It looks like we may finally be seeing theDark Phoenixtrailer arrive online in the very near future. Had things gone the way they were originally supposed to go, the latestX-Menmovie would have been debuting in theaters this November. However, reshoots caused Fox to shift around the schedule, with the movie now scheduled to arrive in early 2019. But fans have been wondering where the trailer is and why we haven’t seen a teaser yet. The question of why remains less clear, but the question of when may very well have been answered.
A post made by 20th Century Fox to the Chinese social networking site Weibo has fueled speculation that the trailer forDark Phoenixwill arrive later this week. The photo isn’t new and features most of the major players from theX-Menuniverse gathered together around the time thatApocalypse,Loganand the firstDeadpoolwere being promoted. The post teased that something is coming in three days. It’s tough to imagine this is anything but the trailer we’ve been waiting for.
Rumors have circulated previously of the trailer possibly arriving, but there is further circumstantial evidence to support the idea that the teaser will show up online this week. For one, a version of the trailer was recently shown at an event in Russia, with a very poor quality cell phone video of the footage making its way online via Reddit. So the trailer is absolutely ready to go and, with the release date just a handful of months away, it’s time to finally show the world what director Simon Kinberg has cooked up.
BothDark PhoenixandThe New Mutantshad major reshoots ordered by Fox, with both projects being delayed significantly. Though,New Mutantshas been delayed multiple times and based on what we’ve heard, it sounds like that movie could be in worse shape. In any case, Simon Kinberg, who has been a long time writer and producer of theX-Menmovies, makes his directorial debut with what could very well be the final movie in the series, as the Disney purchase of Fox looms. There were concerns of Kinberg taking on such a massive project as his directorial debut. Whether or not those concerns turn out to be warranted remains to be seen.
The general consensus seems to be that the studio could attach the trailer to the theatrical release ofVenom, which is set for October 5. Studios almost always released the trailers online ahead of time these days, so don’t be shocked to see theDark Phoenixtrailer pop up online in the next few days. If it is indeed finally making its way online, we’ll be sure to bring it to you as soon as its made available, in addition to any other developments.Dark Phoenixis set to arrive in theaters on Jul 13, 2025.
