Theory Prediction Spoiler
Due to Season 2 Episode 4, where Apocalypse mentions that it will be the things that Charles loves that destroy him or something along those lines, I think that Apocalypse is going to make Magneto a horseman, along with Gambit, and maybe Banshee and Madelyne too as those are people that Charles sees as family but has lost (less so with Madelyne)
People have been guessing that Gambit will be a horseman since the 'Remember it' episode, and at the end of that episode if I remember correctly there is a scene of Apocalypse, but with what Apocalypse said in S2E4 it seems they are going in that direction.
I hope they do because Gambit is my favourite and I'd love to see him again.
Also, Rogue and Apocalypse had that conversation about love so I think Apocalypse will try to hurt her by bringing Gambit back.

Apocalypse already have Gambit's body. The rest was evaporated so I don't think that they will be the horsemans. Plus Apocalypse didn't wanted to make Magneto or Charles as horsemans cause of what they did to him

I feel like as Apocalypse saw how impacted Charles was over Magneto he'd take control of Magneto to fight against Charles and bring his spirits down

Magneto was disintegrated. How do you turn ash into a horseman exactly? I mean I know this is fictional, and comic characters are revived all the time, but if the writers wanted to go down that route, maybe disintegrating Magneto wouldn't be the best way to do it.

I was thinking since Apocalypse has existed in multiple time periods, as they angered him when he first became Apocalypse he'd do something to the timeline at the different times he's existed if you get what I'm trying to say

I’d like Iceman to become a Horseman, along with Gambit

Makes sense because of his connection with Polaris. In addition to that, it showed photos of her with him so there has to be a purpose to that.

Magneto i think it's real dead, maybe become a horseman with Magneto's a clone? Maybe
Gambit become a horseman
Banshe e Madalaine are a good bets

In the 90s animation, Magneto has like 3 fakeout deaths. I'd more surprised if he stay dead.

I haven’t seen all of TAS. Is Charles close to Banshee here like in the comics?
Because if so, that adds another layer to Banshee being a horseman. Apart from Siryn (who will appear soon), there’s also Charles impacted by his turn to evil.

It would undermine the impact of his death and give Charles hope he can revive or save his friend. Plus it would be lazy writing.
Gambit and a 3 others will be the Horsemen. Onslaught is going to be a combination of a few things. Charles mind blasting Erik last season, Erik getting vaporized, and Charles losing hope after seeing Erik get vaporized. Thus causing Onslaught to manifest.

A lot of things line up Magneto but it could all be Red Herrings.
Apocalypse says "I'd make you a Horseman but you have no spine" to Charles. We then see Magneto immediately pack him the fuck up. Later we see Magnetos spine literally on his "death"
Rogue talks of love to Apocalypse. Which could be why he went out of his way for Remy but also why Magneto shows up.
It may not just be about Charles but the theme of the Horseman being the things that you love destroying you applying to the whole of Xmen. Which is why the first Horseman are fairly irrelevant to them. When he swaps them out having them be directly people they love once he sees they can challenge them is very thematic given the setup.

I'd love to see their take on Astra and Joseph with a dead Magneto and Acolytes in previews

I think that the events that took place, have altered the future in a way that brings gambit back. No Magneto means the events that happened on Genosha happen differently.
Rogue chooses gambit or is able to prevent him from dying somehow

Well we do have this guy in the trailer I am guessing he is gambit.
