All the 90s Marvel fans must have missed their childhood days when all that one could hear was, “To me, my X-Men!” The highly anticipated revival of the best Marvel animated series ever made is finally on its way. The title “X-Men ’97” can be a bit confusing, but as it’s a revival of the beloved Saturday morning show that ended in 1997, it does seem appropriate. Being one of the earliest adaptations of world-famous X-Men characters, this animated series served as a foundation for the popularity of these characters before they got into adaptations for movies and television series. Here is a detailed discussion of everything we know about “X-Men ’97.”
What would happen in X-Men ’97?
Produced by Marvel Studios Animation, the series is written and created by Beau DeMayo for the streaming service Disney+. It is based on Marvel’s beloved X-men and would see the events after ‘X-Men: The Animated Series’ ended in 1997. DeMayo also said that the upcoming show would focus on a separate story from the currently running MCU’s multiverse. It will feature the events after the original series ended in the late 90s. Moreover, in this show, X-Men leaders will be shown struggling after the loss of Professor X.
When is X-Men ’97 coming?
The original show was one of the first shows that contributed to the popularity of X-Men. As per a tweet by Marvel Studios, the series will return on March 20, 2024, after making the fans wait for almost three decades. The brand-new poster is designed as a TV guide cover, and not only does it reveal the dates of each episode, but it also has the titles for each episode written over it. Further, it can also make the 90s kids nostalgic because of its classic theme. By giving fans a peek at the episode’s titles, Marvel Studios and Disney+ have created a stir among them. The release date of X-Men ’97’s first two episodes is March 20, with the remaining eight scheduled to premiere with a gap of one week between them.
