X-Men ’97 episode 9 will continue the show’s three-episode finale when it releases on Disney+. Since the season began, many have counted X-Men ’97 among the best MCU TV shows. From its fantastic animation to its exploration of the titular team and the political messaging synonymous with X-Men comics, X-Men ’97‘s consistent quality makes excitement for the show rise week to week. This will likely continue into X-Men ’97 season 2’s story, which was confirmed to be in development before season 1 began airing.

Concerning the show’s story, X-Men ’97 episode 8’s ending will lead directly into episode 9. The latter is titled “Tolerance is Extinction – Part 2” and will continue where its predecessor left off before episode 10 concludes X-Men ’97 season 1; Charles Xavier has returned to Earth to lead the fight against Bastion, while Magneto has seemingly declared war on humanity. With so much at stake and an all-out war brewing between humans and mutants on several fronts, the exact release time for X-Men ’97 episode 9 on Disney+ is in high demand.

The episode will be released at these times on Wednesday, May 8, and likely continue directly from where the last episode left off.

What To Expect From X-Men ’97 Episode 9

Mangeto’s Turn & Professor X’s Resurgence Will Likely Be The Focus Of X-Men ’97 Episode 9

Concerning what to expect from X-Men ’97 episode 9, it is likely that the show picks up almost immediately from episode 8’s final scene. Charles Xavier finally returned to Earth, crashing onto the grounds of the X-Mansion and summoning the likes of Storm, Beast, Jean, and Scott to him. This coincided with Magneto’s EMP pulse that disabled the Prime Sentinels, yet also likely caused a great deal of destruction around the globe.

As such, X-Men ’97 episode 9 will likely focus on Xavier’s return as the team’s leader. Professor X will likely look to regroup with his X-Men and figure out the best path forward in the fight against Bastion and, potentially, Magneto. While Magneto and Professor X could reach common ground, it seems the former is tired of fighting for the latter’s dream, which he may be even less inclined to do knowing his old friend is alive. With Bastion’s plan still underway, X-Men ’97 episode 9 promises a battle on three fronts for the future of a united human-mutant world.
