Had the chance to speak with a friend far higher on the food chain than me at Fox over the weekend, and they clarified what they had told me about a couple weeks back regarding the upcoming X-Films.
According to my friend New Mutants & Dark Phoenix are both doa. Neither will see theatrical release. They have daily access to some Fox execs, I trust this person and it fits with everything else I've been hearing, so I'm confident in saying that both movies are effectively cancelled. She said Disney wants a clean slate & that the Mouse has told the Fox to shelve all planned releases. They said its a possibility that these two movies could see release on some streaming/television/Bluray platform years from now, but only after Disney has fully developed it's own X-Men Universe. Apparently the X-Force movie is still on the table, but it will likely be released under a title like "Deadpool 3: X-Force" or something along those lines rather than simply X-Force.
I expect an announcement to that effect to come sometime soon after the Fox/Disney deal is made "official" in a just a few days I believe.
and they are canceled, from what little I know, these films are not in the can yet...would they even be finished or close enough to finish to release them to streaming?

I don't believe this would be considered spoilers, correct me if I'm wrong. The Boone New Mutants cut is essentially "finished", and only needs minimal polishing. The version of Dark Phoenix I saw still needed a good bit of work from a visual standpoint. But that was months ago, & I believe they've been working on it since then, so I'm inclined to think there's probably a good chance that a fairly complete cut of Dark Phoenix exists, but I could be wrong.
No disrespect intended, but an actor who hasn't had anything to do with production in months is not a very reliable source. Of course she's going to say positive things about the film, would you ever expect anything else?
She's really not in a position to say anything negative about the movie or make any official announcements regarding it being shelved. If you want an idea of how well things are going for the film, the silence of Boone/Kinberg/Fox should tell you everything you need to know.

Sourcing wild fan speculation/fantasies/wish-lists via random users needs to stop..so many ****ing problems with all this stuff.. Fox isn't going to scrap DARK PHOENIX as much as I wish they would.. they would get sued for blowing two hundred million dollars

Boone is a comic book and horror super-fan.. yeah the whole thing is pure fantasy.. people also tried to make this about him leaving IG.. he left Twitter last year and nobody noticed it..lol
Guys... no jokes my very good friend sister works for FOX said the reshoots for this and DP will last 2 years and everyone will be recast...We will hear this announcement shortly..

I'd love to believe you, but I don't see any posts from you that correctly predicted future events. As slugzilla did with the extended New Mutants delay.
Netflix? My sources say both films are going straight to Dvd/blu ray... To be released next month along with the Snyder cut....An announcement is coming soon.
