Looks like they will be live-streaming the Dark Phoenix L.A. premiere in June 4. And it will be at 9 pm here on the east coast of the USA, which means it works well with me work schedule. Yay!
This news was buried in a Variety article about the Alien 40th anniversary,so I don't know if the sequel is really confirmed, but this is hilarious:
So,there's not a UK premiere,right? I think they're putting more efforts in the Asian markets for obvious reasons,but it's a pity they've not done something more with the fans while they were in London.
I've watched some bits from the China premiere and fan events and they've really done a great job.

It looks like it’s press showings of Dark Phoenix tonight, and whilst I don’t hold out much hope for an overwhelmingly positive critical reaction, it would be nice if the series went out on an upward trajectory.
The publicity tour has been an unexpected delight. Michael has been far more involved than I thought he would be, and he has always seemed to be in great spirits. It’s been lovely to see all the clips and photos.

Yes,I agree.The Beijing part of the tour,in particular,was pretty great.
I think James McAvoy also commented that they felt overwhelmed by the love. China is a huge market for this franchise.
I've been very happy to see him do promotion with James again.
It's always nice to see the love for Michael's and James' work in all these films and people wanting them to reprise the roles in the Marvel reboot,but this film has been badmouthed for two years. It's a pity that fans
have not been able to enjoy the promotion without having to deal with the toxicity on SM,mostly coming from MCU fans.
About the ending that was partially reshot:

The other movie is obviously Captain Marvel,and the ending is probably referred to the alien characters and similarities between some scenes with Jean in her phoenix form.
I can also see the film lefting the ending open for a sequel,so that had to be fixed.
I know (very superficially) the DP saga and this is the type of story that requires a longer buildup to be invested in the character. This may be some fair criticism. But I suspect that a lot of the more "geeky" sites that are usually added to RT have the knives out..
And,apparently,nowadays RT is what really matters to put films in the "flop" and "non flop" categories.
I expect a lot of biased opinions,even for aspects (like bad writing ) that are not fatal flaws for other superhero films.
Anyway,these are some first reactions that look quite positive,even I don't really have great expectations:
This is funny:

So during the L.A. screening for Dark Phoenix tonight, alarms went off during the climax of the film and the theater had to be evacuated. Many critics left without finishing the film because of this. Doesn’t bode well for reviews. There’s no way this movie is going to get a fair shake.
