The makers of 'X-Men: Dark Phoenix' dropped its final official trailer of the film on YouTube on Wednesday, April 17 and it looks promising. 20th Century Fox released the preview from the much-anticipated X-Men venture that will depict the journey of the powerful mutant Jean Grey, who becomes the possessor of immense powers after a space mission goes wrong.

The trailer stars the 'GOT' actress Sophie Turner as the supremely powerful mutant and showcases how the X-Men had to face her Phoenix powers following the incident. X-men characters including Cyclops, Mystique, Beast, Storm, and Nightcrawler are seen coming together as a malevolent, power-hungry force takes over Jean Grey's mind.

Set nearly a decade after the events of 'X-Men: Apocalypse', the X-Men in this upcoming venture are considered as national heroes. The trailer starts with Grey and the X-men team going on a space rescue mission when a solar flare hits them and Jean Grey loses control of her abilities and unleashes the Phoenix.

 As informed in the previous trailers, Jene at a very young age unaware of her supreme powers comes to Professor Charles Xavier for help. However, things take a toll when she feels betrayed by the former and seeks out counsel from Michael Fassbender’s Magneto. 

Jean who accidentally caused a car crash as a child, grew up to be a young woman with limitless cosmic powers. Being an Omega-level mutant with the physical manifestation of the cosmic Phoenix Force, she is one of the strongest mutant the 'X-Men' series has ever witnessed.

Describing Jene's character in a previous trailer, Professor X said, "She's all rage, pain, and it's all coming out at once."
