Not surprisingly, X-Men ’97 has been the darling of toy manufacturers lately, given the popularity of the original animated series and the classic look of the characters. We expect the minifigures to be the most coveted from this wave.
X-Men ’97 Season 2 Recently Confirmed
During 2022’s San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel Studios gave fans their first official look at their upcoming reboot of X-Men: The Animated Series, X-Men ’97, and even revealed something else pretty major. The studio also revealed that they were developing a second season of X-Men ’97, and will continue the story that began in the fan-favorite original series.
Marvel Studios revealed a cool sizzle reel of X-Men: The Animated Series as the panel transitioned to the reboot series, X-Men ’97. All of the original voice actors are back to play their original characters from the first show, “This is gonna be their first project since acquiring the rights back,” executive producer Beau DeMayo told the crowd. DeMayo also made sure to give a shout out to all of the original creatives from the first series who stood up for a round of applause. Rogue, Beast, Gambit, Jean Gray, Wolverine, Storm, Jubilee, and Cyclops are all expected to return.
Rogue, Gambit, Wolverine, Cyclops, Jean Gray, Beast, Cable, Bishop, Forge, and Morph are all returning and will joined by Nightcrawler and Sunspot. X-Men ’97 will follow Magneto as he will be leading the X-Men in Professor Xavier’s absence. Mister Sinister will serve as the lead antagonist in the series. “Sinister is back in a big way,” DeMayo revealed. “He is going to be holding the X-Men’s fate in the fire and telling humanity…to face the future.”
It was thought that X-Men ’97 would begin streaming exclusively on Disney+ in fall 2023, but that date may or may not be pushed back to 2024. When a firm release date does arrive, you’ll be able to find it right here.
