At first I was guessing Hobogoblin because of the rumored grey skin and shaping shifting. But after rereading Dark Phoenix I think it’s another member of the Imperial Guard. Simon Kinberg said that Jessica’s “Agent Smith” is playing a amalgam of characters from Dark Phoenix, naming Mastermind as one of them. Whom was a shapeshifter but not in the same vain as Mystique. He had psi-powers that created illusions which gave him a different appearance. So this is likely the “shapeshifting” power Smith has. There was another psychic in Dark Phoenix who was a female alien albino just like Agent Smith. Who was an antagonist in both Phoenix storylines. Rumors say that Smith can levitate so now my money is on her. Seems like a decent replacement for Mastermind.

I've not read it in a while but those henchman/women who fight the Xmen on the moon are pretty much throwaway generic baddies with no personality. And I don't see why Kinberg would choose Chastain to be that kind of obscure character. I think, disapprovingly, she is just a amalgamation of the villains from the dark phoenix saga, as in mastermind, Emma frost, lilandra, skrull queen and not a real individual character.

Pretty much all the villains in Dark Phoenix were underdeveloped, except Jean. Don’t see any Lilandra in this character. I think Kinberg just means it’s a character taking up multiple roles from the original.

So basically they're ripping off the matrix trilogy.
