That being said, this is still an X-Men movie, and given Kinberg’s lack of experience, maybe Fox would be wiser to find someone with an established directorial career to oversee the blockbuster and provide a fresh perspective.
The man has more than a decade of experience in the world of X-Men, and he’s surely he’s had opportunities to study Bryan Singer at work in the director’s chair.
Having a person who’s never directed before being tapped to helm a major blockbuster is always a questionable decision.
Besides, if they are indeed going the Dark Phoenix 2.0 route, then it’ll still be his script they’re working with.
