'Dark Phoenix' Ending Was Completely Altered Because It Copied Another Superhero Movie

James McAvoy, one of the stars of Dark Phoenix, revealed that the movie’s ending was totally rewritten and was reshot after wrapping when the producers discovered the film’s ending was very similar to another superhero movie.

“The end changed a hell of a lot,” James told Yahoo Movies UK about doing extensive reshoots for the film. “The finale had to change. There was a lot of overlap and parallels with another superhero movie that came out… a while ago. And we had no idea that we were…”

His co-star Michael Fassbender then jumped in and said, “They had spies on set and [they] basically stole our idea.”

James didn’t mention which movie Dark Phoenix accidentally copied, but Yahoo did note that Dark Phoenix originally wrapped in October of 2017. Thus, the only superhero movies that were released between then and now with time for reshoots include Thor: Ragnarok, Justice League, Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, Deadpool 2, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Venom, and Aquaman. This year, Captain Marvel, Shazam!, and Avengers: Endgame were all released in the past few months.

James recently spoke out about why much of the cast decided to return to the X-Men franchise.

“I think a combination of things. We all enjoy playing these characters — I know I do. I’ve always enjoyed being in these X-Men films. I love this company of actors. And the crew,” James explained to Business Mirror.

He continued, “There’s a massive extended family that goes back nearly 10 years that you feel very loyal to. And it’s also the character that I feel loyal to, getting to take Charles forward and do something else with him as well, it just feels right. So that’s what brought me back.”

Dark Phoenix hits theaters on June 7th.

FYI: James is wearing Ray-Ban sunglasses.

Jessica Chastain Dishes On Which Celeb Inspired Her Alien Character's Look in 'Dark Phoenix'

Sophie Turner and Jessica Chastain pose together for a few pics at the X-Men: Dark Phoenix fan event held at Picturehouse Central on Wednesday afternoon (May 22) in London.

The two stars were joined by Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy for the exclusive event.

While chatting with Empire Magazine, Jessica opened up about the inspiration behind her character’s look for the film – Tilda Swinton.

“We tested a bunch of different looks,” she shared. “At first, there was this idea that she would be ethereal … like an angel. And open. I’m not wearing makeup, which opens the face, opens my eyes. You fall into it in a trusting way. She has to look otherworldly, yet human. Which why the person I thought about is Tilda Swinton.”

Dark Phoenix hits theaters on June 7th.

FYI: Sophie wore a Louis Vuitton top.

Check out the trailer for HBO’s new fantasy series His Dark Materials!

The network released the teaser for its adaptation of Philip Pullman’s trilogy book series (“The Golden Compass,” “The Subtle Knife,” and “The Amber Spyglass”) on Friday (May 17), just as Game of Thrones is coming to an end.

His Dark Materials, co-produced by the BBC, is directed by Tom Hooper and stars Logan’s Dafne Keen as Lyra, Ruth Wilson as Marisa Coulter, James McAvoy as Lord Asriel, and Lin-Manuel Miranda as Lee Scoresby.

The first season follows “Lyra, a seemingly ordinary but brave young woman from another world. Her search for a kidnapped friend uncovers a sinister plot involving stolen children, and becomes a quest to understand a mysterious phenomenon called Dust. As she journeys through the worlds, including our own, Lyra meets Will, a determined and courageous boy. Together, they encounter extraordinary beings and dangerous secrets, with the fate of both the living — and the dead — in their hands.”

His Dark Materials will premiere later this year on HBO. Watch the trailer!
