Dark Phoenix Star Sophie Turner Throws Shade at X-Men: The Last Stand

There are several low hanging fruits when it comes to the superhero genre. One of the big ones is X-Men: The Last Stand and the way they botched the Dark Phoenix Saga which is one of the best-known stories in the X-Men canon. Fox decided that they wanted to do do it all over again when they gave the series a soft reboot in with X-Men: First Class and now Dark Phoenix is set to come out this year after several delays. Star Sophie Turner spoke to Rolling Stone and threw some shade at the previous iteration of the Dark Phoenix storyline.

She's optimistic about the film, calling it "Dark Phoenix done right" – a small jab at the notoriously awful X-Men: Last Stand, which butchered the same storyline. "Every other scene in Dark Phoenix is, like, the most intense scene I've ever done," she says.

Turner saying that the scenes in Dark Phoenix are some of the most intense she'd ever shot considering the fact that she cut her teeth in Game of Thrones says a lot. No one is really sure what to make of Dark Phoenix right now but at least it looks like that one is going to get released unlike The New Mutants.

Summary: Jean Grey begins to develop incredible powers that corrupt and turn it into a Dark Phoenix. Now the X-Men will have to decide if the life of a team member is worth more than all the people living in the world.

Dark Phoenix, directed by Simon Kinberg, stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Sophie Turner, Jennifer Lawrence, and Nicholas Hoult. It will be released on June 7, 2019.
