The film will roll out in two weeks but the stars and filmmakers behind X-Men: Dark Phoenix are already on the promotional trailer in London. As well as taking to some of the city’s big landmarks, the likes of James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jessica Chastain, Sophie Turner and writer/director Simon Kinberg attended a special fan event with on-stage Q+A last night.
20th Century Fox
In DARK PHOENIX, the X-MEN face their most formidable and powerful foe: one of their own, Jean Grey. During a rescue mission in space, Jean is nearly killed when she is hit by a mysterious cosmic force. Once she returns home, this force not only makes her infinitely more powerful, but far more unstable. Wrestling with this entity inside her, Jean unleashes her powers in ways she can neither comprehend nor contain. With Jean spiraling out of control, and hurting the ones she loves most, she begins to unravel the very fabric that holds the X-Men together. Now, with this family falling apart, they must find a way to unite — not only to save Jean’s soul, but to save our very planet from aliens who wish to weaponize this force and rule the galaxy.
We have some video from the fan event features highlights from the evening. Take a look below. X-Men: Dark Phoenix opens in cinemas from 5th June by 20th Century Fox.
