"X-Men: The Last Stand" is a 2006 superhero film based on the renowned X-Men team from Marvel Comics. During my participation in a 20th Century Fox executive conference in Hollywood, a concern was raised regarding the similarity of the film's key visuals, particularly in terms of composition and color tone. In response to this issue, I developed a minimalistic yet bold creative direction for the advanced key visuals explicitly tailored for the Japanese market. This strategy yielded successful results, especially in the context of Tokyo's vibrant and dynamic streets.
