Spoiler:

Xavier is happy they're finally proving to the world how good mutants can be, and keeps pushing the team to do more.

Mystique thinks he's pushing everyone too far, specially Jean, who is trying to figure out her powers after manifesting the Phoenix against Apocalypse.

Cyclops is hooking up with Jean, Mystique is hooking up with Beast and Quicksilver and Nightcrawler are both trying to hook up with Storm (funny gag where Xavier claims he doesn't allow romantic relationships between X-Men while cutting to everyone else hooking up).

Magneto is now living in the island of Genosha, where he runs a safe haven for mutant outcasts, kinda' like his own school.

Genosha is filled with mutant fugitives, and the government is scared Magneto might be building another army in secret.

The X-Men are approached by Agent Smith (Jessica Chastain), an intelligence operative who needs their help to repair a malfunctioning space shuttle.

Mystique doesn't trust Smith and doesn't think the team is ready, Xavier overrules her. The X-Men head into space, but their ship malfunctions and they almost die.

Jean manifests the Phoenix again and saves everyone, but releases an energy surge that damages satellites or something.

The government is angry and Xavier puts Jean on probation, which gets her angry.

At Mystique's behest, Beast starts doing some investigative work about the shuttle malfunction and finds evidence of sabotage.

Meanwhile, Smith meets with a cabal of government agents from agencies all over the world - They are shapeshifting aliens, the Skrulls, and are engineering a war to wipe out both humans and mutants, and awakening the Phoenix is part of their plan.

Jean begins having nightmares and losing control of her powers. Xavier probes her mind during one of their sessions and sees alien stuff, but Jean senses him and violently pushes him out.

Xavier is concerned with Jean's personality changes and doesn't want her out, but the kids sneak out to go to a nightclub, where they get into a brawl. Jean loses control, accidentally trashes the place, and the X-Men face public backlash.

Agent Smith demands to run a psychiatric evaluation on Jean. Beast takes the opportunity to collect a sample of her DNA and finds out Smith is not human.

Smith psychologically tortures Jean and causes the Phoenix to emerge again. Jean loses control and telekinetically trashes the X-Mansion. Beast gets impaled by a piece of debris and dies. Jean is horrified and flees.

After Beast's funeral, Xavier and Mystique get into a fight. Smith wants Jean found and detained because she's dangerous, or all the X-Men will face consequences. Xavier begrudgingly complies.

Jean goes to Genosha. Magneto shelters her. Xavier contacts him and demands he turn over Jean. Magneto says he won't betray his kind for mutants like Xavier is doing.

Mystique finds Beast's research on the Skrulls and alerts Xavier.

The government deploys a strike team to Genosha to capture Jean and the other refugees. They kill a mutant Jean had befriended.

Xavier confronts Smith while the X-Men go to Genosha. His telepathy doesn't work on Skrulls, and Smith overpowers him.

She reveals that her real name is Lilandra and that the Skrulls worship the Phoenix and want to unleash so they can conquer Earth in her wake. The Phoenix's physical form was destroyed in the past and she was reborn as Jean.

The X-Men get to Genosha but it's already in ruins. They rescue Magneto, while Jean kills the strike team and goes on a rampage.

Mystique rescues Xavier from Smith, who escapes and initiates their invasion. Skrulls across the world disable the defensive systems of the governments they have infiltrate and deploy their own fleet of spaceships to subjugate the planet.

The Phoenix unleashes destruction in Washington while the X-Men protect civilians. Cyclops reaches out to Jean and convinces her to stop. Jean then rejoins the X-Men to fight the Skrulls.

Xavier reverse-engineers Cerebro based on Beast's research and neutralizes the Skrulls worldwide, while Mystique fights Lilandra and manages to kill her.

With her dying breath, Lilandra sets off a bomb that'll destroy the whole planet.

Jean sacrifices herself to contain the blast and dies. The X-Men mourn her.

The government blames the X-Men for everything and order their arrest. Xavier is forced to give up his dream of pacific co-existence to protect his students. The school is closed, and the X-Men go on the run, now as public enemies. Magneto sticks around this time.

Out of nowhere, Thanos appears from a portal. He says, "Wow, this universe sure looks like hot garbage. I guess I need to balance the Multiverse, too!" before waving his gauntlet around, wiping out the entire planet. Beast is almost able to stop him but he didn't take the right Singer pill today to enable Beast mode so he's the first one to get vaporized.

End credits.

They probably have to go through massive reshoots because:

Spoiler:

It doesn't make sense for Jean to die at a young age because she is shown to be alive and well in the newly created timeline at the end of Days of Future Past.
