Well, on the off chance it's not a troll and he doesn't know to check the IMDB, the Media section or just the trailers....
Yes, it's her. She reconstituted herself.

In the comic, jean "dies" and every one is looking for her. she then becomes pheonix. when jen gets "drowned" in X2, you will notice a fire like glow in the water from where she was consumed. that is her turning into pheonix for the first time in the movies. and as a side note, ARCANGLE RULES. i'm happy he has made an apperence in X3.

Yes, it's The Phoenix. AKA Jean Grey.

This was a pet peeve of mine when I saw the trailers. They all showed Jean Grey and I thought to myself, now, as someone who hasn't read the comics (because I don't know which one is the first and no one can tell me, so that I can read the comics), but who enjoys the films, if I hadn't had a fiance that told me she would be back, I would have been very annoyed/angry that it was given away in the trailers. I mean, they're trying to market the XMen to a mass market audience, not just comic/fantasy fans, so why give away something so plot-centric in the trailers?
I saw one trailer that didn't show her, and I thought, see, now that's good. Someone not familiar with the storyline would then be surprised when they went to see the film.
I don't think they needed to give it away like that. Jeez. Let us wonder.

Yeah, but that's more of a problem with Hollywood in general anymore. There are no surprises because they give you just about everything in the trailers. Trick endings are all you can hope to get. The real problem with this movie is that it turned out to be the Wolverine" show. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of the character from the comics, but he isn't and wasn't the only interesting character in the darn books.
Jean Grey's death in the comics was handled quite differently and IMO would have been better if they had stuck closer to the original story. In the movies they used Mastermind (the other wheelchair bound psionic in X2) out of order and in the wrong premise. He was attached to Phoenix in the original comics and we were also introduced to the Hellfire Club. Really, that would have been a much more interesting storyline than the one they gave us with X3. Sebastian Shaw (Strong guy who gets stronger through kinetic absorbtion), Emma Frost (another Psi), Mastermind , a Cyborg, and so much more all (in their alter ego's as villians) stuck on a colonial motif.

Minor correction here. He's not the horrible Archangel incarnation, but actually just Angel. Archangel was a product of the "Mutant Massacre" storyline they did later and was eventually chosen as one of the "Four Horsemen" for Apocalypse in the X-books. Was all a horrid tragedy that produced very few interesting storylines and even less interesting characters.
