very specific spoilers, somehow, forDark Phoenix
If you caught themost recent trailerfor 20th Century Fox’s latest X-Men movie,Dark Phoenix, you might have been surprised to see what looked like confirmation that Jennifer Lawrence’s Mystique dies in the film. Like, they showed that, then went on the internet toconfirmthat yes, they showed that. Luckily, the just-released international trailer for directorSimon Kinberg’s film didn’t go with a close-up ofMichael Fassbendergetting shot in the face, instead opting for a decent amount of new footage. (Mostly from the rocket ship scenewe saw at last year’s Comic-Con.) In all seriousness, this might actually be the bestDark Phoenixtrailer out there.
I’m still probably more on board with this movie than most and this trailer does a good job explaining why.Sophie Turneris a mutant outer-space force of nature and literally the entire world is afraid of her.Jessica Chastainplays her devious alien mentor. These are positives, people.
Check out the trailer below.Dark Phoenix—which also starsJames McAvoy,Nicholas Hoult,Alexandra Shipp, andEvan Peters—hits theaters on June 7.
Here is the official synopsis forDark 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.
