Wow I can’t believe thst Dark Phoenix ended with Prof X and Magneto moving in together it truly is Gay Rights 🌈
Erik really went from “Don’t give me the ‘Old Friend’ shit Charles” to “Move in with me Babe”.
Cherik is Canon baby!!!!!
ERIK OFFERING CHARLES A HOME AND THEM GETTING A HAPPY ENDING AND THEY’RE ESSENTIALLY MARRIED IM—
Thank you Michael Fassbender, for giving us your best shark smile in that long overdue European honeymoon
Simon really out here killing two birds with one movie
cherik fandom mutuals we gotta talk. listen. please listen
y’all really out here tagging shit with “““#xmdp””” and pretending like we all aren’t reading it as “x-men double penetration” every single time. going about your day without a single care!!! why are you making me read this
Super real dialogue from X-Men: Dark Phoenix
Last scene of the movie, in a cafe somewhere in Montreal standing in for New York or Poland or Space or Genosha or where-ever...
Charles: I told you (again) that there was good in you too, Erik. I was right (again).
Erik: Yes, old friend (again). Also I brought chess. We play chess because it's a euphemism for sex. Because they can't actually show us having sex. So chess (again).
Charles: At least they gave you a wife to have sex with even if they killed her after ten minutes of screen time. I just get chess. And bad flirting.
Erik: We're going off script here...um...okay let's see -
What will you do when the humans / aliens / Stryker / Avengers / Sentinels come for you and your children (again)?
Charles: I don't know - what will you do when we end this movie on good terms and then you fuck off and do something batshit crazy so you can be the 'bad guy' again for no reason that makes any sense (again)?
Erik: Don't worry, Marvel is getting the rights back so we're going to be played by other people soon (again).
Charles: Right you are old friend. Let's just get back to the sex - I mean chess!
THE END
Ok then...
This news deserves my own interpretation of the scene (first time in centuries I use photoshop for something this basic lol)
Look at it this way: now you can categorise your fix-its. There was XMFC fix-it, then there was XMDOFP fix-it, and then XMA fix-it. Now there’s gonna be XMDP fix-its…
Was super fucking pissed about Charles being portrayed as a Fuckup Again, after all the character development he went through in DoFP and XMA, until I realized the fuckup shown was before the events of Apocalypse.
Please lawd let Charles progress as a character for once. You can't keep rehashing the same issues in every movie in every trilogy if you expect some modicum of authenticity.
The writer-director talks Jean Grey's cosmic crisis, Jessica Chastain, and Magneto's mutant paradise. Read more at Empire.
1) Jean Grey: The Early Years
While X-Men: Apocalypse introduced a grown-up Jean to the First Class timeline, it turns out that Charles Xavier has a longer-standing relationship with her. “There are not a lot of flashbacks in the movie, but that foundational relationship between Young Jean and a younger Charles is one of the core themes of the film,” Kinberg explains. “The question of Jean’s relationship to her own powers becomes a big conflict for her throughout the film once she’s transformed by something that happens up in space, that has nothing to do with her childhood. It opens with a mission that takes them up into space that has consequences for Jean that ripple throughout the movie.”
2) The Professor’s Problem
In previous tellings of the Dark Phoenix story, Professor X has limited Jean’s capabilities after seeing the full potential of her power – and the Dark Phoenix trailer teases at a similar strand here. “Charles has been hiding secrets about Jean’s past from her that get revealed over the span of the movie, and only make her more unstable,” say Kinberg. “It’s the most inopportune time for this character to become unstable emotionally, because she’s becoming unstable in a much different way after this cosmic thing that happened to her in space. In this way, Dark Phoenix is the most intimate, emotional and personal movie we’ve made, and yet also has the biggest breadth in terms of spanning beyond our planet, even beyond our galaxy. There’s a sense that the things that are happening emotionally for Jean and what’s happening cosmically inside her is making her incredibly unstable, dangerous, destructive.”
3) Present Day
Cut back to the main timeline, and a reasonable amount of time has elapsed since we last saw Prof X and co. “It’s 1992, nine years after Apocalypse,” confirms Kinberg. “The X-Men have become the X-Men that many of us know from the comics – they are heroes. They’re still viewed as different by society, but they’ve been more embraced than ever before. And when the movie starts in 1992, they are a known superhero team.”
4) Suburban Outfitters
In a move sure to please many long-term fans, the X-uniform in Dark Phoenix finally brings in a classic yellow-and-blue design similar to the comic and cartoon incarnations. “I’ve been waiting to do that from the first time I ever got a call from Avi Arad,” Kinberg enthuses. “Avi and Kevin Feige were the chief two people that called me about an X-Men movie 15 years ago. We talked about the costumes, and what Bryan Singer had done I understood and liked, but they were very different to what I had grown up seeing in the comics. So I was excited finally as the director to have more of a say and clothe them in their classic costumes.”
