So cool and so simple. Why couldn't we have had that all along?!!!
'X-Men: Dark Phoenix' Rumor States Jessica Chastain Playing Miss Sinister
The latest X-Men movie suffered a significant delay in order to accommodate for reshoots, as announced this week, but there are still questions surrounding Jessica Chastain's role in the new movie.
A new rumor posited by Jeff Sneider on this week's Meet the Movie Press podcast suggests the actor might be playing the classic villain Mister Sinister (or, rather, Miss Sinister) in X-Men: Dark Phoenix, which would be a major twist that would throw fans off guard.
This might sound implausible given that a story just broke about production problems on The New Mutants, which included the fact that director Josh Boone originally intended to add a stinger that revealed Jon Hamm as Mister Sinister at the end of the film.
But Sneider wrote that exact story for Tracking Board, while positing this Chastain rumor on his podcast on the same day.
Perhaps Fox was hesitant to let Boone execute his own Sinister plans, despite how much they might have lined up with that post-credits scene from X-Men: Apocalypse, because they already had plans for Sinister in X-Men: Dark Phoenix.
There have been rumors swirling around what character Chastain is playing ever since word of her potential involvement first started coming out. Industry writers speculated that she would be playing Lilandra, the leader of the Shi-ar Empire, and that Dark Phoenix would be tackling a cosmic angle in line with the comics storyline it was adapting.
And then the word came out that she will be playing Queen Veranke of the Skrull Empire, which doesn't contradict the cosmic angle previously teased. The Skrulls are also a race of characters that 20th Century Fox can use, as well as Marvel Studios, given their appearance in Fantastic Four. Those aliens are set to appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as part of Captain Marvel, which premieres next year.
But the Skulls have never had a significant role in popular X-Men stories, much less the "Dark Phoenix Saga," so some people doubted the validity of those rumors. It's possible that those reports could have been put forth by Fox in order to smokescreen their true intentions of including one of the most popular X-Villains who has yet to appear on the films.
Chastain playing Miss Sinister also makes sense given the post-credits scene for Apocalypse, on which Simon Kinberg was heavily involved. Instead of setting up Logan, perhaps this was always the plan.
Either way, there's no reason that Chastain and Hamm cannot play different versions of the character, especially given the comic book character's penchant to clone themselves and create different versions. Then again, that would likely be pretty confusing for audiences.
We'll see if this rumor plays out as we get closer to the debut of X-Men: Dark Phoenix, which premieres in theaters on February 14, 2019.

You also have X-Men: Dark Phoenix coming out. How would you describe the tone of that, as that’s expected to be something pretty different than what we’ve seen before?
SHERIDAN: I think so. Everyone was on the same page with the idea that we were approaching it as much more of a grounded drama versus a superhero movie. Something that’s getting old with those universes and all the Marvel movies is that they all look the same and they’re all doing the same thing. We really wanted to shake it up, in that sense, and take a different approach to this. Simon Kinberg, who wrote the past three X-Men, directed Dark Phoenix, and I’m super, super excited about it. I think it will turn out well and that it will be a different X-Men than we’ve ever seen before, so that’s exciting.
Some of the best stories come from having a source in the right place at the right time with no real reason to be there. Such as Brent Andrew who found himself at attending a college speaking engagement with some high-level Fox production crew members, and.. they said things to a small crowd of 50 students that maybe they might not have done in other circumstances. And posting what he had discovered on his site Comic Genre.
This includes the information that X-Men: Dark Phoenix will be the last proper Fox Marvel movie, presumably the last in that specific continuity. And that the regular X-Men crew will be off the projects as everything will move to Disney for future chapters.
Confirming that the X-Men being integrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a done deal, and merely awaiting the approval of the merger.
And that Marvel Studio head Kevin Feige is “hoovering up” all of the Fox-Marvel characters, and is already planning for them all to go into Phase 4. This includes the X-Men, Deadpool, and Fantastic Four.
He also learned that all manner of issues regarding Fox are very much up in the air about their future with the company and what will happen, again pending the merger’s approval in mid-2019. Projects are not so much being put on hold, but that the crew going forward on franchises is undecided, as Disney may take over.
Such as folks on the production side working on the upcoming Avatar sequels and who read the next two scripts, getting no more from Cameron in case they are replaced by Disney. Oh also, that Cameron is using up to 16 motion capture cameras simultaneously for any given scene in those films, whereas the average CGI-heavy film typically gets away with one at a time.
He also saw (brief) test footage from Battle Angel Alita, and confirmed a stunningly photo-realistic look including bug anime eyes, but all characters being created digitally from whole cloth, as opposed to manipulating the appearance of on-screen actors. No“real actors, Big Eyes added after” effects here… that many presumed from this trailer.
And as for Dark Phoenix, the production team are digitally recreating sets that were scrapped after filming – could this mean reshoots rumours are confirmed?
This shyt is exactly why I never wanted to see Sinister in these fukked up X-Movies. These dudes fukked up Wolverine and Sabertooth rivaly and you think they gonna get something as complex as Sinister right? I'm done...'X-Men: Dark Phoenix' Rumor States Jessica Chastain Playing Miss Sinister
