Then earlier this week, along with the confirmation that Simon Kinberg will direct X-Men: Dark Phoenix, it was reported that Jessica Chastain was in talks to join the movie as Lilandra, Empress of the Shi’ar Empire.
X-Men: Dark Phoenix, the eighth installment of the main X-Men series and 13th in the overall franchise, sounds like it could potentially be the biggest X-Men movie yet.
Last week, it was rumored that aliens might appear, which would be appropriate given the extraterrestrial presence in the original Dark Phoenix Saga.
Now some casting information has come out that could potentially mean some intriguing fresh faces being brought in.
