Without any spoilers there are already considerable continuity discrepancies based on the trailer alone and other official release nitpick material.

So its either:

- Alternate timeline (strongest possibility given the franchise history and other rumors floating around)
- In practice a reboot but officially it isn't (like AHM)
- Total retcon
