The article is a few months old, remember. They didn't know about the six new books at the time, and obviously heard something about Powers of X. They were right that Hickman wouldn't be taking over the line with a book called X-Men, but instead with some other X title. And even got the pronunciation thing right. They probably just thought that book would be an ongoing, rather than a mini that leads into a new X-Men series.

I wouldn’t mind New Mutants either being a mix of the OG and Dani’s squad:
Or just Dani’s former squad finally taking over their legacy name. The OG New Mutants are too grown for that name and it was only cute in 2009 because it was a reunion title and you can only have so many reunion tours before you end up looking a little dusty. Or it’s an entirely new concept for the New Mutants.
That’s my point, though. This rumor, which was probably just lucky, got HOXPOX right and Jonathan writing either “X-Men” or a title like that. BC dismissed the rumors just cause they didn’t know, so who knows what else they dismissed that could still be true.
I'm feeling we won't even see the rosters today, just the creative teams. Might be too spoilery to show who gets to hang out with who post HoX/PoX.
Maybe they’ll bring back the silhouetted covers from Regenesis.
I wouldn't necessarily expect the classic titles to feature the characters usually associated with those titles to be honest - I think we might have a mix of both familiar and brand-new even though the title is old (think Milligan/Allred's X-Force)
It would be just like the Marvel Promotional team to release a teaser that says “all will be revealed” just to only tell us a title and creative team, but I’m hoping, praying, begging even that they’ve learned from previous book reveals.

Remember last year’s SDCC when Akira-sempai said the X-Men panel was going to be huge and all they did was reveal Uncanny X-Men would be back later in the year?
I'd be happy with just the confirmation of the titles and creative teams if the character rosters would reveal anything about the outcome of HOX/POX tbh... the first issues are not even out and I hope whatever Marvel announces is on the non-spoilery side.
Interesting guesses, My Guess
X-men-Flagship book so Cyclops, Jean Grey, Wolverine, Storm, Beast... Basically, the big guns reestablishing who the X-men are and test case for who might show up in an MCU X-men movie
X-force- Traditional we have Gold/Blue or Adjectiveless /Uncanny so my guess this is the Uncanny. Roster no clue I can't figure out if they want Paramilitary or Black OPs probably more adult X-men than younger X-force group
Excaliber- They have been dying to do this book Nightcrawler, Kitty for sure maybe Psylocke, Banshee, Colossus. I think Banshee was brought back for a reason this could be it
Fallen Angels- I am guessing the squad formerly known as New Mutants will be called this
New Mutants- Will be reserved for well actual new mutants Wrench, Fauna, Sonos Rex and probably some old students
Marauders- With Sabertooth, Mystique, Toad shown. It is a good guess where they will end up.
If Krakoa World sticks around after Hox and Pox with a society of mutants my guess these teams will be playing different roles in the society. Marauders is probably the most interesting because clearly a bunch of former enemies are in this place. They can easily represent an opposing view to Xavier's view probably something more aggressive. The rest of the teams probably playing some role in the society the X-men are one who go into "the real world" and saves mutants bring them back, X-force could be responsible for protecting Kraoka world and doing black ops missions. Maybe Excaliber permanently stay out in Earth as a mutant presence, etc. That is my guess
I have a feeling that Fallen Angels is gonna be a Rosenberg book. The original certainly featured a lot of people he just killed, so maybe he can right some wrongs?
I'll read the Marauders books just for Vertigo and her outfits.
