On June 6, 2019, the movie X-Men: The Dark Phoenix starts at the box office, which will be the last part of the famous mutant adventure franchise. The picture was shot on the cult comic "The Dark Phoenix Saga". The director of the film was Simon Kinberg, and the producer was Brian Singer. Fans and fans of the mutant adventures are eagerly awaiting the upcoming premiere of X-Men: The Dark Phoenix.
Many critics believe that the film can be both very successful and completely disastrous. Why can this happen?
The first directorial work of Simon Kinberg
The film will be the debut directorial work of Simon Kinberg. He also performed as a screenwriter for three previous films and produced X-Men: First Class. Simon participated in the work on the popular TV series Gifted and Legion. Therefore, we should not say that he is completely new to filming films about mutants. Simon knows the characters of all the characters very well and, most likely, will not radically change them in the new film.
But the fact that he first became the director of a picture can have both its pluses and minuses. And the project itself, in order to be successful, can be just as likely to fail if the director's work does not satisfy fans and film critics.
Dark Phoenix Producer - Scandalous Brian Singer
The producer of the picture was Brian Singer. He has been working with the universe of mutants for a long time, he knows all the nuances of producing such films very well. He has already counted four paintings from the X-Men series, so he will be invaluable anyway in helping create the Dark Phoenix.
Why did Singer himself not become the director of The Dark Phoenix, but give the reins to Kinberg? Most likely, this is due to the latest scandals that arose around the person of Brian. First, Singer was accused of harassment, so his reputation is already a little spoiled. Secondly, the story of the filming of "Bohemian Rhapsody", which Singer began to shoot, and then was suspended from work due to absenteeism and conflict with Rami Malek, can also play an important role in the assessment of the "Dark Phoenix" by critics and American viewers. And this assessment may well turn out to be not very positive.
