Quicksilver saves & Magneto threatens in new Dark Phoenix clips

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Although THE NEW MUTANTS is still on the slate for an April 2020 release, the upcoming DARK PHOENIX will serve as the conclusion to Fox's X-MEN saga now that Disney has taken over. After nearly being killed by a mysterious cosmic force in space, Jean Grey (Sophie Turner) returns home to find that this force has made her infinitely more powerful, but also far more unstable. Unable to control her new powers, the X-Men struggle with whether to save or destroy Jean Grey for the sake of human and mutant-kind. 20 Century Fox has released two new clips from DARK PHOENIX, one of which finds Quicksilver (Evan Peters) coming to the rescue of the crew of a space shuttle, and another which finds Professor X (James McAvoy) facing off against Magneto (Michael Fassbender), who demands the death of Jean Grey.

The official synopsis for DARK PHOENIX:

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 Jeanâ??s soul, but to save our very planet from aliens who wish to weaponize this force and rule the galaxy.

DARK PHOENIX will hit theaters on June 7, 2019.
