In what year was Dark Phoenix released?

The story behind the answer

Dark Phoenix was released in 2019.

The film is the fourth and final installment in the X-Men prequel series that began with X-Men: First Class. It focuses on Jean Grey after a space mission causes her to absorb a powerful cosmic force, intensifying her abilities and emotional instability.

Sophie Turner plays Jean Grey, with James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, and Nicholas Hoult returning from earlier prequel films. Simon Kinberg wrote and directed Dark Phoenix, making it his directorial debut after serving as a writer and producer on several X-Men projects.

Dark Phoenix was released after multiple production changes and reshoots. It is distinct from X-Men: The Last Stand, the 2006 film that also adapts elements of the Dark Phoenix comic-book storyline, though the two movies tell substantially different versions.
