Watch the first clip from X-Men '97 Season 2 below:
This new Season 2 clip builds directly on the events from the first season's finale. The team finds itself divided and displaced across different time periods after a major confrontation. Back in the 1990s setting, rising mutant intolerance creates additional challenges for the heroes as they fight to return home and confront new threats.
The story continues to explore the heroic mutant team known as the X-Men. Suspicious foes emerge while the absence of the team stirs unrest. The clip effectively teases the larger narrative involving Apocalypse and his assembled forces, promising deeper conflicts and character development throughout the season.
X-Men '97 Season 2 packs nine fast-paced episodes filled with time-hopping adventures and escalating mutant threats. Voices return with Cal Dodd as the ferocious Wolverine, Alison Sealy-Smith commanding as Storm, and George Buza bringing wisdom to Beast, alongside Lenore Zann's fiery Rogue, Ray Chase's steadfast Cyclops, Jennifer Hale's powerful Jean Grey, Ross Marquand's Professor X, and Matthew Waterson's complex Magneto.
The three-episode premiere blasts onto Disney+ this Wednesday, kicking off the season with non-stop mutant action and major storyline payoffs. Fans can expect the X-Men to navigate divided timelines while battling both old enemies and fresh dangers in their fight for survival. This launch sets up what promises to be an explosive continuation of the beloved animated legacy.
