Game Of Thrones' Sophie Turner takes on the lead role in the film, as her character Jean Grey comes to the forefront. Sophie previously played Jean Grey in 2016's X Men: Apocalypse, with Famke Janssen playing her in the previous X-Men films.
Set in 1992, Dark Phoenix takes place 10 years after the events of X-Men: Apocalypse and sees Jean Grey lose control of her powers after the X-Men are hit by a solar flare during a space rescue mission, unleashing her alter-ego, the eponymous Dark Phoenix.
Sophie Turner has also revealed that this film is 'a lot more emotion-based' than previous movies in the franchise, telling Digital Spy that 'There are, of course, those supernatural elements, but this one is really character-driven – a really emotional story about a girl battling with a deadly mix of mental health problems and being a superhero.'
The film also stars James McAvoy as Charles Xavier/Professor X, Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique and Michael Fassbender as Magneto. Jessica Chastain also joins the cast in a new role as an alien shapeshifter who has been described as 'the devil on Jean's shoulder'.
