X-Men: Dark Phoenix

"X-Men: Dark Phoenix" is a 2019 American superhero film written and directed by Simon Kinberg, serving as the twelfth installment in the X-Men film series and concluding the prequel trilogy. The narrative centers on Jean Grey (Sophie Turner), who, during a 1992 space rescue mission, is struck by a cosmic force that amplifies her psychic powers beyond control. Struggling with her enhanced abilities, Jean confronts traumatic memories and emotional instability, leading to tragic events, including the accidental death of Raven Darkhölme (Jennifer Lawrence). Seeking assistance, she turns to Erik Lehnsherr (Michael Fassbender) on the island of Genosha, but her actions incite conflict between mutants and military forces. Meanwhile, an alien race called the D'Bari, led by Vuk (Jessica Chastain), aims to exploit Jean's power for their own ends. In the film's climax, Jean sacrifices herself to destroy Vuk and save her friends, after which the school for gifted youngsters is renamed in her honor. The film received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $252.4 million against a $200 million budget, making it one of the franchise's most financially disappointing entries.
