I think there's a big misconception out there about actors and the choices they have.
Famke Janssen
I know Dark Phoenix is a huge part of the X-Men saga, so I'm assuming they're at least going to want to touch on it, but I don't know and I don't know whether I would want to be involved. That depends on many different things.
Famke Janssen
If you do well as an actor, a good director will pick up on it, and keep it in the film.
