I'm intrigued about the books for Wave 1. I'm surprised there is not a Wolverine book? What about X-factor? Fallen Angels and New Mutants do not excite me, but that could change when we have creative teams and team linenups announced.
I assume Scott, Jean, and Wolverine will be in the main X-men book. I do wonder where Rogue, Gambit, and Psylocke will end up.
My top guess (and that's all it is; I don't have anything genuinely tangible or properly observed to support it) is that the Marauders book will be led by Magneto, and written by Cullen Bunn. I got the distinct impression at the end of the Magneto solo that Bunn was thinking of that set of Marauders serving Magneto's will.
Unlike other fans, I wouldn't be instantly against Lorna possessed by Malice again, as long as it's done right and respectfully to Lorna, showing who she is and what she's really like at the same time. Lorna having Malice within her but controlling Malice would be an interesting twist.
But, I think what's far more likely is Lorna forced into relationship with Havok and serving as his pet/status booster/helper. Enough people at Marvel have voiced that they view her as a "third tier character" and "hard sell" for whom "there is not the fan demand" that it's pretty clear they're stuck in repressive 90s nostalgia land when it comes to what they think is possible with her.

Bunn said a few months back that he would be off the X-Books for a while. So he's unlikely to be involved in any Wave titles.

Calling Lorna a third tier character is generous imo. I would have gone with 4th tier.

I really, really hope we get Lady Mastermind back on the Marauders book. She’ll be a great thorn in Emma’s or Magneto’s side.
So many filthy casuals who haven't heard of falllen angels.
