After a copy recorded on a cell phone leaked online last night, the first trailer for the massively delayed final main film in the Fox X-Men movie franchise, Dark Phoenix, will be premiered by Sophie Turner (Jean Grey) on The Late Late Show with James Corden tonight!
It seems like a lot of people are down on this franchise and ready for these characters to be rebooted in the MCU, but this is the culmination of 20 years of fandom for me and many others. Here's hoping it ends with a bang!
Honestly, I have a bad feeling about this movie, but the fact that this is the last time I'll be sitting around hyped up for an X-Men trailer to drop has me genuinely bummed out. On an unrelated note, one of my biggest regret is we didn't get a Wolverine/Deadpool team up. I still can't believe Jackman didn't at least cameo in the first Deadpool. Oh well.
Note - New Mutants, Gambit, and Deadpool 3/X-Force are all still supposedly to come from Fox, but I would consider those spin-offs. Dark Phoenix is definitely the last film from Fox featuring the central X-Men characters.
PS - For what it's worth, watching First Class, X1-X3, The Wolverine, and Days of Future Past in that order is amazing and I like the way the new cast bookends it. Not to mention DOFP has the PERFECT happy ending to the series. The first Wolverine was trash, Apocalypse wasn't much better, and Logan was amazing but depressing af.
