What do we want in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? We want mutants, and more importantly, the X-Men! When are we getting it?! No one knows.
We’ve seen clues of mutants' inevitable to the MCU arrival in the Multiverse Saga through titles such as Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, The Marvels, Ms. Marvel, and more. However, other than the past actors from 20th Century Fox X-Men franchise appearing in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, there hasn’t been confirmation of when we’ll see Marvel’s Mightiest Mutants taking center stage. Sadly, this won’t be an article that gives hope for an upcoming mutant-led project.
Although Marvel Studios Preisdent Kevin Feige previously revealed that the "Mutants Era" would be the next chapter of the MCU that doesn't necessarily mean that it will be titled "The Mutants Saga". And now, a new report has cast doubt on just...

Ever since the inception of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, fans have been asking for the Mutants to make their grand entrance and share the screen with the likes of Iron Man and Captain America. Unfortunately, Disney and Marvel Studios didn't have the rights to the live-action adaptation of the beloved group of characters, and it seemed like they were never getting it back. Instead, Fox was in charge of bringing the X-Men to life on the big screen, and it was that way for many years... until 2017 came and superhero fans were treated to a rather unexpected surprise.
Disney announced its plans to acquire Twenty-First Century Fox, and in 2019, it finally became a reality. As simple as that, the Mutants weren't isolated from other superheroes anymore, and we've been slowly watching them appear in more and more MCU projects ever since.

There have been some notable actors to play Gambit in X-Men media but how do they rank?
When Gambit debuted in the comics in 1990, he stood out nicely. The Cajun thief had a sneaky side and a mysterious past, but captivated readers with his slick accent, style, and mutant power to charge objects (usually playing cards) with kinetic energy to explode. Remy Labeau was soon a mainstay of the comics.
The character rose to prominence with the 1990s X-Men animated series. Over the years, there were plans to integrate him into the X-Men movies that never came about. He finally got there with a couple of live-action appearances and many more in animation and video games.
There have been seven official actors to play Gambit in X-Men media, with each bringing their own style and abilities to the role. Here’s how they rank to show who brought this raging...

Invincible. Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. My Adventures with Superman. X-Men ‘97. Harley Quinn. Creature Commandos. What If…? We may be in a new golden age of animated superhero shows. With Marvel Animation set to expand its offerings with Marvel Zombies and Eyes of Wakanda, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is dipping into the medium for the first time.

Marvel is bringing the holiday cheer in a big way, and it’s no surprise! Alongside the daily release of new What If…? episodes, the studio has delivered a festive treat for fans of X-Men ’97: a cozy Yule Log video now streaming on Marvel Entertainment’s official YouTube channel.
The video invites viewers into the X-Mansion, where a warm fire crackles beneath a portrait of Professor X. Nearby, you’ll spot Magneto’s iconic helmet resting on a chair alongside a claw-ripped pillow—a nod to Wolverine’s temper.
Other familiar touches include Scott Summers’ ruby-quartz glasses, essential for controlling his optic blasts, and a heartfelt photo of him with Jean Grey. Beside it lies his battle visor, symbolizing the X-Men’s enduring fight for justice.

Along with new daily episodes of What If…?, the studio has also shared a special treat for fans of X-Men ‘97. A Yule Log video is now streaming on the official Marvel Entertainment YouTube channel.
The video shows a fire burning inside the X-Mansion, with a picture of Professor X above the flames. Nearby, there’s Magneto’s helmet sitting in a chair next to a pillow that looks like it’s been attacked by Wolverine’s claws.
You can also spot Scott Summers’ glasses, which help keep his optic blasts in check, as well as a photo of him with Jean Grey. His signature battle visor is placed beside it, reminding viewers of the X-Men’s ongoing fight for justice.

