X-Men: Dark Phoenix - 21 Easter Eggs & References Explained

Before Vuk steals the human body of Jessica Chastain's unnamed character, we see her enjoying a dinner party in her home. Disturbed by her dog barking, she goes to investigate after the dog fails to respond and comes across the aliens.
She also calls the dog's name out a couple of times, revealing it to be called Luna. And that would seem to be a reference to Luna Maximoff from the comics, the daughter of Quicksilver and Crystal - the first child of a mutant and Inhuman - who was named after the moon. No choices are accidental, remember.
Curiously, new mutant actor Kota Eberhardt was said to be playing a character called Luna when her casting was announced, seemingly as misdirection.
