Marvel has revealed the episode titles and release dates for the upcoming X-Men ’97 Disney+ series. The studio released the information in a fun way by tweeting out a retro Disney+ magazine cover. The cover labels each episode and its release date like a chapter of the magazine. It also shows off the art for the full line-up of X-Men featured in the animated series. Of course, the series is much anticipated as it is the continuation of the X-Men: The Animated Series from the 90s. So, the nostalgic magazine cover reveal is the perfect route for the announcement.
X-Men ’97 Titles And Times
Marvel’s official X (formerly Twitter) account made the X-Men ’97 announcement. It kicked off with the surprise reveal that the series would be premiering in just two weeks. Accompanying that is the retro magazine cover that displays all the information for the series. It also shows off the updated looks for Magneto, Cyclops, Bishop, Morph, Gambit, Storm, Rogue, Beast, Jubilee, Jean Grey, Wolverine, and Forge. Of course, the X-Men leader, Charles Xavier, is absent from the group photo as he is missing when this series kicks off.
Beside the photo are the premiere dates and titles for each episode of the first season. The series officially kicks off on March 20 with a two-episode premiere. Then, each week, a new episode will air on Disney+. Here is the schedule for X-Men ’97:
