X-Men: Dark Phoenix Trailer - 10 Things You Might've Missed

4. Magneto's White House Attack

Near the end of the trailer we see Magneto rifling through a drawer as he uncovers his classic Magneto mask, but if you keep your eyes peeled, you might notice a nostalgic keepsake underneath it.

A newspaper is briefly visible in the drawer with the byline, "News cameras capture White House...", which is almost definitely a reference to Magneto's attack on the White House from X-Men: Days of Future Past.

Considering the sequence in question specifically shows news cameras filming Magneto's epic speech, it can't be referring to anything else. Even though it happened almost 20 years prior, it's clearly stuck with Erik ever since.
