While the biggest threat to the current X-Men comes from Disney taking over Fox and all but certain to go in a new direction with most of the mutant properties, the characters are facing cinematic peril from one of their own: Sophie Turner's Jean Grey. The new trailer for Dark Phoenix has arrived for your viewing needs...
Dark Phoenix sees regular X-Men movie writer (and now director) Simon Kinberg looking to give the Dark Phoenix storyline its proper due, and a whole film in which to show how Jean's powers are affected by a cosmic accident. Old, difficult truths are dredged up (particularly for James McAvoy's Professor Xavier) and as Jean's abilities increase, her ties to her human side start to waver, especially with the influence of Jessica Chastain's mysterious alien.
All of this is set against the backdrop of the 1990s, with the X-Men now considered heroes, regularly saving humans and generally praised by society at large. But that could all change with the lethal combo of Xavier's ego and Jean's growing capabilities.
The new film flies into cinemas on 7 June.
