New X-Men Dark Phoenix Official Trailer Released!
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 spiralling 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.
Written and Directed by: Simon Kinberg, Produced by: Simon Kinberg, Hutch Parker, Lauren Shuler Donner, Todd Hallowell and staring James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Sophie Turner, Tye Sheridan, Alexandra Shipp, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Evan Peters, and Jessica Chastain this new trailer for DARK PHOENIX certainly gives us a good idea of what to expect from this new X-Men film.
I must admit, when the teaser trailer was released a while back I didn’t have much expectations for this film, as it looked like it was going to be a retread of 2005’s X-Men The Last Stand, but the full official trailer looks a lot more exciting and dramatic. Even though DARK PHOENIX marks the end of an era for the current run of X-Men films I’ll be looking forward to seeing it a lot more now on the strength of this trailer. How about you? What are your thoughts on X-Men DARK PHEONIX?
DARK PHOENIX is released in Theatres June 7, 2019.
I’m not sure yet. I really didn’t like Apocalypse, but fortunately, there’s a different director on board now. I’m doubting Sophie Turner’s acting skills, though. She was quite bad in Apocalypse, so I don’t know if she’ll be any better, especially since her character plays a much bigger role in this one, and I’m guessing that her character will become a whole lot more complex as well. I’ll just have to wait and see π
I wasn’t a fan of Apocalypse, either. That film was very disjointed story wise. Likewise, I had doubts about Dark Phoenix, but this trailer does seem to offer some hope for a good storyline this time around. Sophie Turner didn’t have that much to do really in Apocalypse, so hopefully her greater role in Dark Phoenix will give her character more scope. I have enjoyed most of the X-Men films, so I’m hoping they round things off well with Dark Phoenix. π
Her having a bigger role both gives me hope, but it also makes me afraid haha. She could either give a very nuanced performance or fail at portraying the complexity of her character and come across as flat, as she has in her other roles except for Game of Thrones, but even there she’s outshone by everyone else. But of course, the writers could mess up her character as well haha, and just don’t give her enough to work with, as they did in Apocalypse. I’m curious to find out. Hopefully, it’ll be a good sendoff to the series!
I hope they do the character and the storyline justice. I wasn’t a big fan of the Apocalypse film, it was a bit of a jumbled mess, hopefully Dark Phoenix will redress the balance a bit and bring this film series to a good conclusion.
I liked the trailer and hopefully the movie is a good send off to the current X-men movie run
Me too. It certainly sets the tone of what to expect from this film, and seem to have a good strong storyline. Fingers crossed this brings the current run of X-Men films to a close in fine style as well π
This looks way intense. I can’t wait to see this movie.
Dark Phoenix looks like its going to be really dramatic and action packed. Looking forward to seeing this movie as well π
Yeah I can’t wait. I hope this movie does great. I heard the past movie X-Men 3: Last Stand didn’t do well on Dark Phoenix. π
It looks quite promising now. Yes, X-Men 3 Last Stand wasn’t very good, but although Dark Phoenix has a similar premise, it looks like they have finally done the story justice this time around. Lets hope so, it certainly looks very dramatic and exciting π
Yeah it looks like they might redeem themselves in this one. This one looks very dark and intense, but it looks great. I feel like this movie is going to really focus on the comics. π
I hope its closer to the comic book storyline as well, that would be awesome π
I hope so too. It looks like they are going to be careful with the story this time and want to give fans what they want. π
I’m sure they will. I’ve enjoyed most of the X-Men films, so will be good to see this film series get a good send off and wrap the storylines up properly.
Yeah I feel like after this, we’ll get more interesting X-Men stories. I heard we’re getting a Gambit and New Mutants movie.
I’m sure it will lead to even bigger things for the X-Men films. I think Gambit and New Mutants movies were planned, not sure if they are still going ahead now though. Either way, I’m sure those characters will appear at some point.
I am looking forward to seeing the X-Men again. It feels like it’s been a long time since I seen the previous movies. The team are amazing like Avengers. I am curious about seeing Gambit.
Yes, me too, Gambit is a great character, especially when he’s teamed up with Rogue in the comic books. Would be great to see that in a movie. It does seem ages since the last X-Men film, will be good to see the team on the big screen again π
I heard he was pretty helpful in the series and I hear in the cartoons he is cool. I hope to see this movie. I feel like this will be eve greater than X-Men 3.
Yes, Gambit has been a key character in the comics and the cartoon sereis as well. Hopefully one day we will see him make the move to the big screen as well. Dark Phoenix looks like it will give all the principle cast major roles, and I’m sure their showdown with Dark Phoenix will be pretty spectacular.
