X-Men Dark Phoenix Gets a 90s Animated YouTube Fan Trailer

In September, 20th Century Fox released the first trailer for Dark Phoenix. Now a fan has taken that trailer and recreated it using footage from X-Men: The Animated Series.

The trailer, which can be seen above, was created by YouTuber Darth Blender. It uses the audio from the Dark Phoenix trailer with visuals from X-Men: The Animated Series.

Dark Phoenix is an adaptation of “The Dark Phoenix Saga,” which to this day stands out to many as the greatest, most memorable X-Men story of all time. X-Men: The Animated adapted the story into animated television over the course of four episodes, which were preceded by a five-episode “Phoenix Saga.”

Ah, that delicious 90s charm. X-Men, we love you.
