X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)

X-Men: The Last Stand is the third and final installment in Bryan Singer's original X-Men trilogy. It adapts Marvel's famous "Dark Phoenix" storyline, with Famke Janssen's Jean Grey embracing her supernatural power to unleash chaos on mutantkind. Fox's 2006 superhero movie brings back franchise mainstays such as Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, Patrick Stewart's Professor X, and Ian McKellen's Magneto, and it introduces major mutant characters such as Kelsey Grammer's Beast, Ben Foster's Angel, and Vinnie Jones' Juggernaut.
