The relationship between Scott Summers/Cyclops and Jean Grey is set to be a huge part of the narrative of X-Men: Dark Phoenix.
This comes as no surprise to fans of Chris Claremont’s classic Dark Phoenix Saga comic, where Cyclops’ persistent attempts to rescue Jean Grey from the grips of her Phoenix powers were central to the sprawling story.
Naturally, the romance between the young Jean (Sophie Turner) and Scott (Tye Sheridan) quickly began to grow in X-Men: Apocalypse, and should continue right into Dark Phoenix.
Even if X-Men: Dark Phoenix makes significant changes to the comic’s central relationship, it’s a promising sign that its importance was not lost Kinberg and a step toward improving upon Apocalypse.
