We know that Brisson and Thompson can write REALLY REALLY Well when not like, flooding a book with ideas from three different writers and working with different writers scripting scenes. Their involvement probably signals that the New Mutants and Captain Marvel are involved.
Rosenberg... I don't hate him, Dead Souls was really good and I'm fond of PR, so we'll see.
That said I'm not sure how I feel about this yet. I trust Ewing, but it gives me major Heroes in Crisis vibes.

Marvel on *** lol. Lemme recover from War of Realms, Absolute Carnage and Powers of Hickman.
Although I appreciate that Jubilee made it onto an event poster.
"Cable was right!"
Hmm, this means Excalibur probably features in there somewhere. Rogue is on the cover too and she's also on that team.

Could it be Apocalypse?
Since three Excalibur members have been featured so far, Digifiend's theory might be correct.
"Cable was right!"
So Jim Cheung is confirmed on the art, which probably means the Wiccan/Hulkling panels he posted on his IG recently were for this.
To be fair, it might still be about Hulkling, in the bigger picture. Not only he was in the very first teaser, but the ''One Will Unite Them'' phrase was used again in the solicit as some sort of tagline. So maybe he's the key player in this, which would be exciting, as events usually revolve around the same A/B-list characters.
Ewing bringing back Korvak.
"Cable was right!"
I know everyone is thinking Hulking will be the one who unites everyone. But why not somebody else who has not been seen all year but was remade, like Hercules. The cosmic threat could either be Korvac or somehow tie to annihilation. Who is dead? My money is Peter Parker or perhaps Hank Pym after attempting to break free from Ultron.
Since I mostly just look at solicits to confirm that yet another month will go by without the Scarlet Witch being in anything, I wonder if this will have any trace of what Bleeding Cool claimed was the plan for the Scarlet Witch/Quicksilver/Magneto relationship to be reaffirmed in 2020, or if those plans really are on hold. If so, it could be several more months before the Maximoffs appear in anything again. Sigh.
Speaking of which, Jim Zub has two more new books to be announced. One (not the Gamerverse Avengers Iron Man comic) being out in December, which is described as an event mini, and the other being on ongoing launching in February. What if the mini is the sequel to No Road Home?
