No. Quicksilver was an afterthought - that's why he completely breaks the plot of the movie.

I had no idea. I didn't see it because Singer is straight trash.
It was originally going to be Juggernaut, they changed his role to Quicksilver.

His scene was original written for Juggernaut. Then Marvel Studios announced the twins for Age of Ultron. Then Fox wrote him in to spite Marvel because they knew their movie would be out first. They're doing the same thing with the Skrulls. There's no good reason for them to be there in place of the Shi'ar for the Dark Phoenix story.
Yeah it's even worse than the Quicksilver thing because hey, at least you can do something interesting with Magneto meeting Pietro (they didn't). The Skrulls basically have no place in the Dark Phoenix saga. Veranke was an extremely minor character at the time, and there's no doubt Marvel would plan on using her for an eventual Secret Invasion arc.
Neither Deapool OR X-Force are Singerverse. Singerverse is the "THIS-DOESN'T-MAKE-SENSE" X-Men. Deadpool and X-Force certainly will keep making sense.
My guess is future Jean Grey. These Xmen movies like to play with time travel.

Because their competition in that space is on the verge of doing a billi on every outing and they can't figure out how to catch up.

Nope got confirmation from him. She IS playing Lilandra (despite her denials). And she has blonde hair in human form.
So is Lilandra a Skrull in this or are the Shi'ar also in the movie? So confused.
He won't say. Maybe the Human form comment means she's a Skrull now.
Ah yeah that would make sense. Still, so weird. I can't see any reason they'd make this change other than wanting to have Skrulls in a movie before Marvel. Which would be so stupid.
Grrrr... I just can't believe they'd do something like that for no reason. Kinberg seemed like he actually cared and wanted to do this story line correctly. Such an odd choice to just flip it like that.

No, he did not seem like he wanted to do it right at all.

Production is already underway for the upcoming X-Men: Dark Phoenix film, and in the latest issue of Total Film, director Simon Kinberg teased his plans for the film using some unexpected buzzwords.
Speaking with the outlet, Kinberg said that for the film (which he is writing, producing, and directing) to work, he needed to "find a way to ground it so it's not too intergalactic." Kinberg added that he considers the X-Men movies to be "human…and emotional," though it remains to be seen how those qualities would preclude the film (set to introduce aliens to the X-Men films) from being "too intergalactic."
Is that what you want from a Dark Phoenix movie? Something "grounded" and "not too intergalactic"?Speaking with the outlet, Kinberg said that for the film (which he is writing, producing, and directing) to work, he needed to "find a way to ground it so it's not too intergalactic."

I could've sworn I read other interviews with him talking about how they learned from their mistakes with X3 and wanted to go full on Phoenix force and tell the correct story. I'm gonna try to find those blurbs.
EDIT - shit, I can't find what I thought I read... WTF that's weird. I must've been mixing up interviews for different movies or something. I thought he had an interview in Empire or something, but I can't find anything, just the EW stuff.

The funny thing the test screening was on Feb 8th and a friend of mine decided to not go because they thought it was Deadpool 2. Now they're kicking themselves.
I feel like I remember a promo shot that didn't make it in the movie where Pietro is holding a young Wanda.
Might be trippin.
But yo, fuck Fox.
Everyone knows all this shit is getting rebooted anyway, so i'm not even sure if anyone's gonna show up for these X-Men movies besides Deadpool 2.
Like, imagine the non-stop questions they're gonna get asked about Disney & the MCU when they start the press tour for this.

I get them putting it out because they were done shooting and all, but fuck....I do hate it for the actors who have to go out and promo this.
Wonder if ole girl playing Storm is still in heavy denial.
Yup, this was the image:
When first shown, it was all "guess who this is!" and the moment the backlash started, it went to "Oh! that's not Wanda! Wanda is upstairs in her room!" (I shit you not, that was the actual explanation).
And, yes, Juggernaut was still in less than a year before release. Then Marvel announced that they're using the twins, and a week later, Quicksilver is cast for DoFP, with a comment of "oh, QS was always in the script!"
The way FOX and Singer handled all of that was the sleaziest bit of petty bullshit, and it seems like the same thing is happening again.

I knew it.
All because Marvel announced Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch for the Avengers lmfao fucking horrible. And she didn't even make the film.
DONT DO THIS TO ME, FAM.
I think about that video with the orchestrated 90's X-Men theme weekly.
And when the F4 are announced? Oof.
Gonna be wild when Marvel's first X film makes a billion dollars and the F4 make a more than respectable $750M. I'm gonna die laughing.
Wow super lame the Shi'ar won't be in Phoenix saga. I'm sure the movie will be trash anyway but come on! They ARE the Phoenix saga for effs sake
Do it Marvel
They almost did. They had concept art of her in a Panther suit for the movie. I guess with Killmonger, a third Panther in the final battle would be too much.
"greedy" These are big companies, of course they want to cash in on Marvel Studios success. You and me would do the same.
Anyway, fuck them indeed :D
Ha ha, yes, "Miss Maximoff", Ms. Maximoff's third child, the half-sister of Quicksilver...

The only great X-Men movies IMO.
I'm stoked for Deadpool 2, but after that nuke it all and start over for MCU.
LOL that purple panel on the left side just makes it look like Thanos has a giant fucking head
First Class is the only X-Men team movie I even remotely liked.