As we look ahead to the new year, Disney+ is gearing up to release exciting new content for its global audience. We're talking about shows such as Goosebumps: The Vanishing, Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, Ironheart, Daredevil: Born Again and Andor season 2. However, for various reasons, there are some Disney+ shows that won't be returning with additional installments in the new year.
It could be because they were billed as miniseries, meaning that they were designed to conclude after only one season, which wrapped up this year. Another reason for them not returning could be that they won't be finished with the filmmaking process in time to make a 2025 release. There are also some Disney+ shows that won't be back next year because they ended or were canceled this year. Whatever the reason for them not returning, we're definitely going to miss them!

X-Men 97 standout character Sunspot is getting some love from Diamond Select Toys, and Screen Rant has a first look at the collectible. Played in X-Men 97 by Gui Agustini, Sunspot is the superhero moniker of a young mutant named Roberto Da Costa who has the ability to absorb and channel solar power. The collectible is the latest in a line of Diamond Select Toys pieces based on X-Men: The Animated Series, though it of course jumps to the 2024 revival and continuation of that show.
Screen Rant is happy to offer a first look at Diamond Select Toys Sunspot collectible. Based on the X-Men 97 take on the character rather than the comic book Sunspot, the mini-bust shows the character fully powered, with jet-black skin and bursting with bold yellow balls of energy. Pre-orders for the bust open Friday, November 22 at Diamondselecttoys.com, and it has an Srp of $90.00. Take a look at...

There are a lot of Marvel Studios projects to look forward to in 2025. That's certainly a good thing, because as great as the offerings from the Marvel Cinematic Universe have been this year, there haven't been that many of them. We had Echo at the beginning of the year on Disney Plus, Deadpool and Wolverine released in theaters this summer, and Agatha All Along closed things out with a spookily sensational run on Disney Plus that had the world guessing the whole way throughout.
The third and final season of What If...? is set to premiere this holiday season, and separate animated series X-Men '97 enjoyed a critically-acclaimed run earlier this year. It's been a good year for Marvel, but there were also a number of titles that were supposed to release this year that didn't due to delays.

After a relatively conservative round of announcements at San Diego Comic-Con, D23, and New York Comic Con regarding upcoming Marvel Studios releases, no one anticipated that the biggest wave of announcements would come in the form of a Disney+ promo dropped just before midnight on the streaming platform.
In the 60-second spot, Marvel confirmed the release dates and windows for over half a dozen live-action and animated Marvel Studios titles set to come within the final two months of 2024 and across 2025.
The list for 2025 included highly anticipated live-action shows such as Daredevil: Born Again, Ironheart, and Wonder Man, as well as a handful of animated originals that have been long in the works.

The Mutants are coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That's right, the X-Men's arrivals are on the horizon, as the Marvel Studios franchise has been slowly laying the groundwork for their entrance into the film series throughout the Multiverse Saga, with nods and references to iconic X-Men characters, themes, and storylines along the way.
But the next phase in that plan to introduce the characters will come in the form of a movie. Yes, Marvel Studios is indeed developing an X-Men movie, with a writer already attached to the project. And with Kevin Feige already confirming that the Mutants Era is here, it's only a matter of time until we meet Marvel's Mightiest Mutants in the form of Charles Xavier's team of superheroes.

With fast-paced soap opera storytelling, snappy one-liners, and the most radical animation style on TV, "X-Men: The Animated Series" was the perfect gateway to get kids hooked on all things Marvel.
Now, over 25 years since the original series went off the air, Marvel and Disney+ have continued the saga with "X-Men '97," a series so good that it's already being hailed as one of the best new shows of the year. What makes "X-Men '97" such a triumph is not just its perfectly executed nostalgia, but because the show has evolved to relate to the sensibilities of our 2024 world, without becoming anachronistic in the process.

