There’s about as many X-Males characters in “Doomsday” as there are “Avengers” ones: Professor X (Patrick Stewart), Magneto (Ian McKellen), Cyclops (James Marsden), Beast (Kelsey Grammer), Mystique (Rebecca Romijn), Nightcrawler (Alan Cumming), and Gambit (Channing Tatum) are confirmed to this point.

Many are assuming this implies the primary supply materials of the movie might be “Avengers vs X-Males.” Moderately than begin anew with a brand new X-Males forged and construct as much as such a battle, Marvel Studios is perhaps utilizing the occasion as one final hurrah for the earlier X-Males actors.
Within the comics, “Avengers vs X-Males” ran by 2012, authored by a group of writers (the aforementioned Mr. Hickman, Jason Aaron, Brian Michael Bendis, Ed Brubaker, and Matt Fraction) and artists (Olivier Coipel, Adam Kubert, and John Romita Jr.). The titular battle, attempting to recapture the magic of earlier occasions like “Home of M” and “Civil Battle,” was over the Phoenix Drive. Cyclops wished to regulate the Phoenix for the better good, whereas the Avengers wished to destroy it.

The X-Males received their want; Cyclops and his 4 disciples (Emma Frost, Colossus, Magik, and Namor) bonded with the Phoenix Drive and briefly took over the world. As soon as the Avengers overthrew the Phoenix 5, the entire episode left mutants extra hated than ever. (What else is new?)
After all, “Avengers vs X-Males” is an open sufficient premise that you do not have to do the particular story the comedian did. I might even say “Doomsday” in all probability will not.
Now, this group of X-Males in all probability comes from the world seen on the finish of “The Marvels.” Based mostly on Grammer’s cameo as Beast in that film, it is received the actors from the Fox films however with Jim Lee-’90s “X-Males” costumes and aesthetics. Maybe this world and the Avengers’ will expertise an Incursion, pitting the groups towards one another for their very own survival?
“Secret Wars” #1 did one thing related, the place Basic Marvel (Earth-616) and Final Marvel (Earth-1610) had been the one two realities left after which mixed for the ultimate Incursion. There is no onscreen analogue to the Final Universe, however the X-Males’s world may fill an analogous function, so the Incursion is between two acquainted worlds.
