X-Men: Dark Phoenix
In the hebdomad following the proclamation of the long - tantalise and much - campaigned - for Snyder Cut of 2017’sJustice Leaguefilm , Simon Kinberg , the writer / director of 2019’sDark Phoenix , told fans not to gestate a similar revise of his moving-picture show . Dark Phoenix , which was the 12th pic in Fox’sX - Mencinematic universe , was regarded as a huge vital and commercial bankruptcy upon its much - delayed tone ending last spring , grossingonly about $ 65 millionat the domestic box office against a account $ 200 million budget . It also received a dismal 23 percent rating from Rotten Tomatoes .
But like 2017’sJustice League , which was originally helmed by Zack Snyder and then complete by Joss Whedon ( after Snyder left the task due to a family catastrophe ) , there have been some rumors the version ofDark Phoenixthat reached the CRT screen might not have been exactly what its director had originally envisioned for the undertaking . The recentsuccess of rooter outcrysecuring a release ofJustice League ’s Snyder Cut has needs led buff to inquire which original vision of a seemingly failed project they might be able-bodied to deliver next .

Speaking toIGN , Kinberg said that although his ideas for the film did change quite a bit during its creation ( admit having its storycondensed from two films to one),“the movie they released was ultimately my vision for the motion picture . “While Kinberg did affirm that some chronological sequence were leave on the cut elbow room base ( including a different close ) , those scene were never finished , so they could n’t only just be added back in . Kinberg went on to say that trying to make anything resemble a " Kinberg Cut " would affect reshoots and millions of dollars in raw billet yield work for sound and visual effects that were never created .
As a old hand film writer and producer , Kinberg had been affect in one agency or another with nearly all of Fox ’s 10 - Men films over the last decennary , as well as bring forth 2015’sThe Martian , which received seven Oscar nominations . ButDark Phoenixwas Kinberg ’s feature directorial debut , and he find himself trying to shepherd the film throughFox ’s purchase by Disney . That sent the film into several delays , some accusation of a deficiency of marketing effort , and a sight - unobserved stigma smother the film ’s quality .
But regardless of any blame game debate about where the film ’s many problems emanated from ( or if those problems even injure the plastic film , which surely has its fans ) , it ’s refreshing to hear Kinberg own the on - projection screen product , and to narrate fans that , for well or worse , that ’s already the film he render to make . So whether viewers likedDark Phoenixor not , do n’t expect any kind of longer director ’s cut to be unloosen .
