Seldom have audiences been treated to a “requel” as exceptional as X-Men ‘97. Critics and fans alike have had nothing but praise for the show, and how it has taken a Saturday morning staple and elevated almost every aspect of production, storytelling, and acting.
When other reboots attempt to cater to a mixed-generation audience, they often have to let the legacy characters (those actors from the original property) share screen time with a new generation. X-Men ‘97 was in a unique position to bring back the original voice cast as if no time had gone by whatsoever.

X-Men ’97 was a treat for every Marvel fan. The show has successfully recreated the nostalgia, thanks to Marvel boss Kevin Feige who insisted the show must bring the original cast of Fox show, X-Men: The Animated Series. It makes sense as X-Men ‘97 was the continuation of the classic animated show in the ’90s.

X-Men ’97 opened to positive reviews on Disney+ and many critics hailed it as a nostalgic throwback to the original X-Men: The Animated Series. Just before its release, the showrunner Beau DeMayo exited the series for some unspecified reason, starting a whole new rumor mill on the internet. When he was part of the show, DeMayo revealed that Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man films would have never happened if it was not for the original X-Men animated series.

While the live-action Marvel Universe is dominated by the Avengers, Marvel comics have had a different character hierarchy. The entire multiverse seemed to revolve around the stories of the X-Men as a whole and while the Avengers were important, they simply weren’t as significant as the mutants. They were the reason for the success of the franchise and the culturally significant impact it has had over decades.
X-Men (2000)
It would seem, that effect does not get brushed past by anyone, as the showrunner of X-Men ’97 revealed an interesting theory he has about the live-action universe that Marvel has created. One that suggests that none of the MCU projects, Sam Rami’s Spider-Man films, and even DC projects would have been successful or existed had it not been for one animated Marvel show.

The first two episodes of Marvel’s X-Men ’97 dropped on Disney+ a few hours ago and the episodes have managed to impress new audiences as well as the fans of the original. The original X-Men: The Animated Show was released in 1992 and lasted until 1997. The new series picks up from where the original left off. It is interesting to learn that the original series almost never happened due to the Hollywood studios’ lack of confidence in the project.
X-Men ’97 started streaming on Disney+
Marvel Studios announced the reboot of the old series back in November 2021, under the banner of Marvel Animation. The series will explore the X-Men characters including Cyclops, Jean Grey, Wolverine, Storm, Rogue, Gambit, Beast, Jubilee, and Morph.

"X-Men '97" brings back the marvelous mutants as if they never left TV screens after the original series finale, "Graduation Day." The trailer promised a tone and style befitting the original, plus plenty of Marvel comic book Easter eggs.
Now, the X-Men are larger than life — and ultimately, any one actor. In the 27-year hiatus between the 1992 series and this revival, the X-Men finally made it to live-action (we ranked their cinematic adventures here) and starred in other animated series. Since "X-Men '97" is a revival of a specific version of the X-Men, though, the show has brought back cast members and creatives from the original show. If they hadn't, then why revive this series instead of just making a new "X-Men" cartoon?
In its opening titles, "X-Men" would introduce each member of the team one-by-one with hero shots demonstrating their powers and/or quirks alongside huge text displaying their names.
