    The possibilities that Marvel Studios acquired when Disney purchased Fox seemed to become limitless. After all, it was revealed that they now regained rights to all of the X-Men characters that Fox had locked up for years. This meant big things for the Marvel Cinematic Universe going forward – though Marvel Studios’ first project would actually be something a little more familiar. In fact, they decided to revive the fan-favorite television program X-Men: The Animated Series. Now, as shown below, the first look at this revival – titled X-Men ’97 – was revealed at this year’s Comic-Con.

    This series was already highly-anticipated based on the number of fans that have grown fond of the original animated series. Furthermore, however, fans have noticed that Disney and Marvel Studios subtly put nods to X-Men: The Animated Series in their most recent mutant appearances. In particular, both Professor X’s introduction from Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and the mutant revelation from Ms. Marvel were accompanied with the X-Men ’97 rendition of the X-Men: The Animated Series theme song.

    This seemed to imply that big things were coming for fans of the X-Men brand – and now the first look at the upcoming series has confirmed this.

    Here are the new first look glimpses that have been revealed for the upcoming Disney Plus series X-Men ’97:


    The new images reveal not only that the original team will be returning – but that they’ll be joined by the return of Magneto. Furthermore, it has been revealed that Magneto will actually be leading the X-Men. As for those still working on the team, it appears that the superhero group still includes Rogue, Beast, Gambit, Jean Grey, Wolverine, Storm, Jubilee, and Cyclops. The fact that Magneto will be working alongside them and leading the characters through whatever new storyline is ahead is more than exciting for longtime fans.

    It’s expected that more details regarding the animated series will be released soon. As such, stay tuned to ScreenGeek for further updates as we have them.
