Charles Xavier, Magneto, and Cyclops Return

The latest teaser for Avengers: Doomsday reveals the return of some familiar faces from the X-Men universe. The teaser focuses on Charles Xavier, Magneto, and Cyclops, hinting at their return to the big screen. The Xavier Institute appears deserted, with Charles and Erik seen playing chess, a nod to their iconic moments in older films. Cyclops makes a dramatic entrance by removing his visor and unleashing a powerful optic blast.

X-Men's Return to the MCU

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been teasing the return of the original X-Men for some time. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness featured a variant of Xavier, and the trend continued with The Marvels and Deadpool & Wolverine. Avengers: Doomsday will feature older versions of Nightcrawler, Mystique, Beast, and Gambit.

While it's unclear if other X-Men like Wolverine, Storm, or Jean Grey will appear, their return is not out of the question.

Release Date and Fan Excitement

The film is set to release on December 18. Fans of the X-Men are thrilled to see these beloved characters return to the big screen. The teaser has sparked a lot of buzz and speculation about what's in store for the X-Men in this new adventure.
