Where the guide talks about them (5)
The post-credits scene, in full, because it's more important than the film. Monica is trapped on the far side of a rift she closed from the wrong side, and wakes in a white medical facility. Her mother Maria Rambeau is beside her — but a variant, wearing the red-and-white Binary costume, who has never had a daughter and doesn't know who Monica is. Her doctor walks in: Hank McCoy / Beast, played by Kelsey Grammer in his Fox-films role. He explains she crossed a tear in space-time, calls it impossible, and mentions that "Charles asked for an update."
Why it matters: this is the first time an established X-Man appears in a Marvel Studios film, in a reality where the X-Men are an active, organised institution. The scene uses John Ottman's score from X2 and Days of Future Past — a deliberate signal that this is the Fox universe. It's the moment the X-Men formally went on the board, ahead of Deadpool & Wolverine doing the structural work.
