The first trailer for Dark Phoenix is here, and the latest X-Men movie is going in a very different direction. The trailer dropped during an episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden, where Dark Phoenix star Sophie Turner was a guest. Although we`re still almost half a year away from the film hitting theaters, the first trailer showed off quite a bit of the movie.Dark Phoenix follows the story of Jean Grey (Sophie Turner) as a young girl who manifests mutant abilities.

In the comics, Jean manifested her powers when she was around eight years old after her friend was hit by a car and killed right in front of her. Jean sits in Xavier`s office. We can hear McAvoy say, `The mind is a fragile thing.` He continues saying that even a slight tap can move it in the wrong direction. Foreshadowing! What is this moment that causes Jean to break? We saw some of her Dark Phoenix powers in 2016`s X-Men: Apocalypse. Could that have unlock ...
