New Dark Phoenix Footage Takes Us Back To X-Men's Beginnings

The latest Dark Phoenix trailer is much more than footage from the upcoming Jean Grey (Sophie Turner)-centric film.


It's also a celebration of the whole X-Men saga starting with the very first movie back in 2000. From the initial moments of the clip, we visualize a veritable menagerie of mutants, all of whom have been on the big screen at one point or another over the last two decades, looking back on what's made the franchise such an intriguing set of movies all along.


Dark Phoenix follows Jean Grey's metamorphosis into a villainous character as she starts to come to terms with her devastating powers. It's Sophie Turner's first solo movie because the character, and we can't wait to be able to see how things play out. In terms of what Jean's powers can do, let's just mention they're far more destructive than what most of the other X-Men are capable of. And it's not technically Jean who's doing all of the damage – it's her superpowered adjust ego Phoenix, who wants to do bad. And she does it well.


as well as the IMAX-exclusive trailer, 20th Century Fox released a featurette exploring the X-Men legacy as a whole, taking a nostalgic look back at some of the franchise's biggest moments over the years ahead of Dark Phoenix's release.
