New DARK PHOENIX photo is a familiar one.

The official DARK PHOENIX social media accounts updated with a previously seen image with the caption: A family divided. Earlier in the day, however, a variation of this photo found its way online, thanks to @NicholasHoultBR on Twitter. It features slightly different poses of the cast, which includes Alexandra Shipp as Storm, Andrew Stehlin as Red Lotus, Nicholas Hoult as Beast (sans glasses), Kodi Smit-McPhee as Nightcrawler, Kota Eberhardt as Selene and Michael Fassbender as Magneto.

So what’s going on here? We’ll leave that for you to figure out, but based on the first trailer we know that Professor X (James McAvoy), Cyclops (Tye Sheridan), Storm and Nightcrawler have a confrontation with Magneto, Selene, Beast and Red Lotus outside Central Park. Everyone seemingly gets roughed up a bit, although Selene looks perfectly fine; maybe it has something to do with her powers? It’s obvious there’s division among the X-Men as something happens which leads to them separating from the Professor and Cyclops.

Dark Phoenix arrives in theaters June 7, 2019.
