I think season 2 is all about preventing the Age of Apocalypse from happening. Xavier's vision of Gambit (now Deathbit) in ep 6 foreshadows his death (it's not just Genosha). So I think Gambit/Deathbit replaces Legion's role in 'Legion's Quest'. Remy had this frightening ominous look about him as if he were to do something on a cataclysmic scale in Xavier's vision. This event seems important.
Beau said a while ago that is was "key" for Gambit dying thinking that Rogue chose Magneto at the Gala, he said this in a couple of his Tweets. I think this love triangle is a big deal, I'm now starting to think it's not just there for drama. So I think it's Rogue's job (when she returns to the present) to snap Gambit out of Deathbit to prevent Xavier's death.
I wonder if the Mother Askani timeline will be framed as post-AoA Earth.
I do find the lack of Mystique suspicious... you know she'll end up being revealed having impersonated someone all along when you least expect it LOL
I can see Exodus turning Forge down and heading up a new Acolytes team in Magneto's name... but I could see Emma joining the new X-Men if the Hellfire Club is no more/in disarray following Sebastian's death. I'm also very curious about Kitty already being an active superhero - will she make her TAS/X97 debut at long last?
Also, who are we thinking as Apocalypse's inevitable 4 Horsemen besides Gambit? I reckon it would be more impactful if it was mutants who we know for sure died in Genosha. Banshee? Callisto? Leech? Maddie might also be a candidate, but I feel things have come full circle with Jean effectively sharing her memories and Nathan accepting her as his mother, so sadly she might be redundant at this stage.
I agree we didnīt get to see Gambitīs reaction to Genoshaīs so just like Rogue, Cooper and Magneto he probably put in question Charles dream during those events and this along with his break up with Rogue could give Apocalypse a lot to work in changing his mentality as a horseman.

Maddie was vaporized. There is no body for Apocalypse to revive as a Horseman. I really think they are done with her as bringing her back now would undermine what they are clearly doing with Jean
I could see
Gambit - Death
Banshee - Pestilence
Dazzler - Famine
Marrow - War
They're already boosting Jubilee's powers, I don't see them making her a vampire.
I'll also add that Gambit/Death might try to kill Magneto because Apocalypse corrupted his mind (over Rogue), but Xavier pushes Magneto out of way and he gets killed instead.
Beau was being coy when asked if Dazzler is dead. So I'm pretty sure she'll be one of the four.
Just like in Legion quest, I could see this too if Logan is turned in a horseman as well, Rogue could confront Gambit while Magneto confronts Logan. If Charles is killed in the crossfire the mission then becomes once again, to prevent his death.
That would be fun, she had a romance with Exodus in the original AoA, I liked that but if she is turned into a horseman that would be interesting.Beau was being coy when asked if Dazzler is dead. So I'm pretty sure she'll be one of the four.

Sebastian I could definitely see. And I'm all for more Dazzler on the show, but I don't know if Horseman of Apocalypse would be a fitting role for her. And there's loads of characters to choose from but I think a random mutant you didn't even realize was in Genosha or died might not make for the most impact. That's why I was thinking of someone like Leech, who would just break your heart if resurrected and twisted by Apocalypse technology.
