She's a new recruit of Magneto's followers in this movie to spoilers:end of spoilers. I don't think we know her powers yet, but that would make sense of her inclusion there.
take out Jean
This is probably reason.
https://www.cbr.com/bryan-singer-wei...ng-can-happen/“Again, fucking with the reboot idea. I get to take control and reboot my own movie. I rebooted the universe so now anything can happen. So here’s the plan, in my head, again giving away the plan because of the alcohol- The soda water. What happens when you use Days of Future Past to erase movies like X1, 2 and 3, yes you can erase those events that occurred, but I also was very adamant about having what we call ‘The Tivo Scene.’ The scene in that room with all the video cameras in Days of Future Past, I call it the Tivo scene. 'I developed this piece of technology that records television.’ The point is time’s immutability. The idea that time is like a river. You can splash it and mess it up and throw rocks in it and shatter it but it eventually kind of coalesces and this is, again, theories of quantum physics. It’s all based in quantum physics.
So what I’m doing with these in-betweenqueels is playing with time’s immutability and the prequel concept, meaning that yes we erased those storylines and anything can happen. That means the audience goes into the movie thinking that anything can happen. I mean anything, anyone could die. Any possibility could occur, but characters are still moving towards their immutable place. Jean and Scott, are they meant to be together? Is Scott this guy who hates schools, who ahtes authority, destined to become a leader? You don’t know. Is Jean ever going ot disover the full potential of her power? You don’t know, but we move in those direction character wise but then we have the freedom story wise to do whatever the fuck we want because we erased those three movies.
They basically want to be like the Final Distination. Hopefully it’s actually discussed in this movie and not just vaguely hinted at like it was in Apocalypse.
EDIT: I know a lot of people are going complain that it’s BS an excuse the filmmakers made just to do the same thing.

I doubt that. Remember Wolverine & The X-Men’s version of Dark Phoenix that had no prior Phoenix story? That was by people working at Marvel Studios. Look at the producer and writer credits of that show. They have already said several times that they make original storyline and not adaptations.
I think we already did.

Seriously, X3 was horrid. There is no reason to bring in ANY elements that remind us of that. But again, they are.
It's subjective honestly. I will be the first to admit I'm wrong about this movie once I see it next February, but right now it doesn't inspire a lot of faith in me right now. Some elements lookj amazing and I'm excuited to see on the screen, others I'm just "why? why are we still using 'xyz' in this series, or bringing this into it". That's me, and I don't begrudge or think anyone doesn't deserve to be excited about this. I just wish I was. :/
In terms of box office it'll do well and there are people who will be pleased with it, but from everything that had been released before I was expecting something at least different. A different spin, or take on the story...but the scenes look SO MUCH like the crap in X3. It's like this is where they're merging the two movies and it doesn't make sense.
