarkPhoenix director Simon Kinberg teases \"extraterrestrial characters\" in his upcoming #XMen film.","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[15,74],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48161","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crew-talk","category-untitled-2018-film"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/x-menfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DP-LOGO-rec.png?fit=750%2C410&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48161","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=48161"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48161\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/48167"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=48161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=48161"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=48161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
