The first teaser for Avengers: Doomsday\u00a0heralded the return of Chris Evans\u2019 Steve Rogers, aka Captain America<\/a>, and our second checked in on Chris Hemsworth\u2019s Thor<\/a>. And for week three? It\u2019s all X-Men, baby.<\/p>\n

Well, \u201call\u201d in the sense that it\u2019s about the superteam. The teaser here chooses to focus on three returning actors: Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart), Magneto (Ian McKellen), and a tiny tease of Cyclops (James Marsden). We get shots of the Xavier Institute, which looks to be empty of students and staff, and Charles and Erik playing chess like they did in the old movies.<\/p>\n

Then, Cyclops yanks off his visor to use a full-force optic blast in the middle of battle. And after that shot of Cyclops? \u201cThe X-Men will return\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

The MCU has been flirting with bringing back the OG Fox-Men for a while, starting with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness featuring an Xavier variant<\/a> and continuing that thread with The Marvels<\/a>\u00a0and Deadpool & Wolverine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With\u00a0Avengers: Doomsday,\u00a0one-third of the film\u2019s main cast consists of these comeback characters<\/a>: along with Charles, Erik, and Scott, we\u2019ll be seeing older versions of Nightcrawler (Alan Cumming), Mystique (Rebecca Romijn), Beast (Kelsey Grammer), and Gambit (Channing Tatum). The jury\u2019s out on if we\u2019ll see other X-actors like Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), Storm (Halle Berry), or Jean Grey (Famke Janssen), but it certainly could happen.<\/p>\n

Avengers: Doomsday hits theaters on December 18.<\/p>\n
