Marvel Studios' first wave of cast reveals for Avengers: Doomsday included several of the OG Fox X-Men, including Kelsey Grammar as Beast, James Marsden as Cyclops, Rebecca Romijn as Mystique, Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler, Patrick Stewart as Professor X, and even Ian McKellen as Magneto, along with the addition of Channing Tatum's Gambit.
As much as that's a pleasant surprise - especially Ian McKellen getting his victory lap as Magneto alongside Patrick Stewart's Charles Xavier - it's got me fearful that we're being set up for a gut-wrenching Avengers: Doomsday rug-pull in which we'll be forced to watch an entire universe of heroes die before our very eyes.
