Fortunately, those attending SDCC had the opportunity to see a small teaser, confirming the return of characters such as Rogue, Beast, Gambit, Jean Grey, Wolverine, Storm, Jubilee, Cyclops, Magneto, Cable, Bishop, Forge, Morph , Nightcrawler, Sunspot, Sentinels, Mr. Sinister, White Queen and Sebastian Shaw. In addition to this, it has been mentioned that the character design will be on par with what was seen in the 90’s series, but a couple of visual improvements.
Magneto can be seen in the teaser, who says, “You’re looking at the new leader of the X-Men.” Let’s remember that the original series ended with Professor X in a situation that was not very encouraging for his life, so this comment by Magneto refers to these events. It is important to mention that X Men ’97 It takes place after the events we saw almost 30 years ago.
Lastly, it was mentioned that one of the main themes of X Men ’97 will be to answer the question of “Why do we still need the X-Men?” Considering that Eric and Julia Lewald, the showrunners of the 90s series are back as consultants, the answer is probably more complicated than one might think.
