It's one of the least spoilery superhero/tentpole trailers I've seen in a long, long, long time. We literally know nothing about the movie except girl, no mutants, bad guys, old prof x.

Seriously??? Here's what I gathered from the trailer:

Spoiler!


How much of the plot is really left to be discovered?

You're making a lot of assumptions that weren't in the trailer. Not even close.

Other than that you're probably mostly right, but that's a pretty easy story structure to figure out based on pretty much every movie of a similar nature. Doesn't really have much to do with the trailer.

The one who doesn't want to be there, the one who's making the other go, and the one that cracks the shell of the other (sometimes the latter two are the same person). Combine it with an action movie where a kid has to be protected and yea, you basically have your plot points. The kid is at one point caught and has to be saved, very likely a main character dies trying, main character must get past whatever hang up he has to save the kid, etc..

I think it's less of a "the trailer gave away everything" and more of a "we know these stories" thing.

As far as movie trailers go and if you do NOT know the comic book plot then it's not spoilery whatsoever.

The problem with most of these films is if you know the general structure or background of the story there's not much you can do in the form of spoilers in trailers.

But as far as superhero movie trailers go, that is likely the LEAST spoiler trailer I've seen maybe ever (that's not simply a teaser trailer).

From what I take from the trailer and knowing about the comics, this is loosely based on Old Man Logan and more closely based on
Spoiler!

You can guess what is going to happen, but from what I think I know, Mike F is close like how Greenland is closer to Canada than Denmark.

One very intriguing clip from the trailer though was taken directly from X-Men: The Last Stand, I will leave you all to determine which one that was.

Hmm not sure what clip youre watching, but those scenes all include the girl and Prof X in his water-tower thing. Both pretty clearly from the new film.

Since when does the water tower have a window? But I may also be mistaken I thought there was a clip in Last Stand when Man with guns run into a house Xavier is in.

The one of Xavier with guns pointed at him? Looks vaguely similar to his death scene in The Last Stand, but no it's something new. The girl crawling on the floor immediately before looks like it's from the same scene.
