there is some characters that won't make it to 616, but I doubt Jean gonna stay on AOXM. That would mean she would be dead
It will be great to renew Jean as character and show how versatile she can be.
Also controversy is good to sell and to get atention. for now it all looks good

I interpreted it as, Jean is not going back to "Uncanny". Maybe a different book, coz I am guessing AOXM will have some side effects. I don't think they brought back Jean just to be on comics in time for the DP movie and then just get rid of her.
Am hoping once Jean comes back on 616, she will be a hybrid of the old Jean and the Teen Jean.
Got a link?
I know Thompson has said that he has no problem with Scott and Jean being together and that he encouraged a reluctant Jott shipper to read "Age of X-Man", promising that he/she would be surprised. If he's made more specific comments since, I haven't seen them.
Separately, Rosenberg has said he's "sure" there are more Jott stories "down the road", but it's not clear whether that was a hint or just a general "anything can happen in superhero comics" statement.
Bullshit.
The problem with Bishop isn't his race. The problem with Bishop is that he's a mass murderer who deliberately and knowingly caused the deaths of billions of people. He has never answered for that. If you don't believe me, you can find summaries of the relevant issues here: https://uncannyxmen.net/comics/series/cable-2nd-series.
It's not about sexism, either. Back in the day, Scott's affair with Emma was off-putting, too. If you don't believe me, search this forum for "The Rectangle" thread. People are still arguing about it all 15 years after the stories in question were published.
For Jott shippers, the source of offense is that 1) she's not with Scott and 2) Jean and Bishop's relationship, by the admission of one of its creators, exists in part as a device to keep Scott and Jean apart.
Now, if Scott was still dead and staying that way permanently, I wouldn't have a problem with Jean striking up a romance with Fury Jr. or T'Challa or any other heroic character of color.

Jean and Bishop starting a relationship as single humans =/= Scott's affair
Emma has a seedy past too so lets not treat Bishop's character assassination (that honestly should just be forgotten about) with a double standard.
As much as I hated Ruth's death I also think she can't "see" the return of the people trapped in AoXM because they no longer exist in the timeline until they can escape from that pocket universe.
I just realized how Nate did it, I was reading AgeOfX again and because Nate got into Legion's head he had access to the "Moira" abilities plus the life seed, so Nate probably did create a pocket universe. But I don't think it's sustainable without Legion and Nate both powering it, I imagine that Legion is probably trapped in AoXM someplace and that rescuing him to get out of the pocket universe may be the only solution. But because they exist out of normal 616 time now, Ruth could not see them in the time line at all. In all respects everyone in AoXM appears to be dead or gone in the 616 time line.
What happens when everyone returns, I think it will be similar to AoX, they will remember both universes and some of the relationship inter-dynamics will bleed into their return to 616. So yeah I could very well see Jean and Bishop pursuing something when they return. Jean could stand to be single a bit longer too, so I am good with that as well.
I think some of their memories should bleed over as well, but unfortunately will probably be left by the wayside. Frenzy was one of the few that really came out changed after AoX, which I enjoyed. But others, such as Betsy and Bobby's relationship never got brought up. While I don't think Bishop is the right person for Jean, I am willing to see how it plays out. I feel that Jean's popularity will be used to prop Bishop up when he should be propped up on his own two feet, figuratively speaking.
I will say part of me enjoys when Marvel pairs up characters of different races though.
