Jean agrees (and Cyclops backs her up) despite Mystique's concerns, and the two Bamf over. Mystique wants to abort the mission and return home with the astronauts they do have, but Charles insists they can't leave anyone behind, telling Jean that she has the power to hold the ship together while Nightcrawler finds the commander. While they're grabbing the astronauts, Storm uses her power to seal up the cracks in the hull letting the air out of the ship, but the shuttle's commander is missing. Cyclops takes a lift down into the bowels of the ship where a periscope-esque contraption allows him to focus his optic blast out without damaging the ship, slowing down the shuttle enough that Nightcrawler and Quicksilver can teleport across to rescue the stranded crew. When they reach the shuttle, it's spinning out of control (and dangerously close to a strange red-gold cloud that's slowly approaching - which fans will recognize as the Phoenix Force), so Mystique directs Cyclops to blast the shuttle's thruster to slow it down. The president himself has requested the X-Men's assistance, and we see Charles Xavier going into Cerebro and tapping into NASA's Mission Control, talking directly to the folks on the ground while also communicating with the X-team as they race into space. The first scene, which clocks in around 10 minutes, sees the X-Men (Beast, Mystique, Nightcrawler, Storm, Quicksilver, Cyclops, and Jean Grey) taking off in the X-Jet to assist a space shuttle that has lost power following an inexplicable solar flare. Fans at WonderCon got an early look at two pivotal scenes from X-Men: Dark Phoenix ahead of the sequel's June 7 release - so if you want to go into what could be Fox's final X-Men movie relatively unspoiled, turn back now.
