Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Trank tweeted that the theatrical version wasn't his film; 20th Century Fox allegedly hijacked editing and ordered massive reshoots without him.
This disaster directly led to Disney's 2019 Fox acquisition and Marvel Studios reclaiming the characters—making it the most expensive franchise correction in history.
