Bryan Singer, the director of the first two X-Men films, left the project in July 2004 in favor of developing Superman Returns. Singer stated that he "didn't fully have X-Men 3 in my mind" in contrast to a fully formed idea for a Superman film and interest in joining that franchise. By the time of his departure, Singer had only produced a partial story treatment with X2 screenwriters Dan Harris and Michael Dougherty, who accompanied him to Superman Returns. The treatment focused on Jean Grey's resurrection, which would also introduce the villainess Emma Frost, a role intended for Sigourney Weaver. Frost was an empath manipulating Jean's emotions in the treatment and, like the finished film, Magneto desires to control her. Overwhelmed by her powers, Jean kills herself, but Jean's spirit survives and becomes a god-like creature, which Dougherty compared to the star child in A Space Odyssey.

Comic Book Origins
The film "X-Men: The Last Stand" is primarily based on the "Dark Phoenix Saga" from the X-Men comic book series. This storyline is one of the most iconic arcs in the X-Men universe, originally published by Marvel Comics in the late 1970s and early 1980s.Authors
- Writer: Chris Claremont
- Artist: John Byrne
Storyline Overview
The "Dark Phoenix Saga" follows the transformation of Jean Grey into the Dark Phoenix, a powerful and destructive entity. The storyline explores themes of power, corruption, and redemption, as Jean struggles with her newfound abilities and the X-Men attempt to save her from herself.Film Adaptation
The film adaptation, while inspired by the "Dark Phoenix Saga," takes creative liberties and combines elements from other X-Men storylines. The movie introduces a "cure" for mutants, which was not part of the original comic arc. This addition creates a parallel plotline that diverges from the source material.Comparison to the Comic
- The film simplifies the complex narrative of the "Dark Phoenix Saga" to fit the cinematic format.
- Key characters and events from the comic are altered or omitted to accommodate the film's storyline.
- The emotional depth and character development present in the comics are condensed in the film adaptation.
Overall, while "X-Men: The Last Stand" draws inspiration from the "Dark Phoenix Saga," it is not a direct adaptation and includes significant deviations from the original comic book storyline.

The first of two reveals of the Dark Phoenix plot, combined with the story of the fight against the cure. The two mutant camps begin open clashes with each other. Someone takes medicine, and someone "I’m a mutant and I’m proud of it." I recommend checking out the entire trilogy. All the best
I was upset with Jean Gray’s arc and how she and Logan got too much attention while many other characters only got bits of it.
Tremble, Perry the Porcupine, I invented a de… Wait, so what is this allusion to? To gays? To abortions? To drug addicts? To trans people? To blacks? To the disabled? To transhumanism? To animals? Oh no, this is an allusion to a normal film. (Also unsuccessful)
