Get Ready for X-Men '97 Season 2
X-Men fans rejoice! The highly-anticipated return of X-Men '97 just got a whole lot more exciting with the debut of Season 2 footage! The animated show based on the classic Marvel series just debuted its second season at the D23 Expo! Marvel Animation blew everyone away, but X-Men '97 was truly a treat!
For fans that loved the epic season finale of X-Men '97's first season, Season 2 is about to get epic, so make sure your X-Men knowledge is fresh, you might have some questions popping up when watching the show! Fans are stoked for the next adventure as the first footage of the season just dropped - we saw how Wolverine escaped from that wild attack from Magneto. Plus we got some really cool updates on their classic looks - just wait till you see the costumes!
New Costumes!
Get ready to see some killer costumes! Everyone was looking forward to this one. And now that those new designs for Wolverine, Jean Grey, and Cyclops made their way on screen at D23, fans can’t wait for the official release of Season 2! The iconic 90s designs made the series a hit for the last three decades, and we can only expect those same styles, but amped up and even more rad for the next season.
The artstyle that makes X-Men '97 look just as it did on our TVs all those years ago just got that '90s vibe dialed up. You know those classic color combos that set it apart? That’s making a comeback. And some fan favorites just got a glow-up with their looks – just wait until you see those redesigns, you’ll totally freak out!
Wolverine & Magneto
What is X-Men without its most metal characters? I’m talking about Logan, aka Wolverine, who has the sickest claw-out moves, and Magneto, the mad genius of mutant power. This Season 2 footage confirmed that Logan's totally okay, which means Magneto just gave him a serious adrenaline rush! It also confirms what fans were hoping for – we get more Magneto in this next season. With all those big bads running around, Season 2 might have a few moments of big-scale destruction! We don’t know how the creators of X-Men will bring it all together, but if the previous season was any indication, you are in for one wild ride!
Remember how X-Men '97 ended? The action is about to escalate with the big "X-Men versus Magneto" confrontation. You're in for a real shock of the future to see how it all plays out. Even fans that were really into the original animated series (because that’s where it really started, in the 1990s, on TV) will find something new here! It's like they pulled a wild card with the plot lines and all the storylines we loved!
New X-Men '97 Premiere Date & Release
We haven’t got a confirmed premiere date yet, but there are lots of hints pointing to a release sometime this fall! With a trailer dropping later, hopefully a new release date will surface with it! In the meantime, if you need a refresher, get back on those X-Men '97 adventures before it's back on your screens, because things are about to get intense. The premiere for the new X-Men season could be really important, showing what they have up their sleeves for the next year of the series.
Disney+, it seems like this is your moment to shine and announce that big date for your new X-Men '97 episodes! With all this buzzing going around - and everyone looking for answers to the first season finale! We're sure it will be bigger and better than what was shown at D23 - we just need to know WHEN! The whole new season of X-Men ‘97 is ready, it’s just about to be released to the public and will set those Marvel characters off for a great new chapter!
