X-MEN: THE LAST STAND Release Date May 26, 2006 InX-Men 3, a "cure" for the mutant X gene has been discovered, which threatens the very existence of mutants like Magneto (Ian McKellen) and Professor X (Patrick Stewart). The two leaders have opposing viewpoints on the situation: Magneto insists on a violent revolution to stop humans from exterminating their kind, while X prefers tolerance and working with the goverment on a compromise. But the balance is shifted by the shocking return of Dr. Jean Grey (Famke Janssen), who appeared to die in a great flood at the end of X2: X-Men United. Now she's more powerful than ever as Dark Phoenix, and if Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) can't persuade her not to join Magneto's crew, a war could be at hand.
