How do they explain that?

She is reborn at the end. The last shot is of an orange flicker in the sky thus the Phoenix re-entering the atmosphere.

I bet that was a last minute decision by someone when they realised Jean was alive at end of DOFP .. like 'quick paint something orange in the atmosphere before the picture is locked!' 😄

That whole continuity thing was crushed when Wolverine Origins came out. Cyclops is a teenager in that movie and he's a teenager in Dark Phoenix which is at least a decade later. There are probably a dozen other times it doesn't make sense.

These guys did a weird reboot and said screw it to the fans.

I just handwave it away as different timelines.
