The X-Men in Secret Wars could finally deliver on Avengers vs X-Men. In a way, at least—if they’re forced to fight to survive. While not particularly chatty (likely to avoid heading into spoiler territory), Alex Perez of The Cosmic Circus took some time to talk with Cosmic Circus’ Discord for a Q & A session. During the session, Perez touched on some potentials of the X-Men who might survive Doomsday to return in Secret Wars, which is obviously good news if you ask us.

While remaining tight lipped about direct X-Men specifics, we did get a tiny morsel of information about the X-Men from Doomsday. User Marah Philomena asked “Will the Fox X-Men only stay for Doomsday, or will they also appear in Secret Wars? Perez responded simply with “Some will return for Avengers: Secret Wars.”
What Else Can We Hope For From Doomsday And Secret Wars?
Did someone summon Scarlet Witch? Now, a lot of doubt was cast upon a potential return, most coming from Elizabeth Olsen herself. And we haven’t seen Wanda Maximoff in live-action since her untimely and shocking end in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but a return for Doomsday could have a nice tie to the X-Men, Perez says. “In an unofficial capacity, I heard we’d be getting a Wanda variant from the X-Men universe that we’ll see in Avengers: Doomsday, which is a universe where Magneto is finally ruling Genosha as he had always pictured it; and we’d have like a “royal family” type of situation with Erik, Pietro, Wanda, and Polaris,” he states. And as an added bonus, this would bring the current Scarlet Witch more in line with her comic counterpart.
Elaborating on the potential Wanda variant storyline, Perez had this to say: “This is an idea that has been pushed since Multiverse of Madness, and then Deadpool and Wolverine, but it never feels like the right fit because it feels like it takes away from the overall plot. However, the main point they would like to explore with Wanda is the father-daughter relationship with Erik.” And when asked about whether or not audiences could expect an early reveal of the full Doomsday X-Men roster, he said, “Not yet.” Though his answer about a potential Magneto appearance, and his motivations were a bit more revealing (and poetic): “A lifetime—several lifetimes—spent chasing haven after haven, promised land after promised land, and for what? Every time the gates of Eden slam shut in our faces, it breaks us a little more.”
