X-Men '97 Season 3 Gets A New Head Writer, And It's A Good Thing
Get ready for some mutant mayhem, because X-men '97 season 3 is happening! We know, you're probably still reeling from the epic cliffhanger of season 1, and you're anxiously awaiting the arrival of season 2. But hold onto your X-Men suits because there's exciting news: the show's creative team is getting a shakeup for season 3, and it's a promising change.
After the original showrunner Beau DeMayo departed before the premiere of season 1, Marvel Studios and Disney+ have recruited a new head writer for season 3. Enter Matthew Chauncey, a seasoned writer with impressive experience in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Why Matthew Chauncey Is A Promising Head Writer For X-Men '97 Season 3
Chauncey's arrival is a good sign for X-men '97 fans for several reasons. First, he's a seasoned Marvel writer. He's already contributed to the MCU's animated show What If...?, working on multiple episodes in seasons 1 and 2, and is even set to become the head writer for season 3. Not only that, but Chauncey has also dipped his toes in the MCU's live-action world, co-writing three episodes of Ms. Marvel.
While it's early to tell how Chauncey's style will blend with X-Men '97, it's reported that he'll be collaborating with Jake Castorena, the show's head director. This means there's likely to be some overlap in their visions, with Castorena's production already underway for season 2.
Deadline has also mentioned that scripts for season 2 have reportedly been "revised." This suggests that Chauncey's creative direction for season 3 may be influencing the storyline of the upcoming season. It's like a sneak peek into the future of X-Men '97, with a hint of the exciting adventures that await us.
Fans will also be excited to know that there's a chance we'll get more information on X-Men '97 seasons 2 and 3 at San Diego Comic-Con 2024. Marvel Studios will be there, so keep your eyes peeled for any announcements about our beloved mutants.
In the meantime, if you haven't already, catch up on season 1 of X-Men '97 on Disney+ to get ready for the wild ride ahead! The show continues the story of the 1990s Animated Series, bringing back our favorite mutants like Wolverine, Storm, Rogue, Gambit, Cyclops, Beast, Magneto, and Nightcrawler. They're facing off against villains like Mr. Sinister, the Sentinels, and the Hellfire Club. It's a blast from the past that will leave you craving more.
