Overview
- Footage reported by multiple outlets shows Patrick Stewart’s Professor X and Ian McKellen’s Magneto together, with Magneto’s somber lines about mortality over scenes inside a dilapidated X-Mansion.
- The teaser includes the Xavier School in flames, Sentinel attacks, and a powerful Cyclops optic blast that has driven much of the online reaction.
- By Monday morning, higher-resolution AI-modified versions and stills of the leak were widely posted across social platforms despite the original’s low quality.
- Some coverage cites on-screen text stating “The X-Men Will Return in Avengers: Doomsday” and identifies Cyclops as James Marsden, though these specifics have not been broadly verified.
- The leak arrives during a theater-first, rotating-preview campaign that previously saw other teasers surface online, as the film targets a December 18, 2026 release.
