New Horizons for X-Men ’97
The wildly successful Disney Plus show, X-Men ’97 has caused a stir with the confirmation of seasons 2 and 3. The first season’s outstanding reception and viewership have etched its mark in Marvel’s record-breaking spree.
Exceptional Music Makers Back for Another Round
Season 2 sees the return of exquisite music creators integral to the show’s success in season 1. The Newton Brothers, conveyed through member Taylor Newton Stewart, have confirmed their comeback. Known for their exceptional tunes, these music maestros have won over fans eager for more resonant sounds in the upcoming seasons.
Stewart shares some exciting insights about the upcoming plotlines. While the team is yet to start creating for the new season, the anticipation is palpable. Providing some inside scoop, Stewart explains how they produce several versions of songs, choosing only the best for the show.
Return of the Trio
Three notable voice actors from season 1 will be reprising their roles in the upcoming season. Cal Dodd who breathed life into Wolverine’s character, Lenore Zann famed for voicing Rogue, and Lawrence Bayne behind X-Cutioner, have all confirmed their participation. Fans will also recognize actors from the original X-Men: The Animated Series lending their voices in the continuation series. Making a switch in roles, Chris Potter, earlier known for playing Gambit, transitions to voice Cable in the series.
Marvelous Connections
A deeper link is being woven between X-Men ’97 and the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This is evident in the show’s poignant references to spine-chilling scenes from Avengers: Infinity War. This successful integration only adds to the viewing pleasure of enthusiastic fans.
A Dose of Suspense
Jaws dropped with the X-Men ’97 episode 5 cliffhanger. Fans anxiously expected the reveal of Cassandra Nova as the new villain. However, the twist did not lead to Nova. Jake Castorena, the show’s director, manages this skilfully, keeping fans on tenterhooks. The suspenseful final episode has viewers on the edge of their seats.
Fan Theories After Mid-Season Finale
Disney’s X-Men ’97 achieves the challenging feat of showcasing stronger and more incredible mutants, unattainable even by acclaimed live-action films. Each episode pushes the envelope and solidifies the show as a comic era achievement.
The mid-season finale hinted at the debut of Cassandra Nova, a formidable adversary in the X-Men universe. Instead of following fan expectations, the show took an unexpected turn. Director Jake Castorena urges fans to maintain realistic expectations while reiterating no disappointment in the upcoming developments.
Unanswered Questions
One key query post the Episode 5 climax is the glaring absence of the anticipated debut of Cassandra Nova, a well-known villain. Despite this, the show progresses effectively and promises more enthralling sagas. Fans are hoping to see Nova in action in Deadpool 3, with a captivating character arc awaiting her.

The show’s fans are rejoicing with their favourite voice artists and celebrated musicians set to return.
