Following mini series (Thunderbird, Colossus) and stingers (Cyclops' escape) that allude to a problem with the original team, the plot here sees the culmination of Xavier's assembling of the second X-Men team to rescue the originals from Krakoa. <br> <br>At some point it will be revealed that another villain is manipulating Krakoa, but not before the team launch Krakoa into space. <br> <br>The plot will also see an unexpected character death (anyone but Thunderbird for the sake of mystery), which will present an opportunity to recreate the Annie Richardson death whereby Jean is in their head at the time and inadvertently calls out to the Phoenix Force (tying into Starjammers 2 later) <br> <br>An ongoing subplot throughout Phases 7-9 of the X-films/shows involves Val Cooper trying to recruit mutants for a Government-sponsored Mutant team. She is declined by everyone present in the X-Men here, however a mid-credits stinger would see her visit the Summers home and recruit Alex. <br> <br>And the end-credits stinger would see a cameo of Magneto as he takes over a space station in Earth's orbit and directs it towards the drifting Krakoa (set up for Asteroid M).
