While Fox only has a few comic book films left before the Marvel properties move to Disney, it looks like they’re going out with a bang. It has been confirmed that the first trailer to the upcoming X-Men: Dark Phoenix has debuted at CineEurope.
While the trailer has yet to be released online, Kinometro stated that ,
“The fantastic action thriller Dark Phoenix looks better than expected. At the presentation, this new trailer was shown, getting rid of the excessive gloom of the teaser and clearly positioning the project as a direct continuation of the X-Men.”
While the film was originally slated to hit theaters this November, it has been moved to February 14, 2019. Evan Peters, spoke to Collider regarding the film and stated that the film will be darker than X-Men: Apocalypse.
“I think it’s the classic X-Men: First Class tone, where there’s a bit of humor thrown in there, but it’s much darker than the previous one, Apocalypse,” Peters shared. “Apocalypse was the ‘80s, so there was a lot of room for goofy stuff in there. This one is a much more serious film about the internal struggle of Phoenix and Jean, so it’s a dramatic film. There’s nothing very comedic about it, other than the few moments that are in there. I think it’s gonna be a powerful one. It’s Dark Phoenix. I think it’s gonna be darker than we’re used to. It’s gonna be a change, but it’s gonna be fun for everybody.”
X-Men: Dark Phoenix will be released in 2019.
