Seems like we are once again being short shrifted when it comes to this story. Writer/Director Simon Kinberg wanted to do Phoenix right and considered doing a trilogy but decided to do a 2-parter instead, UNFORTUNATELY, during filming is when the Disney buyout of Fox was announced and changes were made. Though we're not getting 2 parts, the film is entirely Jean/Phoenix focused and supposed to be a darker more emotional story. The movie looks fantastic and I'm hoping the story delivers and honestly can't wait to see this.
Yep, a story that was dismantled because of studio execs and cut down into a 13 minute b-story of a film is exactly how this film is gonna be especially since we get to go to space and see Phoenix's origin and evolution over the entirety of a singular focused 125 minute film. Yep, looks like a rehash to me⸮
