Our Marvel fans of the 90s might have already been looking forward to this: the continuation of »X-Men: The Animated Series«. That sounds very nostalgic! As of today, you can stream the revival with the title »X-Men '97« on Disney+. But the series is also worth watching for the people, who don't know the animated universe of X-Men yet. The trailer shows you the mutants in full action:
https://youtu.be/pv3Ss8o9gGQ»X-Men '97« starts, where the other series ended. The X-Men lost their leader Charles Xavier. But his dream for mutants and humans to live together in harmony shouldn't die with him. Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm and the others will make sure of that - if it weren't for Magneto, who suddenly claims that Xavier bequeathed him everything he had built during his lifetime. However, an even bigger threat appears, which the X-Men have to fight first.
But it's not just the world of the mutants that's tumultuous. Beau DeMayo, the brains behind the show, made headlines recently. Just weeks before the first season's premiere and after he had already finished his writing for season 2, he was fired by Marvel. No official reason was given to the public. We'll have to wait to see the effects of that on the show's future because season 2 is currently in production.
But for now, we are really excited to see how the original series' story will be continued!
