Celebrated comic-book writer Chris Claremont talks about 'Dark Phoenix,' 'X-Men: The Last Stand,' and his biggest 'X-Men' movie regret.
Chris Claremont, the legendary comic-book writer behind the classic X-Men storyline,"The Dark Phoenix Saga," talked to Business Insider about the story's movie adaptations in 2006's"X-Men: The Last Stand" and this year's"Dark Phoenix."Claremont said"Dark Phoenix" director Simon Kinberg wanted to divide it into two movies, but"did the very best work possible within a whole bunch of contexts that were totally out of his control.
"The biggest challenge is that comics are a continuous medium," comic-book writer Chris Claremont, who cocreated the famous source material with artist John Byrne, told Business Insider during an interview ahead of the release of"Dark Phoenix" on digital and Blu-Ray . "Simon wanted to do it as two films," Claremont confirmed."One to make the audience fall in love with Jean and the other to break their hearts. But to do it in an hour and 50 minutes is a challenge. To his credit, despite a lot of outside interference from companies that will remain nameless, he pretty much got away with it."A representative from Disney did not reply to Business Insider's request for comment.
Claremont has his own regrets. He said that Janssen once asked him if he was"going to write me a really great Dark Phoenix."

These Are the Unhinged Men Who Want to Ban Abortion in TennesseeLast week, the Tennessee state legislature began pushing for a total abortion ban, similar to those enacted (and blocked, struck down, or challenged) in states like Georgia, Arkansas, and Kentucky. (The goal of SB 1236, as with most other state-level abortion bans, is to escalate a fight to the Supreme Court and to ultimately overturn Roe v. Wade.) Over the course of two days, lawmakers debated expanding a currently proposed “heartbeat” bill to ban abortion upon the medical detection of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG), a hormone associated with pregnancy that can appear in blood tests within 11 days of conception, without exceptions for rape or incest.
