The first is that there are two X-Men casts.
Then theres also the question of what narrative role these characters are going to play in anAvengersmovie.
Would all of these actors return just to be killed off?
Clearly, we dont know.
And, with the reveal that Channing Tatum is returning as Gambit, we know thats part of this.
So, potentially, these are completely new ones.
Or maybe theyre not even those characters.
Nevertheless, its very exciting for long-time superhero film fans to see these names pop up.
