My understanding is that this is the final chapter of the X-Men backstory series (First Class and Apocalypse). It is the origin story for Jean Grey (Phoenix) and provides background for why, in Avengers: Endgame, she is so powerful. Which leads me to ... 1) why do the avengers have so much difficulty beating bad guys when they have two (not one, two) "most powerful being in the universe" women in Jean Grey and Carol Danvers, and 2) with so many "most powerful being in the universe" characters, where does Marvel go next without just being silly. But mostly, this film is unnecessary placeholder. It doesn't advance any storyline, and it doesn't fill in significant historical storyline gaps.
2 stars (out of 5)