The new look pinches elements from various designs seen on page and screen over the years. “I had a board full of my favourite images from the comics, and then I worked with our costume designer, who also worked on Logan, to create something that was incredibly loyal to the comics and then also had a little bit of its own feel. There’s little nuances from the cartoons, the comics, from whatever it is that if you were a fan you grew up reading or watching.”
5) Sense Of Mystique
While Mystique was primarily an antagonist in the original X-Mentrilogy, working alongside Magneto, she’s skewed more heroic as Raven since her introduction in First Class. At the end of Apocalypseshe chose to stay with Charles, and help establish the X-Men – and she’s still part of the group nine years on. “Raven is a part of the X-Men, but she’s critical of some of Charles’ methodologies, in terms of him feeling as though they can just dress up in those costumes and be considered the same as the rest of humanity,” Kinberg explains. “So there is a schism forming between her and Charles. That struggle has been present in every movie, and we do it in a hopefully slightly more subtle way in this film. She toggles back and forth between Raven and Mystique, and there is meaning to that as there has always been in the previous three X-Men movies.”
6) Star-Crossed Lovers
Jean and Scott Summers, aka Cyclops, both entered the prequel saga in Apocalypse, with sparks of chemistry between the two. In the comics and original film trilogy, the pair are a fully-fledged item – and in the intervening nine years they find themselves in a similar place emotionally here. “The love story between Scott and Jean is such an integral part of the Dark Phoenix saga in any iteration, whether it’s the comic book or the cartoons,” reasons Kinberg. “Obviously we don’t have Wolverine, so that’s one less part of that love story. It is very central [to the movie], and they are a couple. As Jean starts to become more unstable, there are people in the X-Men who don’t think she can be helped and saved, many of whom think the world and others need helping and saving from her. And so Scott is probably the most prominent person who’s holding on to the hope that Jean can be saved.”
7) The Village Green Preservation Society
While Charles remained at his mansion to build the X-Men team at the end of Apocalypse, Erik Lensherr, aka Magneto, went his separate way. In the Dark Phoenix trailer, he’s in a leafy commune when Jean approaches him for guidance. “What you’re seeing is the beginnings of Genosha,” reveals Kinberg. “That’s where Erik is when we meet him. It’s like Magneto’s Israel – a land built for mutants, a homeland where they can be safe and self-sufficient. Jean finds him there because what’s happening to her is making her do destructive things, and she doesn’t know why. The only person she’s known who has done destructive and lethal things in the past but came back from it is Magneto. She feels he alone can give her answers because he’s lived both sides. He’s lost control and killed and hurt people, some of whom he even loved, and yet he’s also found a measure of peace and that’s what she’s searching for.”
8) Intergalactic Influence
The main new cast addition to the series is Jessica Chastain, who’s gone all platinum-blonde to play… well, we don’t know. But Kinberg elaborated a little on the origins of her character. “I can tell you this much. Jessica’s character is not of this Earth. She’s an extra-terrestrial character, an alien character,” he teases. “I won’t say much more in detail on the specifics of that. While everyone else is trying to control this power inside of Jean, she’s much more interested in essentially encouraging her to go further with it and try to be the peaceful side of herself. She is the devil on Jean’s shoulder, so to speak.”
9) Cosmic Jam
Cut to the end of the trailer, and we get a glimpse of the outer space incident that kicks off the whole Phoenix takeover. “Jean is in space, and what she’s taking in is a cosmic force that she thinks is one thing, and over the course of the movie realises is something far different, that our human science can’t explain,” says Kinberg. “But she needs to find a way to control it or she’ll destroy more than just her friends – and even our planet.”
10) Cracked Actor
Before the title card, we see Jean in Phoenix mode, face streaked with white lines – and she’s only just getting started. “That’s not maximum [Phoenix]. That’s a two or a three on the Dark Phoenix spectrum,” warns Kinberg. “It is a manifestation of her transformation from the Jean we know into Phoenix. Over the span of the movie we see different symptoms or iterations of that. The lines on her face let you know that Jean is losing control, and that force inside her is trying to escape, push through, take over. Those cracks are almost as if something inside her that’s more powerful than she is is trying to push out of her body.”
