First Clip From X-Men 97 Released
In 2021 Disney+ made an unexpected announcement — check that, an unX-pected announcement. The 1990s X-Men cartoon, a massive hit in its day running five seasons on Fox Kids, would be resurrected to continue right where it left off. Direct from 1997, it’s X-Men 97! Today the first full clip from the series was released…which is cutting it rather close as the actual show premieres in less than a week. The series ended with the apparent death of Professor X and the passing of the torch to Cyclops as the new leader of the X-Men. One thing about those final episodes is that the show’s budget was reduced, so the animation took a hit. As you can see from this clip, it’s received quite the glow-up from there…. If only it could’ve looked like this back then. The Sentinels are after the mutants again, and the whole gang is here to fight them, even Morph and Bishop, who only showed up on occasion. One cast member that WON’T be there?
