you\u2019re going to want to brace yourselves for this one.<\/p>\n<p>It seems as though four years after the premiere of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/movies\/scifi\/x-men-movies-order\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">X-Men: Dark Phoenix<\/a>, producer Simon Kinberg has revealed that he\u2019s got a ton of ideas that could fit perfectly into a potential Dark Phoenix sequel.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking exclusively to <a href=\"http:\/\/radiotimes.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">RadioTimes.com<\/a> upon the release of his latest Apple TV+ series <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sci-fi\/invasion-season-2-release-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Invasion<\/a>, the filmmaker and producer admitted: \u201cI wish I had more time to tell the Dark Phoenix story.\u201d<\/p> <p>Talking about the film, which he produced alongside a slate of other X-Men movies like The Last Stand and Days of Future Past, he said: \u201cI think the Dark Phoenix story probably requires more than one movie and when I went into making Dark Phoenix, I went into it with the notion that it was going to be two movies and somewhere along the way we changed that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had the Hellfire Club in a script, concept art of what they would look like and Lilandra and a lot of other characters from the actual comic story and I do regret not being able to tell the full story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a

and namely, the actors that delivered stellar performances in it.<\/p>\n<p>He revealed: \u201cBut there\u2019s things about the movie I\u2019m incredibly proud of, I\u2019m incredibly proud of Sophie Turner\u2019s performance in that movie and going back to X-Men: The Last Stand, Days of Future Past gave us an opportunity to correct some of the things I would have wanted to correct, like bringing Jimmy Marsden back at the end of Days of Future Past was really gratifying for me.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image-handler__container image-handler__container--full\" style=\"padding-bottom: calc(100% * (666
