No more J-Law as Mystique

To me, my board!
Mutants In Space
As we already know, X-Men: Dark Phoenix will send the team into space for the first time, and this concept art depicts the moment their ship is hit with a solar flare which ignites the Phoenix Force within Jean Grey.
If you look closely, you can see Jean floating among the debris.
Jessica Chastain's Mysterious Baddie
Though she hasn't been named yet, it's now all-but confirmed that Jessica Chastain will be playing The Skrull Queen (or at least, a variation on her), and the character is described as "Quiet but brutal."
"Simon and I were talking about the character and I said, 'I keep thinking of the vet who tells you you need to put your dog down,'" says the Molly's Game actress of her inspiration. "There’s something very clinical about it."
Mystique Makeover
Jennifer Lawrence returns as Mystique, and she's sporting a slightly different appearance this time around, along with a new maternal attitude.
"She’s grown up a lot," says Lawrence. "She’s more maternal which surprised me. She starts to get more protective of the [school] children and Charles wants to push them to prove to the world that mutants can be good for humanity and I just see them as small children."
Sophie Turner As Jean
Sophie Turner says that she studied multiple personality disorder and schizophrenia in order to better prepare to portray both sides of Jean's personality once the Phoenix manifests itself.
"So many scenes I have to go from broken-down Jean — that’s when she's most subsceptible to Phoenix infiltrating her — to this confident, arrogant, judgmental character within milliseconds."
Who Is In The Coffin?
Here's that potentially spoiler-y pic we were talking about. There's always a chance that it's not a major character, or course, but that seems unlikely given what we already know about the plot.
Who might our heroes be mourning here? Well, pictured are Charles (James McAvoy), Nightcrawler (Kodi Smit-McPhee), Cyclops (Tye Sheridan) and Storm (Alexandra Shipp), so that does narrow it down some!
A BTS Look At Simon Kinberg And Michael Fassbender
Here we have a behind-the-scenes snap featuring director Simon Kinberg and star Michael Fassbender (Magneto).
This will mark Kinberg's first time behind the camera, and he says it was Jennifer Lawrence that ultimately convinced him to give it a go! "I give her credit or blame depending on how it goes," he jokes.

Mystique will save the day....you heard it first

Set in 1992, about 10 years after the events of last year’s X-Men: Apocalypse, Dark Phoenix opens with the X-Men, including Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence), Beast (Nicholas Hoult), Storm (Alexandra Shipp), Nightcrawler (Kodi Smit-McPhee), and Quicksilver (Evan Peters), in a new, unexpected role: national heroes. Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) even lands on the cover of Time magazine. But his growing ego puts the team at risk.
“Pride is starting to get the better of him, and he is pushing the X-Men to more extreme missions,” Kinberg says. After they’re dispatched to space for a rescue mission, a solar flare hits the X-Jet and the surge of energy ignites a malevolent, power-hungry new force within Jean (Game of Thrones’ Sophie Turner)— the Phoenix.
Give this bullshyt back to marvel. That is a dumbass storyline like the rest of this series.

If they really made Chastain’s character a Skrull.
