After an astonishing debut season, Marvel and Disney’s X-Men ’97 returns this summer with more mutant mayhem on July 1 on Disney+. To celebrate the upcoming arrival of X-Men ’97 Season 2, Marvel unleashed a trailer for the new batch of episodes.
X gonna give it to ya
X-Men ’97 Season 2 continues with the heroic mutant team of X-Men, divided and thrown across different eras in time as they struggle to navigate their return home. Meanwhile, back in the 1990s, suspicious foes and new strains of mutant intolerance are on the rise in the wake of the X-Men’s absence. The second season of the original animated series features 9 episodes, and the voice cast includes Ross Marquand as Professor X, Matthew Waterson as Magneto, Ray Chase as Cyclops, Jennifer Hale as Jean Grey, Alison Sealy-Smith as Storm, Cal Dodd as Wolverine, Lenore Zann as Rogue, and George Buza as Beast.
The series is executive produced by Brad Winderbaum, Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Dana Vasquez-Eberhardt, Julia Lewald, Eric Lewald, Larry Houston, and Beau DeMayo. The supervising producer is Jake Castorena. Episodes written by JB Ballard, Beau DeMayo, Bailey Moore, Antony Sellitti, Brian Ford Sullivan, and Mariah Wilson. The episodic directors are Emmett Yonemura and Chase Conley.
What happens in the X-Men ’97 Season 2 trailer?
In today’s X-Men ’97 Season 2 trailer, Rogue laments the loss of a beloved X-Man, while the rest of the X-Men are lost in time, scattered across an era when the villain Apocalypse rules the planet. To defeat the X-Men once and for all, Apocalypse decides to strike the team at its most vulnerable: during the 1990s. To combat Apocalypse’s plan, Forge and Bishop embark on a mission to rescue the X-Men throughout time and space. The trailer continues with an awesome display of the X-Men’s powers, from Storm unleashing hellfire to Morph transforming into characters like Wolverine and Deadpool. The mission is literally a race against time to reassemble the team and stop Apocalypse from ever assuming power.
The trailer makes X-Men ’97 Season 2 look like an action-packed, emotional ride. I’m happy to see the show’s sophomore season leaning heavily into the drama of the series, because anyone who reads X-Men knows that franchise is all about the drama. I expect good things from the upcoming episodes.
