MovieFone: Lost in all the hysterics over Albert Brooks's unbelievable snub by the Academy Awards on Tuesday morning was the fact that Michael Fassbender got dinged too! After all, the breakout leading man -- who appeared in four movies in 2011, including "X-Men: First Class," "Jane Eyre" and "A Dangerous Method" -- was expected to earn Oscar plaudits for his bracing work in "Shame," the sex addiction drama from Steve McQueen.
The Killer trailer arrives starring Michael Fassbender. The film is available in select theatres now with a Netflix launch to come.
X-Men: Dark Phoenix follows the X-Men as they face their most formidable and powerful foe: one of their own, Jean Grey. During a rescue mission in space, Jean is nearly killed when she is hit by a mysterious cosmic force. Once she returns home, this force not only makes her infinitely more powerful, but far more unstable. Wrestling with this entity inside her, Jean unleashes her powers in ways she can neither comprehend nor contain. With Jean spiraling out of control, and hurting the ones she loves most, she begins to unravel the very fabric that holds the X-Men together. Now, with this family falling apart, they must find a way to unite - not only to save Jean's soul, but to save our very planet from aliens who wish to weaponize this force and rule the galaxy.
Read on to find out the differences between Dark Phoenix and X-Men: The Last Stand, how faithful the film is to the comics, and meet the bad-ass new characters.
