The new trailer of the upcoming X-Men film, titled Dark Phoenix, hit the internet earlier in the day. The better-than-the-previous-one trailer is a huge spoiler as it reveals that Mystique, played by Jennifer Lawrence, will die in the movie. It also introduces us to the new villain played by Jessica Chastain. And honestly, we have never seen more mixed reactions to a movie than this. The internet is divided over how people feel about the upcoming superhero film. Some are looking forward to the film more than ever before. Some are devastated. Some just don't care.
Dark Phoenix has been production hell for some time now. Reshoots for the movie were ordered by the studio. The release of the film was stalled. Three sets of test audiences have rejected the movie, as per reports. To top all that, this might be the final X-Men movie made by Fox Studios before the franchise heads to Marvel Studios. Dark Phoenix: Not Just Mystique, More X-Men to Be Killed in the Movie, Hints Jessica Chastain - Watch Video.
So a lot is riding on the shoulders of this one. Will the hard work of the cast and crew pay off. Read the following tweets on the new trailer and see, if you can make a guess:
dark phoenix stinks! at least the first two x-men movies built jean as a character before her phoenix turn. give us shit we havent seen before! fuck!

Dark Phoenix Trailer Thoughts:
So they showed Mystique dying? 🤔
Have they literally just remade X-Men 3? 🤔
Is there any point in this film seeing as Disney now basically own X-Men? 🤔
Do I care? 🤔#DarkPhoenix

Looks like Dark Phoenix will be continuing the long tradition of Magneto being the only interesting part of an X-Men movie.

Dark Phoenix is going to be a top tier bad movie and honestly I can’t wait to watch this train wreck

If Sophie kills Jennifer Lawerence in Dark Phoenix, I may be able to get past how much I hate Sansa.

They could approximate the right emotional beats in X-Men 3 because they’d spent some time establishing Jean and Logan but this version doesn’t even carry that level of gravitas. The whole thing has been horribly rushed.

They didn’t even try to hide the spoilers in that Dark Phoenix trailer.

I watched the DARK PHOENIX trailer and it occurs to me that I legitimately no longer understand the chronology of this franchise. Furthermore, I do not care to sort it out, nor would I be interested in having it explained to me.

So, there's that. As we said, the reactions to the new trailer of Dark Phoenix are mixed, to say the least. We are still going to watch the movie like everyone else. If this is the final movie, may it be worth it.
