In anticipation of a NEW (second) trailer for DARK PHOENIX (drops somewhen Wednesday, U.S. time), comes the release of a new POSTER (featured above), which appeared after a "leaked" poster image (featured below / sans text) floated thru the www earlier.
And while I adored the first two films (directed by Bryan Singer), subsequent offerings had kept me on the fence ... but with the recent news of X-Men leaving FOX and "returning" to Marvel, I am looking forward to seeing the current incarnation, in a sort of closure to the years of "celluloid X-Men" I have been familiar with, at the very least on my -Men on Film fan-blog :)
SYNOPSIS: "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." (In U.S. Theaters June 7, 2019).
