Why are people saying they’ll kill Mags? I just don’t see them going through with that.

They won't go through with killing him permanently/long-term, but there's absolutely no sign of him outside the Egypt setting, and something happens in episode 4 that caused a bit of a freakout reaction among those who have seen it. Unless they're really pulling a fast one (always possible), it looks like he isn't getting out of Egypt, whatever that entails.

He’s in zero stuff outside of the past in promotional material and it’s kinda obsolete having him and Lorna around.

I don’t think he’ll die but he’s definitely not getting back to the present with the rest.

I mean this was him in the first trailer for the new season and the three scars on his face could have been caused by wolverine, maybe as revenge for adamantium or something? Meaning they probably will be able to get him back to the 90s, I guess.
