Here it is, the long awaited
X-MEN 3 potential script. Get it here, while it lasts
Like previous films the thrid will need to take elements from all previous media and combine it/modify it to suit the medium of film and general film going public. Hence no aliens in regards to dark phoniex and cosmic battlers rather she is just a super powerful mutant with an inner demon that has totally taken control of her mind. The phoniex is just Jean's natural progression in her mutation.
Potential script:
Well X-men 3 should revolve around the Dark Phoniex arising in busy city streets and totally going on massive rampage. This only happens after Magneto learns of Jeans transformation and trys to caputure her for his own plans. She is tempoarily caught with the aid of Pyro (when Phoniex is in her fire form).
Something he does corrupts the Phoniex and transforms her to the Dark Phoniex, a being of pure energy and no control.
Magneto and the Brotherhood of mutants including a new costumed Pyro flea what they have started.
So big is the havoc she causes that President orders Martial law. What also happens is that a secret project old Stryker hads his hands in and clause in the law (or something like that) goes into affect.
Something like this: in regards to if Martial law is ever implemented due to mutant attacks then Section 33 overides all Presidential power and control is turned over to General Davis
General Davis tells the Press that this new policing of mutants is due to the the total devistation by the mutant known as the Dark Phoniex he declares this to be a War on Mutants, hence the name Mutant Wars.
(Now i would like to see Juggernaut in here as General Davis personal body guard now i know you X-men fanatics would not like to change his story but we cant add magical elements to this movie so a way to change it would be Juggernaunt is a genetically modified solider, heaps of steriods with the lasted battle armour he also turns out to be Proffesor X's step brother and this is the whole reason he signed up to work with the anti mutant army)
What that means is section 33 relates to a top secret program of Sentinels and the full force of Mutant imprisonment begins. What happens next is the first wave of Sentinels, basically human soliders in endo skeleton enhancement armour. About a 7ft tall. Imprisonment begins. Mutants fight back.
Around this point will be a showdown, one with Iceman (full body covered in ice when gets into real fight) and Pyro over Rogue.
Iceman wins this fight with the aid of a mysterous card that gets tossed out of nowhere, and Rouge choices neither.
General Davis activates the phase 2: Master mould goes online (hang on this is a bit terminatorish i think but for know i stick with this story idea)
Dark Phoniex strikes again General Davis orders a kill on site law for all Mutants.
A Second wave, this time of Elite Sentinals (full machines 15ft tall) are sent to the X-School. As the xmen ty to fight them off. Another Dark phoniex attack happens. Scott and Logan are ordered to intercept her. While the others fend off the Elite Sentinals.
Magneto tells Prof X he corrupted the Phoniex, Scott and logan try to take Magneto out with little result. Maganeto apologies and once again offers his service to his old Friend.
Upon arrival at the scene of Dark phoniex 3rd strike we see the Sentinal Strike force. (these are the big boys, 30ft) Hundreds of them. Dark phoniexs is power is exhausted after her latest attack on the city and she has trouble as she trys to fight them off. She collaspes and transforms back to Jean Grey.
Logan tells Scott to get her out of here. Scott grabs her and runs for cover into a near by building. Logan in pure wolverine style locks Jean in a room and then heads back for Sentinals with Cyclops. This is were we truly learn what a psyhco and brilliant warrior Wolverine is and the full power of Cyclops.
(i'll skip some details here and make my long story short, but we will see a few new characters introduced, Archangel etc...this will be a set up for part 4)
Professor X contacts president and tells him that dark phoniex has been taken care of. But he has know power to stop the Sentinels. He informs Prof X that he lost all contact with General Davis and his staff an hour ago, the only communication is from Master Mould who has declared that it is illogical to kill mutants and protect humans as they are all the same and so all must die. They are now operating fully automated. All are in danger, mutants and humans.
X-men go to war. And head to Master mould.....Mageneto and Prof x side by side along with xmen battle it out with master mould and the sentinals. Magneto will sacrafice his life this time to save Charles. Magneto dies in this battle, or does he?
Iceman and Pyro fight it out again. Pyro wins this time.
(i skip a bit further here)
The story ends with harmony restored and mutants allowed to live freely as declared by President. It then cuts to an anicent temple. a Shadowy figure is watching the tv broad cast saying "man has survived its darkest hour in the recent Mutant wars"
The shadow figure starts to laugh and says" The darkest hour has yet to come but it will soon for nothing can stop the Apocolypse". fade to black with a big scary deep laugh.

