Disney seems to be fully on board with the merger with Fox as a new Sizzle Real was shown Cinimacon, featuring the X-Men.
The reel in question didn’t show us anything that might hint at future X-Men movies but from the way, it was described it was pretty cool all the same. Most notably, it included clips from the various X-Men films alongside other Disney properties. Disney Chairman Alan Horn then took to the stage to celebrate the recent Disney-Fox merger:
Hello everybody. Well I have to say, that reel just blows me away. I’m still getting my mind around this. So we are truly excited because together we believe we will be more than the sum of our parts.
From the sound of things, Alan Horn is as blown away by this as we are!

Here is a plot synopsis for the latest X-Men film, Dark Phoenix:
In DARK PHOENIX, the X-MEN face their most formidable and powerful foe: one of their own, Jean Grey. During a rescue mission in space, Jean is nearly killed when she is hit by a mysterious cosmic force. Once she returns home, this force not only makes her infinitely more powerful, but far more unstable. Wrestling with this entity inside her, Jean unleashes her powers in ways she can neither comprehend nor contain. With Jean spiraling out of control, and hurting the ones she loves most, she begins to unravel the very fabric that holds the X-Men together. Now, with this family falling apart, they must find a way to unite — not only to save Jean’s soul, but to save our very planet from aliens who wish to weaponize this force and rule the galaxy.
Directed by Simon Kinberg, Dark Phoenix stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Sophie Turner, Tye Sheridan, Alexandra Shipp, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Evan Peters, and Jessica Chastain.
Dark Phoenix will be released in theaters on June 7, 2019.
