It seems Magneto (Michael Fassbender) has built a sanctuary of sorts for mutantkind, but when the military comes for Jean Grey, things get choppy.
Dark Phoenix is the story of one of the X-Men's most beloved characters, Jean Grey, as she evolves into the iconic mutant slayer of planets. During a life-threatening rescue mission in space, Jean is hit by a cosmic force that transforms her into one of the most powerful mutants of all. Wrestling with this increasingly unstable power as well as her own personal demons, Jean spirals out of control, tearing the X-Men family apart and threatening to destroy the very fabric of our planet. The film is the most intense and emotional X-Men movie ever made. It is the culmination of 20 years of X-Men movies, as the family of mutants that we've come to know and love must face their most devastating enemy yet -- one of their own.
The film stars Sophie Turner, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Tye Sheridan, Alexandra Shipp, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Evan Peters, and Jessica Chastain and is written and directed by Simon Kinberg.
