-Let's talk about this. "Dark Phoenix."
[ Cheers and applause ]
That's you right there, shrouded in secrecy.
-Yes. -What could, yeah...
-Do I look ominous?
-You definitely do. I'm like...
I know with these big superhero movies,
you're not really allowed to talk about much.
So I'll just...
-Although I probably just gave away a spoiler for it.
But let me tell you guys about it.
-Did you always want to be in one of these big movies?
-Yeah, I've always --
I've always wanted to do every genre.
I wanted to be in Westerns and comedies and sci-fi
and, you know, comic book, and so...
But I wanted to be a character that got to wear cool clothes
and has special powers.
I mean, if you're going to do a comic-book movie,
you want to move stuff with your mind.
Right? -Yeah, you want to do stuff.
-Yeah, and, like, kill people and all that fun --
-Fun stuff. -Yeah.
Not fun in real life, but fun in play.
-Yeah. -So, yeah, I was excited.
Someone else told me, too,
the protagonist and antagonist of our movie are female.
And that's pretty cool.
-Absolutely. -Yep.
[ Cheers and applause ]
And I'm the antagonist.
-What is the plot of this film?
-Well, it's the "Dark Phoenix" saga.
So, of course, Sophie Turner, our Dark Phoenix.
-We love Sophie Turner. -Yes.
-"Game of Thrones." -Obsessed.
-"Game of Throne" fans.
-Obsessed, obsessed, obsessed.
If anything happens to her in the finale,
I'm gonna break stuff.
-We're giving all the spoilers away.
-I play this character from another world,
and I come to Earth
because Miss Jean Grey has a power
that I want to harness for my own uses.
-Yeah. And so, is her power for good or for evil?
-Well, I think the power is for good,
but other people might think it's for evil.
I get to beat up a lot of X-Men in the movie.
-You do? -Maybe kill some.
-Whoa! This is unbelievable.
You are dropping so many spoilers.
-I didn't say I definitely do.
-I know, but it was just such a good...
-Maybe someone lives, maybe someone dies.
-Someone dies? I don't...
Oh, my gosh, this is so exciting.
-It's an intense movie, but we had fun.
-You brought us something, because --
I appreciate you guys doing this in the studio.
We have an exclusive first look at a new trailer
for "Dark Phoenix" no one's seen yet.
Here we go. "Dark Phoenix."
"Dark Phoenix." Check it out right now.

-Jean, look.
You're special.
And if you stop fighting that force inside of you,
you will possess the very power of a god.
Are you scared, little girl who answers to a man in a chair?
Or are you the most powerful creature on the planet?
♪♪
-Yeah!
[ Cheers and applause ]
-What a good cast. -Amazing.
-Amazing cast.
We've had everybody on the show, but James McAvoy is pretty fun.
-Oh, my gosh. I've done three movies with James.
I love him, but I will tell you this,
when we were shooting X-Men,"
I showed up and I thought, "We're gonna have a great time."
And he was super serious. -Oh, yeah.
-He was, like, in the chair and he was all intense.
And I thought, "I have got to mess with him
because this is not the James McAvoy I know."
So I played a little joke on him when we were shooting.
-What'd you do?
-I, um, so he was doing a scene,
and it was very intense and he's, like, emotional and in it.
And then after he got his take and it was great,
the director said, "Okay, we're gonna move on."
And at the next take, he's in it, and he's acting,
and then all of a sudden, the "Macarena" starts playing.
[ Laughter ]
And his character's on wires, and he gets lifted up.
And the people on the wires
start making him do the "Macarena."
[ Laughter ]
-Did he know it was you?
-He knew it was me
because Sophie and I were upstairs going,
♪ Hey, Macarena ♪
And then he grabbed these -- on the wires -- he grabbed me
and he kind of lifts me up and I realized at one point
we started swinging.
I thought, "Okay, now I could actually die."
-Did he ever get you back?
-Not yet, but I dare him
because I got lots of tricks up my sleeves.
Go on. Go on, McAvoy, you just try.
-Try, McAvoy.
Guys, "Dark Phoenix" will be in theaters on June 7th.
