The second trailer for X-Men: Dark Phoenix has arrived.
Watch it up top.
The first trailer for the movie dropped back in September of 2018. Watch it below if you missed it.
The movie, which is directed by Simon Kinberg, will star Sophie Turner, Jennifer Lawrence, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jessica Chastain, Tye Sheridan, Nicholas Hoult, Evan Peters, Alexandra Shipp, and Kodi Smit-McPhee.
Prior to the release of the full trailer, Chastain debuted a first look while on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Director Simon Kinberg spoke about the film’s latest trailer and the death of Jennifer Lawrence’s character Mystique. “Well, the thought process behind that was to primarily show that this is a movie that is unlike other X-Men movies,” Kinberg told Entertainment Weekly. “It’s a movie where shocking things happen, where intense, dramatic things happen. People don’t just fall off buildings and dust themselves off and walk away. There’s a reality to this movie and a consequence to this movie. Even more than that, it was to show that Jean/Dark Phoenix is genuinely a threat to everyone, including the X-Men.”
Kinberg continued: “I had a lot of emotions about it. I was obviously sad about it, as Jen’s friend, and also as a fan of Jen as an actress. But I felt it was the strongest, most dramatic thing for the movie, and sometimes you have to make those kinds of hard decisions to service the larger story. And the larger story really is Jean cracking up, losing control because she’s more powerful than anyone else in the world. To dramatize that properly, you have to show real loss, you have to show real pain and show real threat and menace. “
Dark Phoenix will hit theaters on June 7, 2019.
