That whole thing with Chastain looks like a total clusterfunk. Of the three, I would actually prefer Lilandra, mainly to help give the Shi'ar a popularity somewhat sizable compared to the other two biggest alien races in Marvel (the Kree and Skrulls). Since Fox will probably take advantage of how they can use Super-Skrull and Marvel can't, having Chastain playing it would be... really weird. And having a Miss Sinister is going to just fuel to DC fans' little political narrative ("Gender-swapping? MARVEL SUCKS!").

In the end though, why do we even need aliens in the X-Men films? They already went big in Apocalypse and it blew up in their face. Plus, while The Last Stand was relatively grounded (despite upping the ante way too much compared to the Singer films), I feel a more character-driven movie is what this movie needs to be impactful. Not to mention the only reason I'm anticipating this studio-mandated time bomb is because it MIGHT tie up Apocalypse and Logan - MIGHT.

Of course, I'm still going to see it. Because my dad has a celeb crush on Chastain. Someone help me...