11) Earthy Tones
For years, the X-Men logo and title card has been emblasoned in bold metallic fonts – but not here. X-Men: Dark Phoenix (or simply Dark Phoenix, as it’s being called in the US) has a darker, more mellow typeface that Kinberg explains is emblematic of a new tone for the franchise. “The way I wanted to make the movie was very different than the aesthetic of previous X-Men movies, which I’ve been very involved in and proud of,” he says. “But I wanted it to feel more naturalistic, I wanted it to feel edgier, more handmade, more real. I was very inspired by what James Mangold did with Logan, and I felt like if I could bring a measure of that aesthetic in the film that all of the intergalactic and larger-scale things that happen in the movie would feel more shocking, more realistic, more emotional. They’d be grounded in some reality. And so, all of the movie – from the costumes, to the title card, to the set design, to the way the X-jet looks – all of that stuff is just more analogue in a way. More like, let’s say, the original Star Wars movies. Not that analogue, but the movies I grew up loving had this very gritty, edgy, cool, human feeling to them.”
Filmmaker Simon Kinberg and Jean Grey actress Sophie Turner on the X-Men movie's cosmic elements.
The first of the two new photos seen below depict Jessica Chastain’s villainess opposite Sophie Turner’s Jean Grey. Of Jean’s relationship with Chastain’s character, Turner told IGN, “It’s an interesting one and I don’t want to spill too much about it but basically Jessica’s character is very interested in this power that I’ve kind of acquired and this cosmic force that I have and she kind of wants that force to use it for her own – she has her own intentions with it and she kind of wants to use that. And she nurtures me in a way to make me kind of trust her.”
Kinberg took the opportunity to shoot down a fan theory that Chastain’s character was really a gender-swapped version of Mastermind, the evil mutant telepath who played a key role in Jean Grey’s downfall in the Marvel Comics version of the Dark Phoenix saga. “I will say that Jessica’s character is not Mastermind but there are elements of the way Mastermind manipulates Jean that Jessica’s character does employ,” Kinberg explained. “For me, as you’ll see, that Jessica’s character has elements of a few different characters from the comics.”
Kinberg also said of Chastain’s character: “She is from, let’s say, not our planet, her character. I’ll keep it relatively mysterious but it is a cosmic story in a way that is extraterrestrial, which is something we’ve never done in the X-Men movies before but is obviously something that is integral to the Dark Phoenix story so I felt we couldn’t’ do what we did on X3 and ignore that. We had to actually embrace it. So there’s a fair amount that takes place in space, and the inciting incident that starts to turn Jean, let’s say, dark and fill her with this power that she can’t control happens in space. And then there are forces from space that come to Earth because of that.”
The cosmic element of the story is just one aspect of Dark Phoenix, though. As the new trailer makes clear, Professor Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) made a few moral choices along the way in regards to Jean’s burgeoning powers that will have repercussions among his relationships with both the X-Men and Magneto. Indeed, everyone in the new trailer seem downright furious with Professor X this time around, an observation that got a chuckle out of Sophie Turner.
“You’re very right, everyone seems to hate Charles in this trailer and blame him for everything,” Turner laughed, adding, “One of the main things with Jean throughout this movie is her abandonment. She’s been kind of abandoned by everyone she loves or comes across and Charles is the biggest one of them all. So she feels a lot of betrayal from Charles and she does a lot of things out of spite because of that.”
Kinberg, however, said Xavier’s choices were ultimately for the greater good and that the other characters in the movie don’t have the full story (yet) about what’s happening with Jean Grey. “My hope with the film is that everybody has a valid point of view. So that Charles did certain things to try to help Jean. They may have been misguided, they may have been guided by wanting to control her, they may have been guided by ego, but they were ultimately in his heart to try and help someone who was unstable and over the span of the movie, for a reason that has nothing to do with him, a reason that takes place in space, she becomes more and more unstable,” Kinberg explained.
“And people in the movie start to blame him for that not realizing what’s actually happening to her. So, yes, he did some things in the past that one could see as dubious but he did them for a good purpose, from his point of view, and so as Jean is losing control and doing these sometimes horrific certainly destructive things, for lack of an explanation for many of the characters because they don’t understand this larger cosmic entity, they are looking at Charles as the one responsible for it when in fact the movie sort of operates on two planes. It operates as a very personal, intimate story about Jean and her past and her struggle with her powers, and it also operates as this much larger intergalactic story with aliens involved that Charles is not responsible for.”
Speaking of intergalactic stories, what role if any might the cosmic play in the other X-Men-related movies Kinberg is producing and which are still in development at 20th Century Fox (despite the looming Disney takeover of both the studio and the X-Men franchise in general)?
“I always look to the comics obviously as the touchstones for the movies, and as you know and all fans know there is a lot of cosmic, extraterrestrial stories in the X-Men lore,” Kinberg said. “It’s not something that we’ve explored in the past. It’s something we certainly begin to explore in this movie and if it’s appropriate to whatever the next movies would be then I would absolutely do that. It’s something I think audiences have almost grown accustomed to now given that the Marvel [MCU] movies are so often now intergalactic.”
