A new report indicates X-Men: Dark Phoenix will continue the trend of the previous films and take place in the early ’90s.
And while the original trilogy may never get a fourth film, the new one will see X-Men: Dark Phoenix hits theaters next year.
If Dark Phoenix does end up being set in 1991, that means the film will only be 9 years from catching up to the original movie.
There’s no telling what the future holds for the franchise, but it could be fascinating to see a meta update on the first film following X-Men: Dark Phoenix.
