The first trailer for X-Men '97 season 2 has arrived... and we're ready for an intergalactic battle through time starring our favorite supergroup.
In the brief clip, which can be viewed above, we pick up right where season 1 left off with the X-Men scattered across space and time. Jean Grey and Cyclops are stuck in 3960 A.D., with Rogue, Nightcrawler, and Beast in Ancient Egypt circa 3000 B.C. Logan also appears to be alive and well, despite having had his adamantium skeleton ripped apart by Magneto in the season 1 finale. We met a young Apocalypse in the season 1 finale, but according to the trailer, it looks like present-day Apocalypse is ready to destroy the X-Men throughout every single timeline.
We also get two very cool Easter eggs: Morph shapeshifting into Deadpool (see below), and the final shot of the trailer paying homage to the cover of Wolverine Vol. 1.
Per the official synopsis, Season 2 "continues with the heroic mutant team of X-Men, divided and thrown across different eras in time as they struggle to navigate their return home. Meanwhile, back in the 1990s, suspicious foes and new strains of mutant intolerance are on the rise in the wake of the X-Men’s absence."
The returning voice cast includes Ross Marquand as Professor X, Matthew Waterson as Magneto, Ray Chase as Cyclops, Jennifer Hale as Jean Grey, Alison Sealy-Smith as Storm, Cal Dodd as Wolverine, Lenore Zann as Rogue, and George Buza as Beast.
X-Men '97 season 2 is set to hit Disney Plus on July 1, with nine episodes airing weekly. For more, check out our guide to all the upcoming Marvel movies and shows for everything else that's on the way.