Recently, Marvel fans have been turning their attention to the X-Men. After the release of the popular ‘X-Men ’97,’ excitement is building for the live-action reboot that Feige teased years ago.
Over the years, the X-Men franchise has seen its fair share of live-action adaptations, with varying levels of success. Unfortunately, one of the least well-received adaptations was ‘The New Mutants’ in 2020.
‘The New Mutants’ got mixed reviews because of its uneven pacing, lack of character growth, and storyline that left some feeling disappointed or confused. While some liked its darker tone and unique take on superheroes, others thought it fell short. The movie also faced delays and reshoots, which might have hurt its reception.
Now, 4 years later, and with mutants back in the spotlight, Henrique Zaga hopes for another chance to play Sunspot. In a recent interview with CoveredGeekly, Zaga expressed his desire to return to the MCU as a significant mutant.

While some appreciated its darker tone and unique approach to the superhero genre, others felt it didn’t fully deliver on its potential.

All hell broke loose in the fifth episode of “X-Men ’97,” “Remember It.” The shocking events are so traumatic, in fact, that fired showrunner Beau DeMayo momentarily broke his silence about the show to explain why it was important to reflect that “the X-Men have now been hit hard by the realities of an adult and unsafe world.”
It was against this unpredictable backdrop that The Newton Brothers Andy Grush and Taylor Stewart composed a score (out May 24) for the reboot that both honored and transcended the spirit of “X-Men: The Animated Series.”
“We started tackling the music in a sort of multi-faceted way at first [before seeing full episodes] because we didn’t really want to pretend that we knew exactly what the show should be because there are so many aspects,” Grush told IndieWire. “So, for us, it was about trying to give proper credit to various genres and ideas, and seeing...

Episode 4 of X-Men '97, titled "Motendo/Lifedeath - Part 1," was the kind of fun that only a 1990s-inspired cartoon could bring, featuring the return of one of X-Men: The Animated Series' wackiest villains, Mojo (David Errigo Jr.). For Jubilee's (Holly Chou) 18th birthday, he pulls her and Sunspot (Gui Agustini) into a wild adventure inside a videogame, and they have to figure out how to beat the game in order to return to the real world. As trippy and quirky as Mojo is, though, he is a parody of a very real—and rather troublesome—part of the entertainment industry, making him one of the best meta-commentaries in the X-Men series.

This article contains spoilers for X-Men ‘97 episode 4.
X-Men ‘97 episode 4 “Motendo” brings back a familiar villain, Mojo (voiced by David Errigo Jr.). Per his usual M.O., Marvel’s weirdest baddie kidnaps a couple members of the X-family, transporting them to a dangerous world of entertainment where they have to fight for their lives for his amusement. This time, newcomer Sunspot (Gui Agustini) and Jubilee (Holly Chou) are the victims, and on the latter’s 18th birthday, no less.
Sunspot and Jubilee are forced inside a 16-bit video game which bears a striking resemblance to the classic X-Men game created for the Sega Genesis (which was perhaps the only other X-Men property which had a theme song that could rival the animated series), and when inside this digital nightmare, the two must fight their way out. Mojo throws everything he can at the young mutants, but along the way,...

X-Men '97 has had an impressive run on Disney+ so far, entertaining audiences as a continuation of X-Men: The Animated Series. But nothing has prepared viewers for what they will face on this week's episode, with the studio releasing a new clip that focuses on Jubilee (Holly Chou) and Sunspot (Gui Agustini). In order to escape any threat that comes their way, the members of the X-Men have trained to know how to respond against an attack from a super villain, but their lessons in school never said anything about being trapped in a virtual reality.

The beauty of “X-Men ’97” (currently streaming on Disney+) is that it’s more than just a nostalgia trip — it’s a very timely continuation of “X-Men: The Animated Series” that addresses today’s more complicated world while staying true to the spirit of the original. There’s a greater celebration of queer diversity (Morph has been redesigned as a non-binary shapeshifter) but also an accelerated powder keg of hate, which makes the mutants’ enemies much more formidable. This calls for drastic action, which is why the torch has been passed to former arch nemesis Magneto (Matthew Waterson) to lead the X-Men following the loss of Professor Xavier.
The 10-episode animated series also represents Marvel’s first “X-Men” project since regaining the rights from Fox and serves as a prelude to the franchise joining the MCU in this summer’s lone Marvel movie, “Deadpool & Wolverine.” Yet it was vital...

