As a huge Marvel fan, I’m thrilled to hear that another X-Men project is already in the works! This news dropped during Comic-Con, which is awesome timing, especially since we’re still wrapping up Season 2 of X-Men ’97. It’s exciting to know they’re already thinking ahead, even before we have a release date for Season 3!
Marvel announced plans for at least two more seasons of X-Men ’97, and now fans have even better news: Season 4 is already being developed! This will likely reassure viewers who had to wait two years between Seasons 1 and 2, as Marvel previously promised to avoid such a long gap in the future.
X-Men ’97 Season 4 Is on the Way
The success of X-Men ’97 aligns with Marvel’s broader plans for the X-Men franchise. In addition to future seasons of the animated series, Marvel Studios is creating a new live-action X-Men film within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Jake Schreier, who directed Thunderbolts, will be directing this movie. Brad Winderbaum, a key leader at Marvel overseeing television, animation, comics and franchises, believes…
Brad Winderbaum previously expressed hope that X-Men ’97 will last at least five seasons – matching the length of the original series. He believes both animated and live-action X-Men projects can coexist, pointing to the multiple current Spider-Man properties like Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, the Spider-Verse films, and various other shows geared towards different audiences as an example. While a preschool X-Men show isn’t currently planned, Winderbaum feels X-Men ’97 can definitely run alongside live-action adaptations.
X-Men ’97 Season 2 Is a Disney+ Hit
There are still three episodes remaining in X-Men ’97 Season 2. This season sees the X-Men scattered throughout different time periods as they try to find their way back to the present. While they’re gone, things are getting tense back in the 1990s, with new enemies and growing prejudice against mutants.
The new show has launched to rave reviews, earning a perfect score from critics and widespread fan approval. Reviewers highlight its fun, heartfelt storytelling, and nostalgic appeal, while audiences give it a 95% positive rating.
You can now watch X-Men ’97 on Disney+, with new episodes released every Wednesday.
