X-Men ’97: A Resurrection of a Marvel Animated Classic
X-Men ’97 is going to be the long-awaited continuation of one of the best Marvel animated shows that have ever been produced, and it is set to make all of the hopes and aspirations of Marvel fans from the ’90s come true. The show is a resurrection of the fan-favorite show X-Men: The Animated Series, which debuted in 1992 and ran until 1997.
The 1990s saw the release of many different adaptations of Marvel characters, including Spider-Man: The Animated Series and X-Men: The Animated Series, which occasionally shared episodes with one another. It was like a Marvel Cinematic Universe existed before there was one.
X-Men: The Animated Series is considered the most impactful adaptation of the source material because of its enormous popularity and great fidelity to the original story. It solidified the X-Men as popular culture icons before the various film and television versions released since then.

What is the Release Date of X-Men ’97?
It has yet to be determined when exactly X-Men ’97 will be made available to the public, but the release window for the film has been set for the summer of 2023. For now, viewers interested in catching up on the first episode can watch X-Men: The Animated Series via streaming on Disney+. During its most popular season, X-Men: The Animated Series brought in an average of 23 million viewers per episode. Considering all of the excitement surrounding X-Men ’97, it appears that the new show is getting ready to outperform the first one.
Who is the Creator of X-Men ’97?
X-Men ’97 is produced by Marvel Studios, and Beau DeMayo is the show’s lead writer and executive producer. As the writer of “Blade,” Beau DeMayo succeeded both Bassam Tariq and Stacy Osei-Kuffour before being succeeded in that role by Michael Starrbury.
Is There a Trailer for X-Men ’97?
Even though X-Men: The Movie is reportedly far into post-production, we have yet to receive the entire trailer for the film. The only thing that comes close to being promotional material shown to the public is some character drawings displayed at recent conventions. These designs indicate that the series would maintain the same iconic and comic-accurate graphic style as X-Men: The Animated Series.
What is the Plot of X-Men ’97?
The following is how the plot summary for X-Men: 1997 reads:
Storm and Wolverine make an effort to keep the X-Men going. Magneto appears and expresses a desire to take the place of Charles Xavier. Sinister makes his appearance to put an end to the X-Men for good.
There are numerous more reasons why X-Men ’97 will be different from the movies or any other major current or recent onscreen adaptation. Besides, Magneto, not Professor X, will lead the X-Men. X-Men ’97 will also be different from the comic books. The only things that are known at this time are the newest members of the X-Men team, which are Sunspot, Nightcrawler, Bishop, and Cable, and the fact that the X-Men will be facing off against Mr. Sinister and his mutant experiments, the Sentinel robot army, and the Hellfire club in the near future.
Even though Marvel hasn’t divulged much information about X-Men ’97’s storyline, the entire basis of the new series has already been laid out in X-Men: The Animated Series. Because of this, X-Men: The Movie 1997 will not be bogged down with world-building and can jump straight into the primary storyline. Furthermore, in the same way that X-Men: The Animated Series became famous for its skillful adaptation of well-known comic book storylines from the 1980s, such as the “Days of Future Past” serial and the “Dark Phoenix Saga,” X-Men ’97 may adapt X-Men comic book stories from the 1990s.
