Seriously, that needs to stop. Like it’s clear no one wants her in the lead so Fox needs to grow up (Having two underperformed films with her at the front, that’s including “Joy”) and tell Lawrence to go to hell. Get back to the X-Men stories. Singer kept talking about a sequel to the original trilogy. This should have been that. It was stupid to make “Apocalypse” set in the 1980’s when, at the end of “Days of Future Past”, it was revealed the original cast in the present are safe. Ruined any dramatic tension. They should have used elements like Jean Grey’s Phoenix curse and APolcaypse in modern time with Logan trying to make sure Jean didn’t die again, being the only one who knows what happened the last time she ignited. Simple as hell. But instead Fox had to abide by contract obligations to drag out this prequel series. Should have reduced them to flashback scenes or, at least, another parallel storyline like DOFP. It’s not a compelling story when you, literally, know who is going to live or die decades after.
