Kota Eberhardt and Scott Shepherd have reportedly joined the cast of X-Men: Dark Phoenix.
Taking a second crack at adapting Chris Claremont’s ‘The Dark Phoenix Saga’, Simon Kinberg – who co-wrote 2006’s X-Men: The Last Stand with Zak Penn – penned the X-Men: Dark Phoenix script and is making his directorial debut.
The character first appeared in X-Men #5 (May, 1964) and on-screen in X-Men: The Last Stand — played by Adrian Hough.
Even though principal photography began in late-June, Twentieth Century Fox keeps adding actors to the next installment in the X-Men film franchise.
