Our first few glimpses at Avengers: Doomsday<\/a> have been pretty exciting. There was an initial teaser that revealed Chris Evans\u2019 return as Steve Rogers<\/a> (now as a dad, too), followed by a second teaser centred around Chris Hemsworth\u2019s Thor<\/a>. But the third Doomsday teaser is a biggie \u2013 one that brings a much-anticipated comeback from several comic-book movie legends. The X-Men (or, at least, some of them) are back, in an ominous new look at the Russo brothers\u2019 massive crossover movie. Watch the teaser here:<\/p>\n

Depicting what seems to be an apocalyptically-ravaged X-Mansion (though likely not ravaged by Apocalypse, thank goodness), with wise old besties Professor Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) and his metal-manipulating frenemy Magneto (Ian McKellen) having an intense conversation about death. Cut to: James Marsden\u2019s Cyclops, pulling his visor off in a fit of fury, his red eye-beam blasting out across a doomy scene. And we\u2019re promised in a final bit of text: \u2018The X-Men Will Return In Avengers: Doomsday\u2019.<\/p>\n

While Patrick Stewart memorably made a cameo appearance as a multiversal variant of Professor X in Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness<\/a>, it\u2019s been a good decade since we last saw these incarnations of the X-Men proper; Marsden and McKellen last played their X-roles in 2014\u2019s X-Men: Days Of Future Past<\/a>. While they aren\u2019t seen in this teaser, we also know that Alan Cumming will be back as Nightcrawler, Rebecca Romijn will reprise the role of Mystique, while Channing Tatum will continue his tenure as Gambit which (finally) began in Deadpool & Wolverine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So, what\u2019s happened to the other X-Men? What specifically has made Scott so upset? How will they cross paths with the Avengers and the Fantastic Four? And whose Doomsday teaser is coming next? All the answers will arrive when Avengers: Doomsday hits cinemas on December 18.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Our first few glimpses at Avengers: Doomsday have been pretty exciting.
