FOX RESETS THE NEXT X-FILMS

Two Fox/Marvel Projects Get Pushed Back For Re-Shoots

20th Century Fox has delayed two of their upcoming X-Men films. X-Men: Dark Phoenix will move from November to early February 2019 and The New Mutants will now open August 2019. Both delays are due to reshoots. After Dark Phoenix was test screened the decision was made to add story. But since most of the cast members had scheduling conflicts the earliest availability for everyone to return was August or September and there was no way for the film to make the original release date so Fox pushed it. Simon Kinberg had actually brought the film in under budget and so he has been given an extra $10 million to tweak the film. He wasn’t thrilled with the original release date anyway and when Black Panther was such a hit coming out President’s Day weekend Fox made the move. And we now have a better idea who Jessica Chastain will be playing in the film. First reports had her playing Lilandra, the Shi’ar Empress then maybe the Skrull Queen but now signs have her playing Miss Sinister. In the case of New Mutants director Josh Boone turned in a cut of the film that he was happy with but Fox didn’t think the film was scary enough. Fox wanted something like It and so the reshoots will end up with about 50% of the film being redone and the addition of at least one or two new characters. Boone isn’t happy about the changes so lets see how this all shakes out. There was a rumor that Mad Men’s Jon Hamm was going to show up at the end of New Mutants as Mister Sinister but with the changes the stinger will feature a different villain played by Antonio Banderas.
