New Dark Phoenix trailer shows Jean Grey wielding her ultimate power
In a new trailer, Jean Grey loses control of her abilities and unleashes the Phoenix. Plus, Jessica Chastain reveals more about her evil character.
Sophie Turner is ready to cause chaos as Jean Grey in X-Men: Dark Phoenix.
In the full trailer for X-Men: Dark Phoenix, we see the mutant superheroes face their most formidable and powerful foe: one of their own.
The trailer, released late Thursday, shows a rescue mission in space that goes wrong and almost kills Jean Grey (Sophie Turner). A mysterious force enters the X-Men character's body. It not only makes Jean infinitely more powerful, but also unstable.
Jean unleashes her powers, and spirals out of control. She hurts those she loves and, ultimately, could be what divides the X-Men once and for all. And if that's not enough, there are aliens who want to weaponize Jean's power and rule the galaxy. Jessica Chastain plays a shapeshifter character named Smith, and she is shown manipulating Phoenix for her own agenda.
Chastain was interviewed by late-night host Jimmy Fallon in tandem with the trailer's release.
X-Men: Dark Phoenix will be the 12th movie in the series.
On Tuesday, Twentieth Century Fox released a poster for the film that offers more clues to fans wondering whether their favorite Marvel mutants will get screen time in Dark Phoenix.
In addition to Turner and Chastain, X-Men: Dark Phoenix stars Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Tye Sheridan, Alexandra Shipp, Nicholas Hoult and Evan Peters.
It's the first installment in the newest X-Men trilogy and the 12th movie in the X-Men film series. The second in the new X-Men trilogy is The New Mutants, expected out Aug. 2.
X-Men: Dark Phoenix is scheduled for release worldwide on June 7.
