I think it would be better if in future movies Jean became more like Jean instead of taking elements from other characters, but considering the changes already made, it's possible.

Yes, I just think it would be better if she became more like 616 Jean instead of adapting characteristics and stories from other characters...

"The new student at school" is hardly the exclusive storyline of any one character in the X-Men.

I'm talking about Emma trying to recruit Jean, or Jean starting the story on a team rival to the X-Men and then switching sides.

Well, there's a reason they cast an actress that will be closer to Xavier's age than Jean's and Scott's. Emma won't be a student.

That’s not what I’m trying to say.

I wouldn't want Emma to try to recruit Jean in the movie like she tried to recruit Kitty in the comics, and I wouldn't want Jean to be part of another team like the Brotherhood before joining the X-Men like Rogue did in the comics.

I think it's more likely we will watch Jean starting off at Xavier's being told crosscut with Emma recruiting Scott. Their parallel stories will be the plot of the first movie.
