"X-Men: Dark Phoenix" Chinese movie trailer: Phoenix girl turns evil and starts killing people

Today, the first trailer of the movie "X-Men: Dark Phoenix" was released. Previously, the official released a poster of "Phoenix Girl" Jean Grey, and called Dark Phoenix the "strongest mutant."

"X-Men: Dark Phoenix" is set in 1992, 10 years after the events of "X-Men: Apocalypse". At the beginning of "Dark Phoenix", Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence), Beast (Nicholas Hoult), Storm (Alexandra Shipp), Blue Devil (Kodi Smit-McPhee), and Quicksilver (Evan Peters) have an unexpected new role: a national hero.

Professor X (James McAvoy) even graced the cover of Time magazine, but his increasing ego put the team in danger. "He began to become complacent, pushing the X-Men to do more extreme tasks," the director said.

After the X-Men are sent into space on a rescue mission, a solar flare hits their plane, triggering a surge of energy that unleashes an evil, powerful force within Jean - the Phoenix Force.

Based in part on Chris Claremont's comics, the film will feature some of the biggest scenes in the X-Men franchise to date, including the first foray into space. It will also be the most sinister and dark film in the series, with a huge twist midway through the film that will irreversibly change the entire X-Men franchise.

"X-Men: Dark Phoenix" is directed by Simon Kinberg, the producer and screenwriter of the "X-Men" series, for the first time and will be released in North America on February 14, 2019.
