Notes
- 20th Century Fox announced the original November 2, 2018 release date for this film in April 2017, alongside dates for the films Deadpool 2 and The New Mutants,[3] but later pushed back the date for this film to February 14, 2019.[4] This film was later pushed back again to its final release date June 7, 2019, taking the one of the then planned film Gambit.[5]
- On October 14th, 2017, it was announced that this film along with Deadpool 2, had both wrapped filming.[6]
Trivia
- The film's climax was originally set in space. The movie underwent lengthy re-shoots to give the finale a more grounded feel,[7] and to avoid parallels with the endings of the films Captain America: Civil War and Captain Marvel, the latter of which was also in production at the same time as this film. According to writer and director Simon Kinberg, the original ending didn't have the entirety of the X-Men assembled together, and the movie's use of characters was similar to Civil War, in the sense that it had a big action action set piece where everyone is involved occurred at the end of the second act, whereas the third act involved fewer characters and a more intimate exploration of their emotions. Kinberg also admitted Jean's sequences in space displaying her full power were reminiscent of some of the visuals in Captain Marvel.[8]
- According to studio insiders, the film's second premiere date delay from February to June 2019, was made to placate star director James Cameron, who felt concern for the competition his film Alita: Battle Angel, which premiered on January 2019, would face.[9]
- While this is technically the last titled X-Men film made by 20th Century Fox, and therefore also the final entry in the main series of X-Men films, this is also technically the first in the X-Men film property to be distributed by Disney, after its acquisition of Fox in March (now 20th Century Studios).
- According to writer and director Simon Kinberg, this film was originally planned to be the first in a new trilogy of X-Men films.[10] After Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox in March 2019, said plans were scrapped, in favor of rebooting the franchise and integrating it into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.[11]
- Prior to the re-shoots when they settled on using the D'bari, this film originally planned to have the Skrulls as its main antagonists.[12][13]
