According to the official synopsis, Illyana and Piotr will embark on a journey back to their homeland, Russia, where they'll encounter ancient monsters straight out of Russian folklore. This intriguing premise sets the stage for an epic battle, as the siblings must put aside their differences and unite to save their country.
