Whether we wanted it or not, “Dark Phoenix” is the end of the main “X-Men” movie series as we know it. It was inevitable as soon as it became clear that the Disney-Fox merger was gonna happen — we all knew that this series would have to wrap up before Kevin Feige and co. could bring the X-Men into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And so now “Dark Phoenix” is here, and the franchise that began the current wave of superhero madness in Hollywood is just about over (with only the “New Mutants” horror spinoff left to go).
But don’t expect a reboot into the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the near future.
