15 Upcoming Comic Book Movie Villains We Can’t Wait To See
9. Dark Phoenix
The Movie: X-Men: Dark Phoenix
Played By: Sophie Turner
Though X-Men: Apocalypse was a little disappointing by the high standards of recent X-Men movies, Fox pushed on with a follow-up with the same cast, promising to develop the hints of Jean Grey's transformation into Dark Phoenix in an adaptation of one of mutantkinds most famous comic book arcs.
In truth, Sophie Turner was a little underused in Apocalypse and the criticisms of her performance were a touch unfair: her accent might have been patchy at times but we know from Game Of Thrones that she's more than capable of great, subtle acting. Hopefully we'll get to see more of that as the darkness takes her over.
The best thing about the rise of the Phoenix is that we've been promised major costs (at least one big death), so it's already assured that she's going to be a big deal when she spreads her wings. And maybe we might just get a better take on her story than we did in X-Men: The Last Stand.
