Though they aren't given any sort of formal introduction to audiences, the trailer does briefly reveal two new mutants from the comics joining the fray, apparently as part of Magneto's new Brotherhood of Mutants.

The pair are Black Queen (Kota Eberhardt) and Red Lotus (Andrew Stehlin), a "psychic vampire" who drains the life-force of others for her own gain and a super-powered martial artist respectively.

Fans have pointed out that Red Lotus was actually referenced in Deadpool 2, his name appearing in Chinese on a bank card during the early Asia-set portion of the film. Nice.

While it's unlikely the pair will have a particularly substantial role, it's nevertheless neat to see a few new faces entering the mix.
