The fourth instalment of the X-Men: First Class series, titled Dark Phoenix, is having some rough production issues. Dark Phoenix was supposed to come out last year. Then the first test screening happened and the reactions from those early viewers were disastrous, to say the least, as per reports. This prompted 20th Century Fox studios and director Simon Kinberg to go for reshoots, rescheduling the release date. With the ongoing Disney-Fox merger, the movie's release date got further pushed from February to June. Did Dark Phoenix Trailer Hint At The Death of Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique? Watch Video.

With the movie now reshaped as per the studios' expectation, the executives held another test screening (third one) for Dark Phoenix. However, as per a report in The Looper, the results were more or less the same as the first time.

As per the report, TheDisInsider editor in chief and That Hashtag Show writer Skyler Shuler claims that he got the opportunity to interact with some members on the screening. Based on the interactions, he tweeted, "Another X-Men: Dark Phoenix test screening, and guess what? I now have talked to 6 people who all went to 3 different test screenings and all of them have told me the screenings were BAD". X-Men Movie Dark Phoenix's Full Plot Gets LEAKED; Enter With Caution!

To this tweet, an X-Men fan replied saying that he was a part of the screening and that everyone was laughing hard at one particular serious scene.

Skyler replied to this fan, claiming he knows what the fan is talking about, while posting a cryptic gif of Spongebob burying himself in the sand.

We are hoping that these are just speculations and rumours. Last time, even Deadpool 2 reportedly had bad test screenings, but what we saw wasn't that bad at all.
