would jeen still be around I would have agreed with you but she is gone, now that Jeen = Jean, considering it was one of the few positive development in the last 10 years, I see no point in trowing that away as well.
We already have to see all her phoenix imagery used and abused to the point that it's no longer a distinguishing feature so why wouldn't we want to keep the one characteristic about her mutant powers that Jean developed on her own in decades of publishing history?
Ommadon: “By summoning all the dark powers I will infest the spirit of man So that he uses his science and logic to destroy himself. Greed and avarice shall prevail, and those who do not hear my words shall pay the price. I'll teach man to use his machines, I'll show him what distorted science can give birth to. I'll teach him to fly like a fairy, and I'll give him the ultimate answer to all his science can ask. And the world will be free for my magic again.”
The dark red trench coat and visible veins have shown up in previous images, but seeing that poster just makes me upset. It boggles my mind that they would use a look that obviously invokes the image of X-Men: The Last Stand when they are trying to make us forget they botched the Dark Phoenix Saga the first time.
The funny thing is the dark red trench coat design clearly was inspired by the Scarlet Witch's look from X-Men: Evolution, which came out a few years before The Last Stand.

Exactly, but like most minor or understated interactions or abilities she possess will be casually ignored or forgotten.
Ugh, I love Jean and the X-men but just no, I hate to say this but the entirety of this movie as well as XTLS could prevent Marvel from going back to the well and attempting the story correctly. I hope this thing is canceled, everything about the roll out has been menial, boring, and an outright retread. This is too rushed, and it won't be close to representative of what Jean Grey is or the story of the DPS!

the biggest problem is how this film could affect Disney's projects regarding Jean for the future. That if the marvel cinematic trend and superheroes in general survive after Endgame
You know how many people were saying the MCU basically made Wanda into Jean Grey?
Uh, those aren’t veins.
I think you’re giving Marvel Studios too much credit. When has the MCU ever done that with any storyline? The people at Marvel Studios were also behind Wolverine & The X-Men which did their own version of Dark Phoenix with some of the same liberties.
Also this movie literally can’t get cancelled.

I cannot believe that they actually did the red trench coat again. God, these guys are dumb.
I'm not even of the "Disney name makes it better" crowd, but the teasers released for this movie so far really do annoy me.
Storm with black hair. Intentional call backs and what seems like shot-for-shot translations of X3. The damned Phoenix coat rather than the glorious body suit and opera gloves. They just refuse to not fail, honestly. Why do the same thing of Apocalypse hinted at real costumes and freaking time shenanigans dictate that things should be different from the first set of movies? Just doesn't make sense.
