I think this strays into Speculative Troping - nothing in the story or promo has pitched it this way (has it?), it's just based on the lack of an announcement (so far) for Howard's next X-office work

''Betsy Braddock: Captain Britain'' is a 2023 comic book limited series from Creator/MarvelComics. It's written by Creator/TiniHoward.
The series, set in the shared Franchise/MarvelUniverse, is part of the wider ''ComicBook/XMen'' line and a SequelSeries to ''ComicBook/KnightsOfX'', which ended a couple of months earlier. It's part of ComicBook/DestinyOfX, the third phase of the ''X-Men'' franchise's long-running [[ComicBook/XMenTheKrakoanAge Krakoan Age]] saga.
Betsy Braddock, formerly code-named Psylocke, has now become the new Captain Britain (the previous captain, her twin brother Brian, is now happily married and settled down - he and Meggan are busy raising their young daughter). Betsy's also started a new relationship with Rachel Summers, another former member of the X-Men.
However, Britain's not a good place to be a mutant at the moment. Diplomatic relations with Krakoa are poor, at best, and the mystical Coven Akkaba are conspiring against Betsy. Their ally, the ancient sorceress Morgan le Fay, isn't against the idea of ''a'' Captain Britain... but, predictably, she'd prefer it to be someone she controls.

!!''Betsy Braddock: Captain Britain'' contains examples of the following tropes:
* TheBusCameBack:
** Faiza Hussain, aka 'Excalibur', returns for the first time in over a year, following her last appearance in ''ComicBook/TheDeathOfDoctorStrange''.
** The four resurrected S.T.R.I.K.E. mutant psychics (Alison Double, Tom Lennox, Vicki Reppion and Kevin Mulhearn) return for the first time since the end of ''ComicBook/Excalibur2019''.
* SequelSeries: It's a direct continuation of ''ComicBook/KnightsOfX'', which was itself a sequel to ''ComicBook/Excalibur2019''. All three are written by Creator/TiniHoward and Betsy is a key character in the previous team books.
* VariantCover: The first issue has three variant covers as well as the standard version, including one by Creator/PeachMomoko. All of them focus on Betsy.
