FOX's first crack at the Dark Phoenix Saga landed with a rather large thud in X-Men: The Last Stand. That said, the storyline and footage are made much better through a James Mangold-like lens.
YouTube user Sam Ibrahim took the more grounded Logan approach to The Last Stand, focusing on the film's Phonix storyline. While the bridge scene will always look ridiculous no matter what context it's in, everything else seems to coalesce better in this revised trailer. Ibrahim says "Imagine if James Mangold had taken over after Bryan Singer for X-Men The Last Stand?! The gritty, real style that we're getting with the new 'Logan' film but combined with 'The Dark Phoenix' Saga. Could have been incredible."
He wanted to avoid just rehashing Johnny Cash's Hurt, which has been overlayed with just about every trailer you can imagine. Instead, he used similarly styled music that gave the same effect, like Nirvana (Heart Shaped Box) and Soundgarden (Black Hole Sun).

Logan takes place in the year 2029, where mutant births have become extremely rare. The defenders of mutant kind, the X-Men, are long gone, and the only remains of them are an old and struggling Charles Xavier and a weary Logan. Logan's vaunted healing factor has slowed, and at times doesn't seem to work at all. When a young mutant needs his help, Logan has to unsheathe his claws once more. His job isn't over yet.
Logan stars Hugh Jackman (Logan), Boyd Holbrook (Donald Pierce), Patrick Stewart (Charles Xavier), Dafne Keen (Laura Kinney/X-23), Doris Morgado (Maria), Stephen Merchant (Caliban), Elizabeth Rodriguez (Gabriela), and Richard E. Grant (Dr. Zander Rice). James Mangold is directing and helped on the screenplay along with Scott Frank and Michael Green.
Logan hits theaters on March 3, 2017.
