The trailer for X-Men: Dark Phoenix is finally here!

Cape Town – 20th Century Fox has released the first trailer for the much anticipated X-Men instalment Dark Phoenix. 

It’s been 10 years since the events of the last movie with Jean Grey (a.k.a. Dark Phoenix) delivering the last lethal blow.

Now Jean (Sophie Turner) is free to help rebuild the X-Men school, while honing her powers under the tutelage of Xavier, Beast, and Mystique.

However, an other-worldly threat emerges that could jeopardise both the fate of human and mutant kind.

When the world needs Dark Phoenix the most, Jean must confront her biggest adversary — herself — and face the Phoenix before it rips her apart from those she loves the most.

The film releases in SA cinemas on Friday, 15 February 2019.
