MANILA, Philippines – Fans were given their first glimpse of the upcoming X-Men: Dark Phoenix movie, which stars Game of Thrones’ Sophie Turner as telepath Jean Grey.
The photo, shown on the cover of Entertainment Weekly’s December 2017 First Look issue, shows Sophie as Jean all aglow with flames for locks, and her skin radiating with fiery cracks.
Dark Phoenix will focus on Jean Grey, whose alter-ego, Phoenix, is among the most powerful characters in the X-Men franchise. In the film, Jean/Phoenix struggles with a dark inner force as she strengthens her powers.
More photos show Jessica Chastain stepping in as the movie’s villain. Jessica will play a shapeshifter who uses Phoenix for her own benefit.