I hope he makes a cameo appearance in the movie. He is interesting character. It looks like they brought the cast from the previous X-Men for Dark Phoenix. It’s interesting that the movie is not called X-Men: Dark Phoenix.
We shall have to wait and see. Yes, I thought this film would have been called X-Men Dark Phoenix as well, strange they didn’t go for that really.
Scratch out that last sentence I said. X-Men Dark Phoenix will probably be a summer’s biggest blockbuter.
That’s ok. Yes, I hope Dark Phoenix does well. I think people will be interested to see how this era of X-Men movies concludes.
If that’s true, I guess Marvel-Fox might be going to a new direction in the X-Men universe. I guess that explains why we have upcoming titles, for now, called Gambit and New Mutants. I bet this new change is going to be beyond the X-Men team and focus on the characters instead.
I would expect so. Would expect Marvel / Fox will have something good in store as the X-Men become part of the MCU. Gambit and the New Mutants are sure to be part of the mix. In time we might even see films like Avengers Vs X-Men or the Secret Wars perhaps that will bring all the characters together with the other MCU heroes. That’d be fun π
I am actually excited for that. I have been hearing about the Fox and Disney merge and it would be great. If it happens, we could get more movies with Avengers and X-Men. I would love to see an X-Men vs Avengers movie or Secret Wars. It’s a Marvel fanboy’s dream. π
I think the merge will be great for Marvel fans as it will being all these characters into the same universe. There is so much potential to be had from this move. Seeing the Avengers and the X-Men in the same movie will certainly be something all fans would love to see π
I agree. I feel like Fox is already preparing the merge to happen especially since they did their first PG-13 Deadpool movie. With the characters merging together, Marvel will not have to worry about running out of heroes. π
That’s right, after the merger they will all be spoilt for choice with so many great superheroes to pick from π
Yeah and it will definitely give DC a run for its money. I guess this also means we might get more Marvel TV shows too. π
Agreed, I thought this trailer did a good job of showing that it’s going to be doing its own spin on the Phoenix saga. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing it. There’s definitely going to be a lot of action here!
I wasn’t expecting much from this trailer for Dark Phoenix but I was pleasantly surprised by it. The film looks like it is really going to do this classic storyline justice, and it looks really action packed as well π
I’m avoiding this trailer to be honest Paul due to spoilers but I did enjoy the first trailer and couldn’t understand the hate Dark Phoenix is getting. All the controversy surrounding the reshoots is perhaps a little troubling but I’m still want to give it the benefit of the doubt – I’d just like to see the Fox era of X-Men to have a decent send-off (even if it doesn’t end up being spectacular).
This movie has certainly had a troubled path to the big screen, but I’m glad its almost here now. I’ve enjoyed the Fox X-Men movies for the most part, and I’m glad that it seem on the strength of this trailer that Dark Phoenix will being this era of the X-Men film to a close in fine style π
It looks like it could be good, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say I’m excited to watch the movie.
I wasn’t expecting much from Dark Phoenix at all originally, but I’m looking foward to it more now. Looks a lot better than Apocalypse was, so fingers crossed.
Apocalypse really should have been a trilogy. That’s the only way you could do a villain like Apocalypse justice in movie form.
I imagine it like this; you don’t even see Apocalypse in the first movie. Focus the first movie on properly introducing Angel as an actual character, as well as Mr. Sinister. At the half-way point, Angel loses his wings and turns to Sinister for help. Archangel ends up being the main threat to the X-Men in that movie. The climax introduces the rest of the horsemen.
The second movie starts with Apocalypse’s backstory and the general history of the horsemen. But you don’t properly see him until about half-way in. By that point, Archangel is starting to switch back to the X-Men’s side. Apocalypse introduces the new horsemen of death at the same time as he introduces himself. It’s not until the third movie though when you learn the real scope of Apocalypse’s power and his plans. And it’s a big enough threat that it forces the X-Men, Magneto’s brotherhood and even the Hellfire club to team up against him.
That would certainly have been a better way of doing the Apocalypse storylines. I’d really like to see Mr Sinister in a movie as well, I prefer him s a X-Men villain to Apocalypse tbh.
Apocalypse can be good with the right writer, but Mr. Sinister is more fun because of how wildly unpredictable he is.
I agree, Mr Sinister has always been one of my favourite villains. Would be cool to see the Inferno storyline made into a movie one day, that was a great storyline as well.
I haven’t read Inferno. I really should some time.
Its a story were the Goblin Queen teams up with Mr Sinister to unleash hell on Earth, quite literally, and all the X-Men. Its one of my favourite X-Men storylines and say the first team up between Uncanny X-Men and X-Factor. I’d highly recommend it, think its available now in a trade collection, but I’m not 100% sure. Will have to check.
