Dark Phoenix (2019)
A Phoenix will rise. The X-Men will fall.
The X-Men face their most formidable and powerful foe when one of their own, Jean Grey, starts to spiral out of control. During a rescue mission in outer space, Jean is nearly killed when she's hit by a mysterious cosmic force. Once she returns home, this force not only makes her infinitely more powerful, but far more unstable. The X-Men must now band together to save her soul and battle aliens that want to use Grey's new abilities to rule the galaxy.

What kind of watch this is
Dark Phoenix is a 2019 sci-fi action film where a cosmic event turns Jean Grey into an unstable powerhouse. Simon Kinberg directs this 114-minute entry, featuring Sophie Turner, James McAvoy, and Nicholas Hoult. The movie leans into the tagline that a Phoenix will rise while the team falls. It treats the power surge as a soul crisis rather than a simple battle. The stakes are galactic, but the conflict is personal.
What the critics said
Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 22% approval rating as of January 2026. That is the lowest score for any installment of the X-Men film series on the site. Metacritic assigns a 43 out of 100, a number that signals mixed or average reviews. The critical consensus is blunt: it takes a second stab at a classic arc with deeply disappointing results. William Bibbiani of TheWrap called it a disappointingly average superhero flick with a whole lot of missed opportunities. Owen Gleiberman of Variety saw a note of ominous majesty in Sophie Turner’s performance.
How it did with audiences
Dark Phoenix cost $200 million and took in $252 million worldwide. In the United States, it earned $62 million, while China added $59 million. Deadline Hollywood calculated a net loss of $133 million. That is a significant difference. On TMDB, users give it a 6. The audience did the math, and the math did not like the answer.
What came next for the cast
Before 2019, Sophie Turner was known for Game of Thrones and X-Men: Apocalypse. Afterward, she appeared in Do Revenge and The Staircase. James McAvoy moved from Split and X-Men: Days of Future Past to Speak No Evil, My Son, and The Bubble. Nicholas Hoult transitioned from Mad Max: Fury Road and X-Men: Days of Future Past to The Menu, Superman, and Nosferatu. Tye Sheridan went from Ready Player One and X-Men: Apocalypse to The Card Counter, Voyagers, and The Order. Credits do not prove causation, but they map the direction each career took.
