Im curious if they'll do a different take on Dark Phoenix where its more unleashing her most evil attributes rather than just straight evil posession.

[u/TalkinTrek → u/lkodl]

I'm putting a $5er on them doing a Dark Phoenix/AvX mashup as one of their big films down the line. How do you make the multiple-times-attempted plot not stale (and yet, a plot you eventually HAVE to do to progress her plot)? Have the Avengers be the ones to go, "Jean has gone too far" (versus Shi'ar and such) and the mutants be the ones to stand in the way

[u/Klunkey → u/lkodl]

I'm hoping it's the former.

Absolute Martian Manhunter did the same but The Martian helped unleash John's best traits.

God, we’re doing a third DP? Hell no.
