The we have reputable reports saying that movie especially the ending didn't screen well. We have Simon Kinberg saying the reshoots were to touch up the third act. So it pretty much matches up and what made reports of the movie not being very good believable is that they reported on Mystique dying ,The space mission where they get the Phoenix, and Jessica Chastain character being an alien. I knew about this stuff for months now because I saw the spoilers way back then. So one of the people who leak that DP was garbage gave accurate information of what happened in the movie. With everything you want to see for yourself but there is enough info to believe somethings reported on.
More on topic my guess for the Jessica Chastain character is DeathBird just based on them "foxing up the X-men mythos" casual putting "Selene" with Magneto. They have been holding like it is the biggest surprise but the Shiar are pretty the only Aliens that matter in the X-universe and they are relevant to Phoenix story. I don't understand why they would release that Mystique dies and not hold like they are doing with with villain reveal.
We already experienced our favourite X-Men in the positive, altered future of 2023, and they looked mature but not old.
What you see on-screen is 100% canon, no matter what. The creature goes beyond its creators.
Comic books are also plenty of incongruences. Colossus in the seventies and eighties looked 28/33 years old, and they pretended that he was a teenager or a boy LMAO. I never bought the notion that the "second generation" of X-Men were in their 20s. Never. It's stupid. They look mature, adult, experienced and mysterious.
The issues with the sliding timeline in Marvel comics has been discussed ad nauseam. And, correct me if I’m wrong, there hasn’t been an in-universe explanation. There are canonical stories about de-aging certain “problematic” characters; interestingly one of those being Magneto.
But this is a thread about the movies.
