For a very long time, it appeared as if the Fox X-Universe was going out on a low word. The disappointing X-Males double-whammy of Darkish Phoenix and The New Mutants very a lot didn’t impress. Fortuitously, the newly multiversal MCU has picked up the baton, with Patrick Stewart’s Professor X in Physician Unusual within the Multiverse of Insanity being adopted by Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine within the upcoming Deadpool 3.
Nonetheless, there may be one factor from Darkish Phoenix value revisiting. Sophie Turner impressed everybody as Sansa Stark in Recreation of Thrones, earlier than happening to play Jean Gray in X-Males: Apocalypse, with the character taking heart stage in Darkish Phoenix.

Having the globally fashionable college students of Charles Xavier within the again pocket is an ace within the gap for the studio, and if field workplace begins to drop off within the late 2020s, then busting out a brand new technology of mutants is a surefire method to reinvigorate future phases.
Even so, let’s hope we don’t have to attend too lengthy, as we wish to see a minimum of a few of our MCU faves interacting with the X-Males earlier than they retire.
