X-Men: Dark Phoenix Trailer Reactions - 3 Ups And 7 Downs
1. Keeping Jessica Chastain A Mystery
While adding more Jessica Chastain into this trailer might've made for an extra jolt of excitement, since she's one of the best actresses in the world right now, there's something to be applauded in Fox's restraint with regards to her character here.
At the moment we don't really know much about who she's playing, other than her being called 'Smith' (for now), and that she'll be a villain. Since she's involved in reshoots we can assume her slight role in this trailer isn't simply because she has a small role, but rather they're keeping things a mystery.
Her line to Jean Grey about not belonging is an intriguing little tease, and that's all it needs right now, especially in an age when studios give so much away right from the off.
