Disney+’s Returning Superhero Show Makes Avengers: Doomsday Even Better

by

A new Disney+ show is adding to the anticipation for Avengers: Doomsday, which is poised to be the biggest Marvel Cinematic Universe story in years. It will wrap up major storylines from the current Multiverse Saga and pave the way for a fresh start for the franchise, setting the stage for future movies like Doomsday‘s sequel, Avengers: Secret Wars.

One of the most anticipated parts of Avengers: Doomsday is its impressive cast, bringing together many of Marvel’s biggest heroes. Chris Evans will reprise his role as Captain America, and Robert Downey Jr. will play the main villain, Doctor Doom. The film will also feature a team-up of the New Avengers, Fantastic Four, and X-Men alongside Captain America and Thor.

Just the idea of Avengers: Doomsday is a dream come true for Marvel fans, bringing together so many of the biggest heroes and teams. The return of the X-Men is particularly exciting, as they haven’t been in a major movie since 2014. This comeback is highly anticipated and will likely be made even bigger with another upcoming Marvel project.

The second season of X-Men ’97 is scheduled to premiere around the middle of 2026, just a few months before the release of Avengers: Doomsday.

X-Men ’97 Season 2 Kicks Off A Big 2026 For The Mutant Team

Fans are hoping that season 2 of X-Men ’97 will lead to an even bigger year for the team in 2026. The first season, released in 2024, exceeded all expectations. It was visually stunning, with a smart, layered story, powerful themes, and thrilling action. Many consider X-Men ’97 season 1 to be one of the best X-Men stories ever told.

Both viewers and critics generally loved the show. It consistently ranks among the top-rated Marvel Cinematic Universe series on platforms like IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes.

Critical Rotten Tomatoes Score Audience Rotten Tomatoes Score IMDb Rating Average IMDb Rating Per Episode
99% 91% 8.7/10 8.64

If X-Men ’97 season 2 is as good as the first, it could be the start of a fantastic year for the series. Hopefully, the new season will keep all the things fans loved about the original.

Avengers: Doomsday Will Cap Off A Strong 2026 For The X-Men

Season 2 of X-Men ’97 is expected to increase excitement for Avengers: Doomsday. Even though the two shows won’t be directly connected – they take place in separate timelines – X-Men ’97 should deliver another great story featuring beloved characters. The show promises to handle these characters well, reminding viewers why the X-Men are such captivating heroes.

The story should move forward with Avengers: Doomsday. Interestingly, the quick look at the X-Men in the film’s trailer felt more true to the comic books than any of the previous X-Men movies. This is also a key strength of X-Men ’97. Both projects share this ability to show audiences what compelling X-Men stories can be.

There’s speculation that Jean Grey might make her first appearance in the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day movie. Sadie Sink, known from Stranger Things, has joined the cast, though her role is currently a secret. Because fans have often suggested Sink for the part of Jean Grey in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, many are wondering if this movie will be where she debuts. If so, it would further increase excitement for the X-Men before the Doomsday film arrives.

Even without Sink in the role of Jean, the second season of X-Men ’97 will likely generate a lot of excitement for Avengers: Doomsday.
