News Reelz: X-Men: Dark Phoenix is finally hitting screens next week after experiencing a few delays & it looks like we know a reason for at least one of the factors that played into the film being held for so long. Speaking with Yahoo! Movies UK, James McAvoy (who plays Charles Xavier) and Michael Fassbender (Magneto) said the much buzzed-about reshoots, which reportedly changed the film’s original ending from a space setting to a train escape, were done to make Dark Phoenix stand out from another recent superhero film.

Neither actor will say which film is in question but both agree similarities with a certain film led to reshoots of the third act:
.
.
“The finale had to change,” McAvoy explained of the long-gestating Dark Phoenix. “There was a lot of overlap and parallels with another superhero movie that came out... a while ago. And we had no idea that we were [shooting something similar].”
.
.
Without pointing a finger directly at any of their box office peers, Fassbender went one step further, joking that the mysterious other movie had “spies on set” for Dark Phoenix. More seriously, both actors agreed that the can’t-be-named film indeed appeared to be mining the same source material, at least for its finale, as Dark Phoenix. .
.
Many on social media speculate the film in question is Captain Marvel. The speculation comes from not only for its ending’s epic outer space showdown, but also for its relatively close development timeline. The Disney-Fox merger was unfolding around the same time as Dark Phoenix entered post-production in late 2017, so it’s also possible that fellow Marvel movie Avengers: Endgame, which wrapped in early 2018, is also a possibility.

Avengers: Infinity War also had a space showdown but Infinity War wrapped in the summer of 2017.

What film do you speculate it is? Sound off! @xmenmovies: Dark Phoenix opens June 7.
