Dark Phoenix X-Men: Dark Phoenix News and Speculation Thread - - - - - - Part 15

[TheVileOne]

Anyone think Disney didn't want this film coming out before Captain Marvel and Avengers 4?

 

[Davidstorm]

Were they supposed to do something at NYCC? Wonder if that will still happen.

yes, even was announced by the official twitter of the event
that the fox would display exclusive scenes from #darkphoenix and alitta
which leaves this postponement even more meaningless.

Disney doesn't want this film coming out period.

Because its that bad?

 

[TheVileOne]

Disney doesn't want this film coming out period.

I mean, I don't know if that's the case, but your point definitely wouldn't surprise me.

 

[Zarex]

As I said in the Keep Hope Alive thread, isn't June 7 just very shortly after Infinity War? Why would Disney allow DP to be released then?

Won't Disney fully own Fox by June? Why release it at all? And if they're going to release it in theatres, why not dump it sometime in August? Isn't Spider-Man only a month after DP's release date?

Maybe the trailer was simply released to counter the leaked version that came out days ago, but they never intended to actually show it now. But it's odd that, just after showing it, the release date is pushed back.

I pretty sure it will still get released in theaters. Unlike New Mutants, this series has a base of supporters and some big name stars, and according to the Deadline article the trailer was well received in China. It will have zero impact on Avengers 4, and It doesn't appear as though this will impact any future MCU plans - if there were any Skrull appearances, they have been Skrubbed. Writer/Director/Producer Kinberg will get his finale and then we can all move on............and get ready for Gambit: The Movie in 2020!

 

[TheVileOne]

It is written and directed by the writer and producer of Fant4stic.

Weird seeing this 2 days after the trailer. At least in some people the trailer left a good impression, but this news kind of kill any of the hype that trailer could've brought.

this ends and kills any hype
outside that is a liar trailer, there has to launch and February 14
Are they going to erase the trailer?

 

[TheVileOne]

A while back was that February was to give it the same release date as Deadpool and Black Panther. What's the excuse now?

To gain goodwill from Avengers 4

I don't think so. Since many people think they're calling the shots behind the scenes, were they only able to call shots as of this week? Wouldn't they have been able to stop things a lot earlier? Surely they would've been able to see a cut of the film and decided to scrap it or not, right?

Then why did it get delayed again? When the whole point was "We're going to release it same time as Black Panther and Deadpool!

It's so stupid. I'm sure they knew or at least had an idea that they were shifting these dates for some time now, why let the promo get started?

How? Apocalypse didn't get goodwill from Civil War.

Why did Alita get delayed? That's a $200m film too. Or does all of this revolve around Dark Phoenix?

 

[Silver Surfer]

Only thing that makes sense is that they were made to push it to June by Disney, via back channeling.

 

[Limonade]

Wow... I thought I was going to be wrong about this film. But Fox just proved me right.

Place this film next to Roger Corman's Fantastic Four in the Disney vault, now.

Guess we're all going to be waiting for the MCU X-Men.

 

[psylockolussus]

Well cannot wait to watch Alita now in Valentines

That was a weird decision. Hard to understand what's going on.

I wasn't hyped about the movie, but I want this franchise to be over as soon as possible, so I certainly don't like this news.

The Phoenix Saga is too valuable for Disney to have someone else try a second attempt and with such mixed results... I wouldn't blame them.

A lot of people do and that's fine, which is why it doesn't make sense to me that it just wouldn't be outright canned/shelved if Disney were indeed calling the shots like many seem to think.

 

[psylockolussus]

Its getting delayed because Disney is eventually gonna debut it online through Disney Play where you can watch films on demand. Anytime anywhere!

If Feige is overseeing the transition of Marvel properties from Fox to Disney... I would assume he would be able to take a look at the current working production of the film. If he didn't like it... he could have put his foot down.

 

[Silver Surfer]

Exactly, Fiege prolly has big plans for his X-Men, why would he compromise them by having this monstrosity get released and poison the brand.
