X-Men ’97 Trailer Shows Glorious Return Of Beloved Marvel’s Mutants

Disney+ and Marvel have unveiled the first trailer for the upcoming X-Men ’97 animated series, which will premiere on Disney+ on 20 March 2024 (via Empire Magazine). It’s the sequel to the original X-Men animated series.

The trailer teases how the X-Men will have to cope with the death of Charles Xavier AKA Professor X, and forced to work together with Magneto as part of Charles Xavier’s Last Will And Testament.

This was probably inspired by Uncanny X-Men (2013) #23 published in July 2014.

Many comic book fans grew up watching the classic X-Men animated series in the 90s, which officially ended its run more than 20 years ago. The new animated series is titled X-Men ’97, and it will be picking up where the original series left off. Cal Dodd, Lenore Zann, George Buza, Adrian Hough, Christopher Britton, Catherine Disher, Chris Potter, Alison Sealy-Smith and Alyson Court are all reprising their roles.

X-Men The Animated Series originally aired on Fox Kids for 76 episodes across five seasons from 1992 to 1997. The series is currently available to stream in its entirety on Disney+ Hotstar.
