DARK PHOENIX Final Trailer: ‘She’s Not Jean Anymore…’

While it’ll be a bit of a wait until Marvel brings the X-Men back to the big screen following Disney’s acquisition of all things 20th Century Fox, Simon Kinberg is still carrying the torch for the franchise with its current finale, Dark Phoenix, arriving on June 7. The final trailer is online with Sophie Turner back in the spotlight for a second outing as the troubled coming-of-age telepath. People will definitely get killed off in this X-Men finale which ought to further solidify things. It’s raised questions and concerns with other comic book fans but I’m neutral there. What’s important is that this film retcons the franchise some after X-Men: The Last Stand in what looks to be a fitting canonical send-off before any talk of a franchise reboot or more Wolverine and so on.

X-MEN: DARK PHOENIX Sees A Heroine On The Brink In The Official Trailer

Without question, director Bryan Singer has done some incredible work on the X-Men saga dating back to the early two-thousandies. Recent events and troubling revelations may or may have not dampened his prospects on the franchise – I’m not at all certain, though fans weren’t exactly keen on seeing Simon Kinberg take the mantle either. The comments at the time were, in a word, passionate. At any rate – it is what it is – and forthwith, 20th Century Fox has begun its key campaign with all the initial assets for X-Men: Dark Phoenix. Stemming from the pages of Marvel, the franchise segues back in tow with featured actress Sophie Turner succeeding her performance in the pivotal 2016 franchise entry, X-Men: Apocalypse, in which Professor Charles Xavier compels our heroine to relinquish her power in dispelling the villainous supermutant in the effort of teamwork. Suffice it to say, the next […]

When news broke last year that Simon Kinberg was going to direct an X-Men movie, the news wasn’t met with a lot of optimism on my end from folks who’ve said something on it. Personally, I didn’t know what to believe even though he’d worked on at least three X-Men titles in addition to having been involved with Bryan Singer’s canonical inductions with Days Of Future Past and Apocalypse. Is that a referendum of some kind? Nah. I have rather enjoyed Fox’s little corner of the MCU sans Brett Ratner’s The Last Stand, and especially with regard to Singer’s work from the very beginning. So, I’m keen on giving Kinberg a chance with whatever lies ahead for X-Men: Dark Phoenix, and judging by what’s discussed over at Entertainment Weekly’s exclusive pictorals, it looks like he’s doing alright by the fans thusfar. Sophie Turner returns to in the title role with […]

I honestly didn’t expect director Kyle Newman‘s latest fish-out-of-water action comedy, Barely Lethal, to be so obscure in the past year or more. Thankfully though, the film isn’t too far off from its forthcoming DVD/Blu-Ray and Digital releases next month, with actress Hailee Steinfeld starring as a young, highly trained spy on a whimsical quest of self-discovery on what it’s like to be a “normal” teenage girl. The film did hit some high notes among early audiences otherwise gracing the film its approval, and if you like watching Samuel L. Jackson and Jessica Alba, this one ought to be enjoyable for the family. Observe the official specs below and watch the latest trailer courtesy of Lionsgate Unlocked. A teenage undercover agent discovers graduating from high school may be a bigger challenge than being an international spy in the action comedy Barely Lethal, arriving on Blu-ray™ (plus Digital HD) and DVD (plus […]
