From what they said about Beast, I think it's likely he will not be in this wave but perhaps 2019. I think Nightcrawler IS likely. Veronica Mars pointed out that given that all of these 3 use mostly existing pieces, maybe the remainder use new pieces. Nightcrawler would definitely fit that. I also don't think the Gambit joke was a red herring, I think it's likely he will be coming too.

I'm hoping for a brand new never done before character in one of the last two slots, either hero or villain, and the final slot a villain that has been done before, be it either TB or Hasbro. I would guess Magneto or Sinister.

It may not be in this wave, but I definitely think that we will see a new Jubilee sooner rather than later. At the panel yesterday they mentioned several times that they were looking for ways to try and rerelease characters they know are hard and expensive to find, citing Luke Cage and Storm specifically. They brought up the Jubilee wave when discussing this, so given that they know how hard that wave was to track down for most people, and that they are on a Jim Lee/90's kick with the X-Men, it just makes sense.

Plus they could get away with using some older parts like the coat. For that same reason I think we're getting a Beast soon. They might even reuse parts from the Jackal.
