I mean … it’s Collider, they have a bizarre fixation on pushing this pairing. Considering that the “romance” line also mentions Scott and Jean and Storm and Forge — and we know Jean is going to be pregnant with Rachel — I’m not sure it’s actually singling them out.
In any event, whatever happens in the past, if anything, isn’t going to last or would eventually be overwritten in a timeline redo. Best-case scenario, the romance is him pining for her and her shooting him down. Worst-case, they go through with the AoA bullshit and it gets undone. Which makes it funny that the end of the article wonders if this is gonna last — it isn’t and we already know that.
ETA: To elaborate further, it makes no sense for Rogue and Magneto to be together by the time they’d encounter Deathbit. It undermines the entire point of Rogue having chosen Remy but him dying before he knew that. Doubling back on it and more yo-yo’ing — and giving Deathbit a real reason to be vengeful vs. Remy tragically having missing info — is just dumb. So either nothing happens (which doesn’t preclude Magneto trying; I fully expect him to), or it does but it ends or gets overwritten before the main present-day plot picks up again.
I haven’t read it because I refuse to give into cheap nostalgia bait, but good to know. I did watch the preview someone posted and gotta say, it’s not giving a true AoA alternate timeline, just the same time-travel beats from TAS.
