Twentieth Century Fox's upcoming X-Men movie, Dark Phoenix, screens the first continuous footage at New York Comic Con 2018 - we offer a full description of the sequence that was shown. Dark Phoenix is ultimately the culmination of the rebooted X-Men franchise, which kicked off with X-Men: First Class. But, since X-Men: Days of Future Past united the timeline with that of the original trilogy, all of Fox's Marvel movies exist within the same universe.
Most recently within the mainline X-Men movies, X-Men: Apocalypse introduced a younger team of heroes, who now return for Dark Phoenix. The movie adapts the fan-favorite Dark Phoenix Saga storyline from the comics, which was last brought to life in X-Men: The Last Stand - though it wasn't well received by critics or fans. For this film, longtime X-Men movie producer Simon Kinberg takes the helm, directing Dark Phoenix. In order to promote the summer 2019 release of the latest X-Men installment, Kingberg appeared on a Fox NYCC panel along with producer Hutch Parker and stars Sophie Turner and Tye Sheridan. During the panel, Kinberg and Parker debuted the first continues footage from Dark Phoenix from early on in the film, though not the very beginning of the movie.
In the Dark Phoenix footage, the X-Men are an established team at this point in time and when the NASA space shuttle Endeavor gets knocked off course in space, the United States President calls Professor Charles Xavier - on an X-Men branded landline phone - in order to receive the team's help. Though Hank McCoy is doubtful the X-Jet is able to get to space, the team follows Raven's lead (though she has reservations of her own) and heads out on the rescue mission. Once in space, Raven directs the other members of the team on how to use their powers to save the NASA shuttle crew from where their ship is trapped spinning nearby a red-orange energy mass. Although the X-Men are able to save the shuttle team, Jean gets left behind and she absorbs what's described as a solar flare. Another flare almost hits the X-Jet but Jean redirects it, and absorbs it as well. The X-Men recover Jean and take her home, where she says she's fine. After the mission, Raven and Professor X get into an argument about taking too many risks to save humans.
