11 Images That Will Restore Your Faith In Upcoming Movies
8. X-Men: Dark Phoenix
Why We're Worried: There are a number of reasons to approach the new core X-Men movie with a degree of trepidation. For starters, Apocalypse was woefully generic and Sophie Turner's performance as Jean Grey was thoroughly risible, all the more troubling considering that she's the focal figure in the Dark Phoenix Saga.
Plus, franchise writer Simon Kinberg makes his directorial debut with the film, and when you're talking about trusting a first-time filmmaker with a blockbuster budget, that's always a huge risk.
Why This Image Rocks: Jessica Chastain is probably going to be this film's secret weapon. She's arguably the best and hardest-working actress in the business today, routinely elevating just about everything she touches - except for Huntsman: Winter's War - so there's little reason to doubt Chastain's casting as the creepy Shi'ar Empress Lilandra.
She certainly looks the part, and will hopefully serve as a counter-balance to Turner's probably-wonky performance as Jean Grey.
