First Look:

Quote:

The Molly's Game star plays an otherwordly shapeshifter who manipulates Phoenix for her own agenda. Chastain's villain is quiet but brutal. "Simon and I were talking about the character and I said, 'I keep thinking of the vet who tells you you need to put your dog down,'" says the actress of her inspiration. "There’s something very clinical about it."

"In DARK PHOENIX, the X-MEN face their most formidable and powerful foe: one of their own, Jean Grey. During a rescue mission in space, Jean is nearly killed when she is hit by a mysterious cosmic force. Once she returns home, this force not only makes her infinitely more powerful, but far more unstable. Wrestling with this entity inside her, Jean unleashes her powers in ways she can neither comprehend nor contain. With Jean spiraling out of control, and hurting the ones she loves most, she begins to unravel the very fabric that holds the X-Men together. Now, with this family falling apart, they must find a way to unite -- not only to save Jean’s soul, but to save our very planet from aliens who wish to weaponize this force and rule the galaxy."

So freaking excited!

My friend texted me to let me know and since he's a big X-Men fan I've already asked him to tell me everything about her character.

ina_am · 09-08-2017, 05:11 PM

who is she playing?

Musidora · 09-08-2017, 09:16 PM

Yeah, I saw her comment on an IG post about that, I wonder when we'll know for sure who she's playing or if it is a ~spoilery character. Changed the title.

Hopefully soon

Thanks for editing, Ana.

@Ina, who knows when we're going to find out which character she's playing since they've managed to keep the production under wraps.

Jessica wrapped filming yesterday.
