It seems fans might finally get their first glimpse at X-Men: Dark Phoenix through its first trailer very soon. The film has been the subject of a lot of reports lately including one that claimed that the Disney-20th Century Fox deal will likely result in the film getting scrapped in order to give Marvel Studios a blank slate. But, thankfully, X-Men: Dark Phoenix is pretty much alive and kicking.
The Flick reporter Nikita Byrkin revealed in a recent tweet that 20th Century Fox showcased the first X-Men: Dark Phoenix trailer during its massive promotional presentation in St. Petersburg, Russia. Unfortunately, the tweet didn’t give any details about how the trailer was or what was shown in the trailer. You can check out the tweet below.
Notably, Marvel Studios has already released the trailer for its upcoming film Captain Marvel which is due to release in March of 2019. X-Men: Dark Phoenix is scheduled to come out over the Valentine’s Day weekend, one month before Captain Marvel. So, it’s high time that the filmmakers release the first Dark Phoenix trailer.
The cast of X-Men: Dark Phoenix is currently undergoing reshoots in Montreal, Canada. Last week, we came across some set pictures which showed Sophie Turner’s Jean Grey rehearsing a fight scene with Jessica Chastain’s still-unidentified villain. Chastain is rumored to be playing a shapeshifting Skrull, who has telepathic and telekinetic powers. The film’s reshoots are expected to continue for around two-and-a-half weeks.
X-Men: Dark Phoenix is the big screen interpretation of the Dark Phoenix Saga comic book storyline. Directed by Simon Kinberg, the film stars also Tye Sheridan as Cyclops, James McAvoy as Professor Xavier, Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, Michael Fassbender as Magneto, Nicholas Hoult as Beast, Alexandra Ship as Storm, Evan Peters as Quicksilver and Kodi Smit-McPhee as Nightcrawler.
X-Men: Dark Phoenix is currently set to arrive in theaters February 14, 2019.
