Is Mystique alive after Dark Phoenix?

It’s not much of a spoiler to say that Jennifer Lawrence’s character Mystique dies in the forthcoming X-Men installment, Dark Phoenix. A trailer previewed the plot development in February, while director Simon Kinberg explained the death in an interview not long after.

Why did Raven die in Dark Phoenix?

Even the first Dark Phoenix trailer hinted that Jennifer Lawrence’s Mystique, aka Raven, might die. Sure enough, the film’s first act ends with Jean Grey losing control; she accidentally sends Mystique flying with a telekinetic blast, and the shapeshifter is killed after getting impaled by a broken piece of wood.

How did Mystique come back to life?

Most likely, Mystique didn’t come back to life, because she didn’t die in the first place. Mystique has the power to completely alter the shape & appearance of her entire body; changing their appearance is only a small part of what a metamorph can do.

How did Raven die?

Raven approaches Jean and tries to calm her, assuring Jean that she will not give up on her. Jean, unable to control the Phoenix, accidentally blasts Raven away, impaling her on a piece of wood. As Hank goes to her aid, Raven tries to tell him that she loves him, with her last breath before passing away.
