\"\" Any comic book fan worth their salt will tell you that “The Dark Phoenix Saga” is the seminal X-Men arc in their comics. However, after a horrid adaptation of the story in X-Men: The Last Stand<\/strong>, we thought we’d never get to see the story done right.\u00a0 That might not be the case, as images from\u00a0X-Men: Dark Phoenix\u00a0<\/strong>published in Entertainment Weekly<\/a> give us hope that the magnum opus will get the proper respect in that film.<\/p>\n

The seven images give us our first look at Sophie Turner as Jean Grey as she turns into the Phoenix, Jessica Chastain as Lilandra, and a very telling piece of production art involving a Space Shuttle. Fans familiar the Phoenix’s comic book origins will know that the character is a cosmic entity who took over Jean Grey’s form after an accident in a Space Shuttle in outer space involving solar flares endangered the lives of the X-Men. The Phoenix Force allowed Grey to save her teammates, but eventually corrupted her form and became an unimaginably powerful creature of absolute evil.<\/p>\n

It appears that this part of the origin will be added to the film continuity, which will be a break from both\u00a0X-Men: The Last Stand\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0X-Men: Apocalypse\u00a0<\/strong>which hinted that the “Phoenix” was in Jean Grey all along and just a natural escalation of her powers. In my opinion, this change is a good thing, because the comic book version is a much more interesting, and more tragic, presentation of the origin.<\/p>\n

The images are presented below.\u00a0X-Men: Dark Phoenix\u00a0<\/strong>opens November 2, 2018.<\/p>\n

The images do that X-MEN: DARK PHOENIX might be a break from the film continuity to bring it closer to the comic books. <\/div>\n
