The next X-Men film is set to focus on Jean Grey as Fox will once again be trying to adapt the “Dark Phoenix” storyline and Jessica Chastain will be joining the cast this time around. When Chastain was confirmed for the film, it was believed that she would be playing Lilandra, Empress of the Shi’ar Empire, but the actress says that’s not the case.
