“There was a misguided feeling that was an anomaly, that we just got it wrong,” says one Fox insider familiar with those meetings. Insiders tell The Hollywood Reporter that in a series of postmortem meetings on Apocalypse, execs came away thinking that the movie’s failure had been due to an excessive amount of explosions and scale, not due to franchise fatigue generally. But a series of missteps by the studio - some prompted by outside forces - came together to cause the failure.įrom the outset, it seemed that Fox, led by Stacey Snider and Emma Watts, and producers Simon Kinberg and Hutch Parker had learned the wrong lessons from the disappointing Apocalypse. The tentpole was seen as a course corrective after X-Men: Apocalypse, the 2017 critical and fan failure that grossed $200 million less than the much-praised Days of Future Past two years earlier. Here's everything we know about Dark Phoenix, and if you want to learn more about 2019 movies that we're excited to see, check out our everything we know galleries about Godzilla: King of Monsters, Captain Marvel, Shazam, Wonder Woman 84, Star Wars: Episode IX, Toy Story 4, and Game of Thrones Season 8.Dark Phoenix was, in many ways, meant to be the ultimate X-Men movie. So if you can't wait for the next installment in the X-Men franchise and have to take in as much about the movie as possible, we got you covered. While we're still months away from its release, there is a fair amount we know about the next X-Men movie, probably because it was originally supposed to hit theaters during the winter, before it was pushed to late spring.
From the looks of the first trailer, the movie seems a bit more grounded and less focussed on how much they can cram into a single movie.
This is something 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand tried to do and failed at horribly. The latest movie, titled Dark Phoenix, tries once again to tell the tale of Jean Grey turning into the Dark Phoenix. Ignoring the fact that the newest line of X-Men films completely messes with the franchise's timeline, the new series of movies, which debut with First Class, has been a blast, filled with more highs than lows. The X-Men franchise moves forward, and in 2019, the 11th movie in said franchise-including the three Wolverine movies-will hit theaters.
