Watched the trailer and ... it doesn't look good, unfortunately.

It looks exactly like X-Men 3. Now that Disney bought Fox they will just reboot everything, and this film, like all the original X-Men films, will be forgotten about.

The X-Men in space thing definitely does not appeal to me. It's too silly for the universe of the films. I'm glad we don't see any of it in this trailer. I like that it looks quite grounded.

Watch the Russian trailer. It’s far more interesting.

Though I think this one is okay.

also strangely reminiscent of "X-Men 3"

I liked it. Nothing groundbreaking - for an X-Men film - or super exciting, but it looks wondrous... and bleak. I do concur that the Dark Phoenix stuff is oddly reminiscent of The Last Stand (not quite comic accurate). Let’s hope that’s not the case!

How much the movie will be set in space (if at all) is left to be seen. However, if it does go that route, silly is the last thing I would consider it as long as it’s handled well. Keeping it more grounded instead? While that would perhaps appeal more to the big boys that find too much comic/fantasy elements immature for them, an epic X-Men film that looks like it’s straight out of the pages of a great comic book would be excellent. If the movie is good though, it can take any tone it feels necessary.

In any event, seeing as how they’re currently doing exstensive reshoots for Dark Phoenix (more than is the norm apparently), it’s possible the final film won’t resemble this trailer a whole lot. So come what may, hopefully this movie will not only do the Dark Phoenix Saga justice, but hoping it’s a worthy conclusion to this X-Men universe

It just doesn’t make sense to me.

DOFP seemed to set it up with Logan going back to the future, that Charles didn’t mess with Jeans head and she was in control (her hair colour and attitude make it seem that way). This seemingly because past Charles read Logan’s mind and saw his own mistakes with Jean and how that kinda screws everything up and a lot of people die.

Then in Apocalypse we get it again. Charles talking to Jean and him seemingly helping her come into her power and control it. Not by messing with her mind but by not holding her back and trusting her.

Now this trailer seems to be showing Charles going “nah stuff that” and blocking Jean mind again and messing with her head.

I think they fully planned on doing more with this story. But maybe when they started getting into talks about selling, they doubled down on the effort and are just putting something together to wrap it up as they already had it planned and started.

They should have cut their loses after Apocalypse. Stuck with making movies set in the X-Men universe but be their own enclosed story. That seems to be doing well for them.

I don’t know why they gave the film to a first-time director like Kinberg ... seriously crazy.

“Deadpool” was small-scale, low-budget and was worth the risk, whereas “Dark Phoenix” could kill the main movie X-Men brand.
