How X-Men: Apocalypse Will Serve As An Origin Story For The Original Trilogy Heroes
Michael Dougherty (who wrote X2: X-Men United in addition to co-writing X-Men: Apocalypse) was about about the future of Jean Grey, Cyclops and Storm as it relates to the original X-Men trilogy
Dougherty confirmed that the creative team still sees the original X-Men trilogy as the characters whom the younger versions (played by Sophie Turner, Tye Sheridan and Alexandra Shipp) eventually become.

I think they aren’t changing as much as you’re getting a peek into a portion of their lives you’ve simply never seen on the big screen. By the time you meet that trio at the beginning of X1 through X3, they are exactly who you think they should be. Cyclops is the leader. Jean Grey is a confident woman, but is struggling with her powers, and Storm is this enigmatic weather goddess. But we’ve never seen the characters at the earlier stages in their lives, at this very sort of raw and not yet formed period.

We all know where it is that they need to head, and we all know the characters they become, so this is really sort of showing us how they got there.
