No one really likes X-Men: The Last Stand—if you do, I don’t believe you. The screenwriter of that film, longtime X-Men film producer Simon Kinberg, is trying that story again in his directorial debut, the Apocalypse follow-up simply titled Dark Phoenix. The first trailer debuted during Wednesday night’s episode of The Late Late Show, and it shows all of your favorite young mutants returning.
Those familiar with the comics lore (or even The Last Stand and Apocalypse) know that Jean Grey (here played by Sophie Turner) struggles to control the powerful entity known as the Phoenix Force, which the conflict of Dark Phoenix centers around. Along with the usual Charles/Professor X (James McAvoy), Erik/Magneto (Michael Fassbender), Hank/Beast (Nicolas Hoult), and Raven/Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence), a mysterious alien portrayed by Jessica Chastain acts as one of the many players fighting to control Jean Grey and her enhanced power.
