Jennifer Lawrence’s character to die in ‘X-Men Dark Phoenix’

Author: Daily Times Monitor

The second trailer for Dark Phoenix, released on Thursday, and featured a scene in which it is implied that Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) is killed in an altercation with Sophie Turner’s character, Jean Grey. Now, director Simon Kinberg has admitted that the decision was a calculated one.

“Well, the thought process behind that was to primarily show that this is a movie that is unlike other X-Men movies,” he told Entertainment Weekly. “It’s a movie where shocking things happen, where intense, dramatic things happen. People don’t just fall off buildings and dust themselves off and walk away. There’s a reality to this movie and a consequence to this movie. Even more than that, it was to show that Jean/Dark Phoenix is genuinely a threat to everyone, including the X-Men.”
