X-Men: Dark Phoenix Trivia –
- Sophie Turner was more than well prepared for the role of Dark Phoenix, having studied mental illnesses to bring authenticity to her character.
- This movie has a bunch of firsts – it is the first X-Men film to not speak of or show Logan or Wolverine played by Hugh Jackman. Jackman has already retired from the role which he has famously played since X-Men (2000). Although he was seen in Deadpool 2 (2018), it was only through reused stock footage from X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009).
- Jessica Chastain‘s first Marvel film, as in the past she had rejected roles of Maya Hansen in Iron Man 3 (2013) and Hope Van Dyne in Ant-Man (2015).
- This is the first film directed by screenwriter Simon Kinberg.
- Jennifer Lawrence did not want to play Mystique anymore, but changed her mind as she did not want her character to get the “Chuck Cunningham Syndrome Treatment”.
- Simon Kinberg describes Genosha as Magneto’s Israel: “It’s a land built for mutants, a homeland where they can be safe and self-sufficient.” This is a nod to Magneto’s Jewish heritage.
- Hans Zimmer had already decided to retire from composing soundtracks for superhero movies after working on Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, as he had already worked on a plethora of them including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Spider-Man. But the director Simon Kinberg got him to create the score for this film. Now he has also signed on to co-compose Wonder Woman 1984.
- The film is set in 1992, that was the same year the X-Men comics were relaunched with new costume designs and a new cartoon show known as X-Men: The Animated Series.
