Wait … did Gambit just charge up Wolverine’s CLAWS?
Wait … is Jean Grey PREGNANT?
Wait … did that Daily Bugle headline mention the HELLFIRE GALA?
Wait … is Magneto now in charge of the X-MEN?!
These were the questions I asked myself when I first laid eyes
on the debut trailer for Marvel Animation’s X-Men ’97, arriving on
Disney+ March 20. The new series picks up where the original 1990s X-Men
cartoon – arguably one of the best children’s animated series of all time –
left off nearly three decades ago. With Professor Xavier gone, Cyclops assumes leadership
of the team, which is tasked with continuing his fight for mutant equality … while
also scrapping with some giant purple-and-pink robots while they’re at it.
The animation is updated, the character designs are tweaked,
some of the voices have changed and the animation has a more modern and almost
anime style, but this trailer affirms my hope that the new series will be more
than worth the wait based on the, well, waits I listed above.
Speaking of the trailer, watch it below, bub!
