Second “X-Men Dark Phoenix” was originally set to release November 2nd 2018 and now has been pushed back to February 14th 2019. “Dark Phoenix” is the sequel to “X-Men Apocalypse” and is set in the 1990’s. This movie tells the tale of Jean Grey as she transforms into the extremely powerful Phoenix. This movie is inspired by the popular “Dark Phoenix saga” comic book series.

No official word if either movie will be released in 3D . Considering that the last few X-Men movies (Apocalypse, Days of Future Past) have released in 3D it is safe to assume that this movie (Dark Phoenix) would also release in 3D.
