X-Men: Apocalypse Final Trailer - 10 Major Plots Hints

7. Jean Grey Unleashes Her Powers

X-Men Apocalypse Jean Grey
20th Century Fox

Quite a few of the mutants get to have their moment here, with a better look at the previously seen fight scenes between Beast and Psylocke, and more excitingly the incredible-looking battle between Cyclops and Storm.

Jean Grey, though, takes more of a backseat, which is a slightly strange decision (in a marketing sense) given she's played by Sophie Turner, and Game of Thrones has just returned. We do get one brief moment that looks as though she's fully unleashing her power, though, which is going to be awesome and maybe a little bit terrifying.

A proper version of the Dark Phoenix arc is rumoured to be heading to screens after Apocalypse, so it's likely that this film will start putting a few elements in place for that, and seeing Jean cut loose and unleash her powers - however developed they are at this stage - looks like being a big part of that.
