In what is either a confident move for its projects or an “everything must go” move before being eaten alive by Disney, Fox is swapping films on its release schedule. Alita: Battle Angel, Dark Phoenix, and Gambit are all being pushed back, with an apparently PG-13 re-release of Deadpool 2 taking Alita’s spot of December 21.
There’s a whole lot to unpack here—X-Men sequel Dark Phoenix, which literally just had a trailer yesterday with its original release date of February 14, 2019, will now release in the summer on June 7, 2019. It’s probably a better date for a superhero blockbuster, but this isn’t even the first time that film has been pushed back.
