The only major character to die in the Dark Phoenix Saga comic is Jean Gray, who sacrifices herself in order to destroy the Dark Phoenix.
The original Dark Phoenix Saga certainly contains some pivotal moments for the X-Men, but not much in the way of franchise-altering twists beyond the titular character herself.
X-Men: Dark Phoenix is being teased as a movie that includes a “massive” twist that will change the franchise forever.
Whatever direction Kinberg takes the story of X-Men: Dark Phoenix, the twist is sure to be on people’s minds ahead of the movie’s release – and possibly make major changes to the story of the original comic.
