Dark Phoenix: Evan Peters, Alexandra Shipp and Tye Sheridan Interview

Dark Phoenix: Evan Peters, Alexandra Shipp and Tye Sheridan Interview
With writer-director Simon Kinberg’s Dark Phoenix opening in theaters this weekend, I recently sat down with Evan Peters, Alexandra Shipp and Tye Sheridan to talk about the film. Since I knew going in that I didn’t want to ask questions that would spoil the movie, I decided to have some fun and ask a number of fan-submitted questions that I got on Twitter and also talk about the Game of Thrones finale which had aired a few nights before. Thankfully, they were both in a great mood and willing to play along. Some of the others things they talked about were which movie they have watched the most, if they have any sort of pre-shooting ritual, their favorite unscripted moments, their first movie or TV crush, what was the last thing they were really obsessed with, what they’ve borrowed from set, and so much more.
As most of you know, Dark Phoenix is most likely the last X-Men film with the current cast and adapts the famous "Dark Phoenix Saga" comics arc, with Sophie Turner filling the role of Jean Grey/Dark Phoenix while Jessica Chastain plays a mysterious and otherworldly character. The film also sees Michael Fassbender return as Magneto alongside Storm (Alexandra Shipp), Red Lotus (Andrew Stehlin), Beast (Nicholas Hoult), Nightcrawler (Kodi Smit-McPhee), and Selene (Kota Eberhardt). Main players Charles Xavier (James McAvoy), Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence), Quicksilver (Evan Peters), and Cyclops (Tye Sheridan) return.

Evan Peters being so calm in every interview. and his smiles were so captivating. so cute and handsome at the same time.

I love Evan’s personality 💗💗

[@littlefever9410]

If I'm in a movie with approximately 5 mins screentime and I have to go on press tours answering questions as if I'm in for like half the movie, I'd be pissed too.

[@dnte_86]

yeah but he was in the other 2 so he's kinda needed

[@kathleencassels4358]

Yeah don't forget he had to do promotions and travel to a lot of different places. I don't think he was too pissed, I think he was more like "why did I have to be here" this kind of mood.

[@theresekeniry2259]

Here watching these just now... for no particular reason. Wandavision wa wandavision

Sameee

[@shehreenferdous6655]

I live for Evan's smile!! makes my day. love him

[@blogorgonopsid]

I really like Alexandra Shipp. She's got a great sense of humour. Liked her Storm in Apocalypse, she was different and darker than Halle Berry's Storm in the original movies. Now I can't wait to see Alexandra's more peaceful version of Storm in Dark Phoenix.

[@kdvn1]

blogorgonopsid too bad they still barely gave her screen time or any memorable scenes

[@demonloli5337]

Ironic that Peters is the only one who doesn’t mention stealing anything on set when his character is ^literally^ kleptomaniac. Seriously, Charles says that Peter’s a kleptomaniac when they are trying to get him to break out Magneto
