So it seems that they are going to tell DARK PHOENIX’s story right this time, but at the same time, looking at the trailer, I can’t help but wonder if they’re going down the dark and gritty DC style of storytelling. Which was just one of the things that made DC the butt of the joke for a long time. I’m feeling pretty neutral about this movie coming out, but I can only hope that I’ll be pleasantly surprised with what it really is.

Here’s the official synopsis from the video on YouTube:

In DARK PHOENIX, the X-MEN face their most formidable and powerful foe: one of their own, Jean Grey. During a rescue mission in space, Jean is nearly killed when she is hit by a mysterious cosmic force. Once she returns home, this force not only makes her infinitely more powerful, but far more unstable. Wrestling with this entity inside her, Jean unleashes her powers in ways she can neither comprehend nor contain. With Jean spiraling out of control, and hurting the ones she loves most, she begins to unravel the very fabric that holds the X-Men together. Now, with this family falling apart, they must find a way to unite -- not only to save Jean's soul, but to save our very planet from aliens who wish to weaponize this force and rule the galaxy.
