SNIKT! ‘X-Men ‘97’ Trailer Hints at Suitably Epic Return for Classic Cartoon

 


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!
