Even Simon Kinberg, the writer, director, and producer, made a rare Hollywood apology for the film’s poor results. There were delays, international test screenings, and reshoots that moved its release from November 2018 to February 2019 to June 2019.
Dark Phoenix was a critical and commercial failure, being pulled from 1667 theaters three weeks after its June 7 North American debut. This summer, Fox released the final film in this incarnation of the franchise: Dark Phoenix, exploring yet again, as in 2006’s X-Men: The Last Stand, the corruption of the X-Men's original female member and later matriarch, Jean Grey, this time portrayed as a younger woman, as she was in the original comics arc co-created by Chris Claremont and John Byrne. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has dominated superhero pop culture for a decade, but it was the 2000 release of 20th Century Fox’s X-Men that is now widely regarded as the progenitor of the modern genre in film.
