The New 'X-Men '97' Trailer Says 'Yes, More Mutants'
The new trailer highlights Apocalypse, Cable and other mutants across three timelines as the animated series returns with a larger cast and higher stakes.
- On July 1, X-Men '97 Season 2 premieres on Disney Plus, with the animated series divided across three parallel timelines all centered on the tyrannical villain Apocalypse.
- By segmenting its timelines into separate episodes rather than jumping between them, the show allows the X-Men to take bigger, bolder storytelling swings across Ancient Egypt and a distant war-torn future.
- Returning voice actors including Cal Dodd, George Buza, and Zann join contemporary replacements Ray Chase and Jennifer Hale, while an unstoppable, high-tech "Slave Train" in the apocalyptic 40th Century creates a thrilling set piece.
- Critics report that X-Men '97 Season 2 is "just as good, if not better, than anything I've seen before," maintaining the weirdest aspects of Marvel comics like its 1992 predecessor, X-Men: The Animated Series.
- Season 3 of X-Men '97 is already in production with Marvel Studios, while the X-Men will return to theaters on Dec. 18 in Avengers: Doomsday, expanding the franchise across animation and film.
