‘Dark Phoenix’ footage description from NYCC

Despite the movie’s delay, they still screened a major chunk of footage, and ComicBook.com’s own Brandon Davis was on hand to document the exclusive preview.

Here’s what he said about the Dark Phoenix footage:

A spaceship blasts off after a countdown. It rockets into space. The footage is dated. In a control room, a woman stands above people who are watching. A man picks something up on his radar. Then another. They report their findings to the woman. The astronauts call a problem to Houston.

Professor X and Beast are watching from the X-Mansion. Hank insists they can’t get involved with this because they’re not built to fly.

The President gives Charles a call from a phone designated with an “X” from his Oval Office.
