Kinberg made his directorial debut with the last movie in the franchise, Dark Phoenix.
“Dark Phoenix was a hard movie because when I wrote it, it was meant to be a two-part movie.
Simon Kinberg is a filmmaker who has been attached to the live-action X-Men films as a writer ever since X-Men: The Last Stand.
The tone of the MCU is a lot different from the tone set by the much older X-Men movie franchise, but Kinberg spoke about how much he appreciated the filmmaking approach of the Marvel Cinematic Universe despite the differences.
