After years of teasers and the odd stray mutant here and there, Marvel has officially confirmed the long-awaited debut of the X-Men.
For the last few hours now, Marvel has slowly been confirming cast members for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.
There are the kind of names you'd expect, of course. Thor is back. The new Captain America and Black Panther will be in the mix, too. But there have also been some huge surprises: namely, the X-Men are coming!
More specifically, it looks as if we're getting the classic X-Men lineup from the original Fox movies.

Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen are back as Professor X and Magneto alongside Kelsey Grammar's beast.
Also joining the party we have James Marsden (Cyclops), Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler), Channing Tatum (Gambit), and Rebecca Romjin (Mystique).
While this is unlikely to be our line-up of X-Men once the MCU has its inevitable post-Secret Wars reboot, it's amazing to think this iconic cast of characters is coming together one more time - and to meet The Avengers, no less.
