Bendis: It is a big cast. I like a big cast, and all these characters are very dramatic characters. Kitty, and... there's so many characters, but I don't think they want me to say who they are right now. Not everyone's walking out of
Avengers vs. X-Men, and once you start naming names, people start doing the math, so I don't want to ruin what happens in #11 and #12 of
Avengers vs. X-Men.
Nrama: But it's safe to say that several current X-Men characters are going to be playing a role?
Bendis: It's not just the five of them, it's "the X-Men." It's all of the X-Men. Them coming here, and seeing the "now" X-Men — the Jean Grey School cast of characters — reacting to the five, is a pretty big deal.
