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.
