X-Men: Dark Phoenix Trailer Breakdown - 14 Things You Need To See
10. Cylcops, Storm And Quicksilver Return
20th Century Fox
One of the most disappointing things about Apocalypse was how it misused the new cast.
The likes of Cyclops, Jubilee and Quicksilver all seemed to take a back seat to the cast we'd become accustomed to in First Class and Days of Future Past, and with Lana Condor's Jubilee nowhere to be seen in Dark Phoenix, there's a danger the same thing could happen again.
Fortunately, the new roster has been bolstered by the permanent additions of Storm and Nightcrawler, who only had minor roles in Apocalypse. It remains to be seen how they'll feature of course, but as two key characters in the X-Men canon, Fox will surely be aware of their importance.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
