X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019)

In 1975, eight-year-old Jean Grey is involved in a car crash which seemingly kills both her parents, leaving her an orphan. Professor Charles Xavier takes her to Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters, where he promises to teach Grey to use her gifts for good. In 1992, during the first mission of the Space Shuttle Endeavour, the shuttle is critically damaged by solar flare-like energy. The president calls upon the X-Men to save the astronauts, and Jean is struck by the energy. Miraculously, she survives the blast and absorbs the rays, saving her team’s aircraft. Her psychic powers are greatly amplified, but her emotional state begins to deteriorate, leading Raven Darkhölme to scold Xavier, claiming he puts the team in unnecessary danger. As she becomes increasingly stressed, Jean’s powers become harder to control. She accidentally unleashes her power on mutants celebrating at Xavier’s school.

Xavier reveals to the rest of the X-Men that he placed mental blocks in Jean’s mind to supress her trauma. Raven is shocked at Charles’ revelation. Meanwhile, the blocks in Jean’s mind are destroyed by her enhanced power and her childhood trauma returns. She travels to her hometown after seeing visions of her father. Jean finds her father alive; he had survived the car crash and forsaken her. She recovers complete memory of the accident and realizes that, unable to control her powers at the time, she had accidentally rendered her mother unconscious at the wheel with telepathy, causing the crash and killing her. This realization causes Jean’s powers to spiral further out of control. The X-Men arrive and, after a brief skirmish in which Peter Maximoff is injured, Xavier freezes everyone to allow Raven time to persuade Jean to come home. Jean lashes out against Raven, accidentally killing her, and flees, while Hank McCoy weeps over Raven’s body.
