Jennifer Lawrence will die in X-Men Dark Phoenix. Here’s why that isn’t a spoiler

Since she took on the role of Mystique in the X-Men franchise, actor Jennifer Lawrence has become one of the biggest and highest-paid stars on the planet. The second trailer for Dark Phoenix, released on Thursday, and featured a scene in which it is implied that Mystique is killed in an altercation with Sophie Turner’s character, Jean Grey. Even more than that, it was to show that Jean/Dark Phoenix is genuinely a threat to everyone, including the X-Men.” Speaking specifically about Mystique, he continued, “I had a lot of emotions about it. Dark Phoenix is a retelling of the same story that the X-Men series previously told in X-Men: The Last Stand, which was co-written by Kinberg. As I started editing it and you go from being purely creative to being a little more objective after you finish a draft, I was like, ‘Oh yeah, this is something from X3.’ But it’s certainly not meant to be a homage, and it’s very, very different sequence.” Dark Phoenix will probably be the final X-Men film to be released by 20th Century Fox before its merger with Disney is finalised.
