* The first incarnation appears in the films ''[[X-Men (film)|X-Men]]'' (2000), ''[[X2 (film)|X2]]'', and ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]'' (2006), portrayed by [[Famke Janssen]]. This version is a purely instinctual, ruthless, and powerful entity that existed within the unconscious side of Grey's mind since childhood and embodies her darker personality traits. Though [[Charles Xavier (film character)|Charles Xavier]] put several psychic barriers within her mind to limit its power, the Phoenix gradually emerges as the barriers are removed amidst Grey's work with the X-Men. Following her death while foiling Colonel [[William Stryker]]'s plot to kill all mutants, the Phoenix takes over her body, kills [[Cyclops (Marvel Comics)|Cyclops]] and Xavier, and joins [[Magneto (film character)|Magneto]]'s [[Brotherhood of Mutants]] in their violent protest against a mutant cure until [[Logan (film character)|Wolverine]] kills it and Grey.
* The second incarnation appears in the films ''[[X-Men: Apocalypse]]'' and ''[[Dark Phoenix (film)|Dark Phoenix]]'', portrayed by [[Sophie Turner]]. This version manifests as a solar flare-like entity and is stated to be a cosmic force of supreme power as well as a fragment of the universe's energy. It entered Grey's body during her childhood, though she was largely able to suppress it on her own. Nonetheless, she struggles to maintain control of her powers. Following the Phoenix Force's emergence amidst the X-Men's fight with [[Apocalypse (character)|Apocalypse]], Grey fully loses control and is attacked by the [[D'Bari]] Vuk who intends to steal the Phoenix Force for herself so she can turn Earth into a new home for her people. With the X-Men's help, Grey uses the Phoenix Force to destroy Vuk's forces before departing Earth.