Seen the script, and her it is. Below are various highlights from the X3 script review:
"Wolverine feels like he’s been neutered (or is it just -whipped by Storm?), and really doesn’t do much except hang out with Storm the whole time – not the best use of the most well-known X-Man around".
There’s a prison break sequence involving a bunch of bad muties on Alcatraz Island. Magneto, amidst all the hubbub of the deadly serum, has once again decided to fight the homo sapiens with his homo superior force. Amongst those that he breaks out are Avalanche, Cannonball, and…
“That Cajun-looking fellow with a thick mop of hair: GAMBIT”
Gambit, too, doesn’t have anything interesting to do in the first two acts. His appearance is nothing more than a cameo....
....and in X3 we have a listless Juggernaut, who is nothing more than a henchman among Magneto’s Brotherhood.
....among those broken out of the prison is one Cain Marko, otherwise known as Juggernaut. But as mentioned above, he serves no other purpose than to be a lowly henchman for Magneto for the first two acts. What a complete and utter letdown. Gambit, too, doesn’t have anything interesting to do in the first two acts. His appearance is nothing more than a cameo,
....the plot consists mainly of Worthington Sr.’s plan to de-mutant the collective homo sapien superiors of the world by injecting them with a de-mutant serum.
Rogue is having trouble with Ice Man because they can’t touch each other. He begins flirting with Kitty Pride (aka Maggie Grace from “Lost”), and Rogue decides the mutant “cure” might be her best and only option to be with Bobby long-term. She also attends Brotherhood meetings, although the script is unclear if it’s because she’s spying on them or if she actually is contemplating joining.
Bobby and Kitty both share time in none other than the Danger Room.
There are no Sentinels. What we have here is a good ol’ fashioned serum of death as our enemy of choice
Finally, in terms of the X-Men, my favorite scene in the script involves Warren Jr.’s decision to not undergo the “cure” to his mutant birth. With his wings held under his trench coat by a complex harness....
I have no idea what they plan on using Angel for in the future (Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, anyone?), but he ends up at the X-Mansion at the end of Act II. It’s where he belongs. For what little he is in the script that I have read, he’s given plenty of room to shine.
Scott doesn’t care. He takes her in his arms, and holds her close, hugging tight. He pulls back, looks at her.
JEAN (CONT’D)
Take these off.
She reaches toward his glasses. He reels back, protecting her. She shakes her head, feeling her strength.
JEAN (CONT’D)
Trust me. I can control it.”
Except she can’t. The script describes Scott’s skin as “shivering” until he is simply de-molecularized. No more Cyclops. Poof, he up and vanishes like a fart in the wind.
Unfortunately for Xavier, not only are those mental blocks now gone, but she also finds out from Magneto that the Professor put those blocks in without asking her. Big mistake. In a trip back to a setting from the beginning of the film, both Magneto and his Brotherhood (including henchman-like Juggernaut) meet Xavier and his X-Men at Jean’s old home. Jean, or what’s left of her, is inside and the Professor and Magneto go in alone to see her. This is when Magneto reveals to her that the Professor was the one who blocked her mind. She seems none too pleased with this, and the two mental powerhouses lock minds.

i read the potential script and was a bit confused about something init. In one part it talks about the phoniex turning back to jean grey and scot going to her rescue, but in another script it says that scot disappears. Does he disappear or do they stay together?

This film was an utter let down and for those who have not read the comic books -- this movie really sucks the big Chef chocolate "nutty" balls! OMG, was I so disappointed. You'll have to watch it to see it. Why did Bryan Singer have to leave this up to Ratner to direct this. Man I was waiting for a long time for this movie and to only be disappointed like hell. This movie sucks, not getting this crap on DVD. My collection ends at X2 and no further.
