Has young Jean done anything of note since popping up? I'm struggling for something.

Please no. Kinberg already did the Phoenix story dirty in X-Men 3. Now you want him to direct the thing as his first feature?

It's blame that on the director..
Er, yeah, she defeated Apocalypse. She had the most screentime of any of the newbies in Apocalypse.

It's amazing that she did that and it was somehow unmemorable and not worth mentioning.
Seriously, how do you mess up Apocalypse?

I thought Jean's parts of Apocalypse were among its strongest. And it was definitely the best material she's gotten in the X-Men films to date.
At least their pretty spread out.
Emelia Clarke had that YA adaptation where she falls in love with the rich crippled man that she is caring for. That did pretty well at the box office.

How did that Pompeii movie do with Kit Harington?

I was 100 percent sure this was a joke.
Somewhat better than that Kit Harington movie based on the Konami horror game.
Careful, young man. With that much furious spinning beware you don't rotate so much that you end up corkscrewing yourself into the ground.
But what about Gambit
Just Aquaman for now. Potentially another film in the summer, but the time to get production started on whatever that might is quickly running out.

Why do I get this feeling that Dark Phoenix might be a franchise killing disaster?

If the Phoenix Saga isn't at least a two part movie series and goes to space with the Shi'ar Empire involved then what's the point? That's what the fans want. We don't want your own interpretation of the Phoenix Saga like X3. We want the one we came to know and love.
BTW I never read the comics either but the Phoenix Saga from the cartoon series was by far my favorite arc in the show.

Deadpool will have enough gas to keep this tire fire going for at least one or two more rounds.

Fucked up that the Deadpool meme hour is still a better X-Men movie than any of the X-Men movies.

I addressed the films that I thought were lacking in the franchise. I haven't seen Logan so I can't comment on it but I am aware of the universal acclaim it has received and look forward to seeing it myself. Deadpool was great but I don't include it not Logan alongside the other X-Men movies. Honestly I'm not too sure how they all mesh in terms of continuity either with all the time travel and contradicting events happening. When I say certain X-Men movies have been shit, I'm speaking exclusively and explicitly about X-Men movies, not Deadpool movies or Wolverine movies so you reflexively jumped to this position of being alarmed at what I said without truly understanding what it was that I did say.
Lastly, just because I want to see them take the franchise in a different direction and hoped to see that it happens in the hands of a more proven studio doesn't mean I'm trying to assert, suggest or delude myself into believing that it will happen. I just want the films to really deviate from the status quo of Marvel superhero flicks and get into subject matter that I feel makes them so engaging and speak about things other hero flicks seem afraid to. That was it.
My thought was that if Marvel does reacquire it, they'll know it isn't nearly as big a draw as it's other franchises so they won't be afraid to say or do things that wouldn't otherwise sit comfortably in a summer blockbuster, superhero movie. That's all I hoped for.
They already traded the Shiar rights back to Marvel Studios for three Butterfingers and an Old Fashioned.
Why should Disney/Marvel get Deadpool? FOX and everyone involved did a great job with that movie. You can tell the people involved actually give a damn about the characters.....X-Men is another story.

New Mutants
Wrong team of young teenaged mutants who must balance school at the mansion with saving the world thankfully.
Gen X is fine but New Mutants is amazing.
That's not spin. There's no reason why a disappointing performance from one movie should cause the studio to abandon it or lose confidence; indeed, the history of this very series shows the opposite, since it's gone through some significant ups and downs over the years. The most important factor in whether audiences go to see a movie is whether the studio can sell them on that particular movie.
It's all under one license, so any successful films made under it prolong the whole license. FOX is never going to just give Disney highly valuable IP because one film made less than they wanted it to. Even if they want to temporarily stop using certain characters, they would just keep them in their back pocket for later use.
We already have a Rogue One of X-Men, it came out last year too.
X-Men under Disney would see Magneto killed during the first film.
Gordon Shumway

Yep..
And X-Men under Fox would have 17 years of mediocre X-Men movies

Can't wait to see them fuck up Dark Phoenix a second time. REBOOT THIS GODDAMN FRANCHISE ALREADY; the Singerverse is a relic of an era when it was still novel for a superhero adaptation to not show outright contempt for the source material
After the 150 million US DOLLARS Gambit movie in 20XX
150 million? Selling it short. That movie needs at least 285 million to get all that cajun and kinetic energy and love for an underage girl

To be fair they had one fuck up out of the past 3 dude.

He wasn't alone.
Just make the new phoenix movie take place entirely inside Jason Wyngarde's head. Before paintball armor became popular.

I'm assuming you're referring to Logan? If you were saying that Apocalypse=Rouge One then that'd be disheartening.
I'd say said poster dislikes the whole franchise, so I don't think that would hold with him.

They should have Tatum as Gambit in Dark Phoenix teasing that this will lead into his solo movie only to announce the movie's cancellation by having Phoenix rip his head off, burn his body to ash and then throw his head into the sun.
That way we can get the hilarity of Tatum as Gambit and we never have to see him again after
