X-Men: Dark Phoenix Trailer 2 Reactions - 4 Ups And 7 Downs

3. Professor Beast

Back around the time when Tom Hardy was making The Dark Knight Rises, he also starred in Lawless as a bootlegging tough. Even playing a hard man character, the fact that he was carrying the huge weight gain he'd achieved for Bane made him a frankly ridiculous spectacle. Particularly as he was wearing a cardigan most of the time to hide it.

Thanks to James McAvoy's filming schedule, he's suffered a similar aesthetic problem for Professor X. Filming for M Night Shyamalan's Glass had already kicked off before Dark Phoenix was done, and given that he had to play The Beast - a hulking fella whose size was supposed to be shocking compared to McAvoy's usual look - he had no choice but to bulk.

The result is the image of a Professor X who has been confined to a wheelchair for some time now but who is clearly an absolute gym monster. Look at his rippling pecs! It's very, very unfortunate and immediately pulls you out of the immersive factor.
