X-Men ’97
X-Men ’97 is a sequel to the popular X-Men: The Animated Series (1992). The show will attempt to maintain the same feel, look (even though with a more modern animation style), and theme of the original. It’ll also have many characters people are familiar with, like Cyclops, Wolverine, and Rogue, while featuring new ones, like Sunspot. Even some of the voice actors will be the same as in the prequel.
It’ll pick up after the ending of Season 5, in which we saw Professor Xavier on the brink of death. X-Men ’97 will probably deal with disputes between Cyclops and Magneto, who will join the team. The trailer also shows Jean Grey is pregnant, which can lead to many popular stories from the comics. Another interesting part is the riot against mutants, which might mean the cartoon will present a heavier political side than usual.
All in all, one thing is for sure. If you are an X-Men or a comic book fan, this has a lot of potential to be one of your favourite shows of 2024.

What Happened In Episode 7?
The X-Men gather for Gambit’s funeral while Rogue tries to find Gyruch and Trask’s current location. She even argues with Captain America over how to do it, a nice fan service for Avengers fans.
Rogue finds Gyrich and tries to read his mind, but ends up collapsing to the floor only getting a glimpse of Nimrod. The X-Men reunite with her and take her to the UN Peace Legion, where they’ll meet Trask. There, he reveals Sinister is building another kind of sentinel and jumps to his death. Rogue saves him but lets him fall when he says he doesn’t have more information.
He suddenly comes back as a human sentinel and easily defeats all of them. Thankfully, Cable arrives and uses a grenade that can put him to sleep. We learn that Sinister is working for Bastion another form of human sentinel, who kidnapped Magneto and knows Professor X is alive.
