X-Men ‘97 episode 5 was devastating, even by Marvel standards. Now, series creator Beau DeMayo has hinted that this is only a warm up for what’s to come.
"Episode 8-10 is my big one," DeMayo tweeted in response to a fan thinking that this was the big episode. They added in another reply, "This was our warm-up." Uh-oh.
You can forgive fans for thinking X-Men ‘97 wouldn’t be able to wring any more emotion out of us after this exhausting entry.
Spoilers inevitably follow but, honestly, we couldn’t quite believe everything that went down: from Logan and Jean’s kiss, to Gambit seemingly perishing – along with multiple other mutants, and potentially Magneto – on Genosha after the Sentinel attack.
DeMayo, who was fired from X-Men ‘97 just days before the show premiered, also took to Twitter to reveal the identity of a handful of casualties, including Madelyne Pryor and Moira MacTaggert. Both were seen lying on stretchers at the episode’s end, alongside Sebastian Shaw.
X-Men ‘97 is currently airing on Disney Plus. For more, check out the X-Men ‘97 release schedule, then be sure to check out all the new superhero movies flying into cinemas very soon.
