X-Men: Dark Phoenix
Per Collider’s source, X-Men: Dark Phoenix’s move is, predictably, due to reshoots. After recent test screenings, the producers felt some additional photography was needed. Here’s the problem: X-Men: Dark Phoenix has a rather high-profile cast. Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Jessica Chastain, Sophie Turner and James McAvoy lead the film. Due to the busy schedules of the cast, scheduling reshoots isn’t easy. The earliest director Simon Kinberg can get the gang back together again is August or September. That wouldn’t leave enough time to finish the effects work to meet the original November release date. As a result, Dark Phoenix got bumped to February 2019. That doesn’t sound particularly dire.
The delay surrounding The New Mutants, however, is a different story.
