Dark Phoenix is a 2019 superhero film directed by Simon Kinberg, based on the Marvel Comics storyline “The Dark Phoenix Saga.” It is the twelfth installment in the X-Men film series and stars Sophie Turner as Jean Grey, alongside James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, and Jessica Chastain.
The story is set in the 1990s and follows the X-Men as they undertake a mission in space to rescue a team of astronauts. During the mission, Jean is exposed to a cosmic force that amplifies her telepathic and telekinetic powers but also unleashes her darker side. As she grapples with her newfound abilities, Jean becomes increasingly unstable, leading to conflict within the X-Men and putting everyone she loves at risk.
The film explores themes of identity, power, and the struggle between good and evil, focusing on Jean’s transformation and the impact it has on her relationships with her fellow mutants.
Dark Phoenix received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for its performances, particularly Sophie Turner’s portrayal of Jean Grey, but criticism for its pacing and execution of the storyline. Despite its challenges, the film aims to provide a deeper emotional exploration of one of the most iconic arcs in the X-Men franchise.
