Probably a blessing in disguise for Saoirse Ronan to not get in on this franchise in its dying days.To think Fox hired Sophie Turner because of her higher social media follower number. That won't translate to the BO at all.
It just might be worse than X3. It's crazy to think.
Still, Fox has two of the best films in the genre and one of the only three "masterpiece films" in all of comic book cinema, so there you go. They did alright.
People here talk like they churned out nothing but pure shit and it's pretty fucking baffling.
DoFP opened to 90.8M and Apocalypse opened to 65.8M. Not surprising that this would take another big hit.
It was bad, but X3 was worse. There were at least some good parts of Apocalypse(well... one or two), X3 was trash from start to finish.Apocalypse was dismal. One of my least favorite comic movies in a long time and arguably worse than X3.
They never made a good X-Men movie, and by that I mean a movie that did justice to the source material. Logan is a Wolverine movie. I'm talking about an ensemble movie about the actual X-Men.
Deadpool though. Granted they had to be forced into doing that.Lol at best, Logan is Fox's sole accomplishment worth writing home about.
They had the property 20 years, and that's all they got to their name?
It was a shit run, FOH.
You hate to see it.
Deadpool though. Granted they had to be forced into doing that.
On this same note, originally the role of Storm was between Zendaya (now MJ in the MCU Spiderman films) and Alexandra Shipp (the current Fox Storm). At the time i'm sure Zendaya was disappointed but I bet she's not anymore.Probably a blessing in disguise for Saoirse Ronan to not get in on this franchise in its dying days.
Even scarier, the Fox-Marvel fans are so delusional they think if it makes money Marvel won't reboot the franchise.
DoFP is an excellent film, as much as it pains me to say such a thing about a Bryan Singer work.
Just because it isn't a faithful translation of the comic panels doesn't mean there hasn't been a good X-Men film.
People literally want an MCU envisioned X-Men film, and they forget that the first couple X-Men and Spider-man films pioneered this shit without needing to be 1:1 adaptations.
People wanted the 90's era cartoon X-Men in a live action film and that shit just wasn't ready for prime time. I appreciate what Singer (*shudder*) was going for with a more grounded, "what if" scenario with strong thematic relevance. It worked for several of these films and there have been more hits than misses, in my view.

I love a good reverse Eric Stoltz/Micheal J Fox storyOn this same note, originally the role of Storm was between Zendaya (now MJ in the MCU Spiderman films) and Alexandra Shipp (the current Fox Storm). At the time i'm sure Zendaya was disappointed but I bet she's not anymore.
Contractual obligations probably prevent that.They should really have just put it straight on their streaming service rather than waste time and money on a theatrical run.
Wow. Did not know that.I doubt Zendaya would've accepted the role of Storm.
It wouldn't have even been the first time she's declined to take a role she feels should go to a darker skinned actress.

Yeah, she is super selfware in a way that is rare in hollywood and takes charge of her career.
Apparently, she didn't take the role because it wasn't a "big enough" role.
Fox was interested in casting Zendaya for their young Storm.
Ultimately, it came down to Zendaya feeling like the role wasn't big enough and passed. Audiences gave mixed reviews about Alexandra Shipp, who was ultimately cast in the role. While it was nice to see the '80s punk version of Storm, complete with mohawk, come to life on the screen, the character wasn't given much to do or say, leaving viewers underwhelmed.
No. I didn't say that. But Fox was surely betting on her social media presence to make people come out and see the movie.Do you really think hiring whoever else they were going to hire would have made this series better or more profitable ?
Disney did no such thingI stopped paying attention to this series ages ago. Disney sending all the franchise to die for the inevitable reboot won't help.
Yeah, people forget Dark Pheonix and New Mutants were originally suppose to come out last year. They were way fucked before the deal even became a thing
With how much people were speculating New Mutants to go straight to Hulu or something, seems Disney is doing the opposite. Although that may have been out of their hands due to contracts and whatnot.Yeah, people forget Dark Pheonix and New Mutants were originally suppose to come out last year.

Beware the ides of May
Of all the things that this movie has going against it, I am in awe that "Dark Phoenix" has the same leather overcoat as X3

As far as I'm concerned, it was.I would say I feel sorry for Fox going out so pathetically, but they dug this grave themselves by giving Kinberg total control over the X-Franchise.
It would've been way better if Deadpool 2 was the end of the Fox X-Men universe.
Definitely not (unless someone resented the Fox universe in its entirety, then wanting that would make more sense to me).
No, it can't be.
And even if it was (it can't), who cares? None of it matters.
