SDCC offered a glimpse at X-Men: The Animated Series’ long-awaited return X-Men fans finally heard a few details about X-Men ’97, the upcoming Disney Plus revival of X-Men: The Animated Series, at a Marvel Studios panel at San Diego Comic-Con on Friday.
X-Men ’97 will pick up where the original animated X-Men left off back in 1997 before its cancellation.
Original showrunners Eric and Julia Lewald and original series director Larry Houston are on board as consultants for X-Men ’97.
Again, that’s precisely where the new television show will pick things up, with Magneto serving as the unlikely new leader of the team.
