Article
Dark Phoenix (marketed internationally and released on home media as X-Men: Dark Phoenix) is a 2019 American superhero film based on Marvel Comics featuring the superhero team the X-Men. It is a sequel to X-Men: Apocalypse (2016), the twelfth installment in the X-Men film series, and the fourth and final installment of the prequel films. It marks the first main X-Men film without the involvement of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, and the last to be produced by Bad Hat Harry Productions, though the company was uncredited due to sexual assault allegations made against Bryan Singer in 2019. Written and directed by Simon Kinberg, it stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Sophie Turner, Tye Sheridan, Alexandra Shipp, and Jessica Chastain .
Dark Phoenix tells the origin story about how Jean Grey becomes the Phoenix. The story revolves around Jean struggling with mental illness after a cosmic force enhances her psychic powers. It follows Jean as she tries to avoid hurting the people she loves, while other parties seek to control or kill her.
