At Marvel Studios’ D23 2024 presentation for Marvel Animation, where Screen Rant is in attendance, X-Men ‘97 season 2 was one of the shows they brought. After the big ending to X-Men ‘97 season 1, the first season 2 footage was finally presented to the crowd. Check out the full description below:
X-Men wear the Morrison Suits – Wolverine, Jean & Scott. Nightcrawler fighting wearing Egyptian robes, Living Danger Room female robot character (Danger). Wolverine seemingly recovered from Magneto’s attack on him at the end of season 1, shows his claws out.
Danger & Polaris Are Joining The X-Men ’97 Cast For Season 2
During the footage that was presented for X-Men ’97 season 2, it was revealed that a couple of new faces will be coming into the fold. One of them is Danger, based on the Danger Room from the X-Men mythology, which is where the mutants train in the X-Mansion. It has been known in the comics that the Danger Room gains self-awareness and takes a more physical role in the mythology.
While she was one of the X-Men characters featured in X-Men: The Animated Series, there will be a bigger focus on one of Magneto’s many children in X-Men ’97 season 2. Lorna Dane, a.k.a. Polaris, will show up in X-Men ’97 season 2, after making a cameo in season 1 where viewers saw an older version of her. At the time of this story’s publication, a voice actor for Polaris has not been revealed for X-Men ‘97 season 2.
At this point, it seems very likely that X-Men ’97 season 2 will not be arriving until sometime in 2025, given how Marvel Studios may be rolling out Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Eyes of Wakanda, and Marvel Zombies first. However, that doesn’t mean that Disney+ couldn’t put out a new X-Men ’97 season 2 trailer before 2024 is over. For now, the world can relive X-Men ’97 season 1 exclusively on Disney+.
