The attack leads to the untimely death of several mutants. Marvel has augmented the episode’s intensity with a compelling teaser. It promises significant developments in forthcoming episodes.
Cassandra Nova’s Possible Antagonistic Stance
Theories among the fans have started brewing about potential antagonists for the remaining season. Cassandra Nova, a fan-favorite character, is believed to take this role. This potential antagonist’s appearance is expected to recur in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) crossover with Deadpool & Wolverine.
However, alluding to a potential surprise in the series, the teaser implies an unexpected MCU appearance. Such an event could have hefty implications on the expansive Marvel multiverse.
Speculation of Captain America’s MCU Return
The X-Men ’97 teaser reveals an icy landscape and a shield plunging from the sky. Zealot fans were quick to identify the shield as Captain America’s.

Generally, all mutant characters appearing in the MCU integrate their X-Men: The Animated Series features with Fox Studios’ X-Men versions.
