The X-Men universe is looking to expand its horizons next year with three films, and it appears X-Men: Dark Phoenix will indeed push the franchise into space with the arrival of the Shi’ar Empire.
One of the big pieces to the Phoenix Saga in the comics is the Shi’ar Empire, and some new audition tapes could point to their inclusion in the movie.
Going cosmic with the X-Men is much more than a possibility at this point and appears to be actually happening.
His tapes were labeled as Teen Spirit – the actual working title for Dark Phoenix – where he auditioned for the role of Hoover.