In the first episode of "X-Men '97," the 2024 continuation of the 30-year-old "X-Men: The Animated Series," Cyclops (Ray Chase) and several other X-Men break into a warehouse occupied by a well-armed militia of bigots, keen on murdering mutants. The bigots are armed with fist-mounted laser cannons extrapolated from Sentinel technology. As X-Men fans know, Sentinels are 30-foot purple robots programmed to capture and/or kill mutants. Cyclops, using his powerful optic blasts, rescues a mutant called Robert da Costa (Gui Agustini), but he's then captured by the bigots. They remove Cyclops' visor, likely not knowing that it's needed to keep his eyeball powers under control. Cyclops merely blasts his way out, sans visor, winning the day.
There is then a brief edit to the warehouse's exterior, where the above action occurred. A newspaper floats by the camera, highlighting a mutant fashion show. It will take sharp eyes to see it,...

If you are a millennial of a certain age, there’s a good chance Disney+’s X-Men ’97 will evoke nostalgic chills almost without trying: The theme song alone, borrowed from the original X-Men: The Animated Series, will be enough to transport some of us, Ratatouille-style, into memories of Saturday mornings bingeing cartoons over sugar cereal.
But as demonstrated by one failed remake or middling reboot after another, getting people to remember they used to like a show is one thing. Getting those people to fall in love with it again, and recruit new fans along the way, is entirely another. It is, then, a testament to the precision of X-Men ’97‘s balancing act that it actually pulls it off. The animated series is a throwback in the most ideal sense — so vintage, it comes all the way back around to feeling fresh again.

X-Men '97 continues the story of the original animated series with new mutants and old favorites battling villains while navigating personal conflicts. Produced by Marvel Studios, the revival marks the return of beloved voice actors and the introduction of iconic characters like Sunspot. The show stays true to the '90s aesthetic, with guidance from original creators, portraying emotional journeys of characters like Scott Summers and Nightcrawler.
X-Men '97 Executive Producer and Marvel Studios Head of TV, Streaming, and Animation, Brad Winderbaum teases the X-Men: The Animated Series revival. Though it's premiering nearly 30 years after the conclusion of the original, X-Men '97 picks up after the events of "Graduation Day" and explores how the close-knit team of mutants handles the change in status quo at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters in the wake of their beloved leader's death.

“What the hell’s a mutant?”
Over 30 years ago, Canadian voice actor Cal Dodd auditioned for Project X, an animated show at the now-defunct Fox Kids – a children’s programming block known in the ‘90s for Saturday morning cartoons. He was up for a character called Wolverine, and he read lines for a scene with someone named Sabretooth.
“Is this an animal cartoon?” he recalls wondering as he stood in a vocal booth in Toronto.
Meanwhile in the U.S., Alison Sealy-Smith couldn’t believe she was stooping so low for her role.
“I had no idea what this was about,” she says. “They told me it was a cartoon. I felt a little quiver because I was supposed to be this serious actress. I was out in Connecticut doing Shakespeare at the time. I had no idea what I was getting myself into.”

Earlier this month, Beau DeMayo was in the midst of a particularly busy time at Marvel Studios. The writer-producer was preparing for the launch of X-Men ’97, the Disney+ series he created as a continuation of the beloved ‘90s Fox Kids show.
DeMayo, a Marvel regular who previously wrote on live-action series Moon Knight as well as early drafts of the company’s delayed-but-still-upcoming vampire thriller Blade, had completed writing duties on season two of X-Men ’97, was lining up press, and making plans to attend the show’s Hollywood premiere on March 13. He was even discussing loose ideas for a third season with members of his team.
But early last week, Marvel and DeMayo suddenly parted ways. His company email was deactivated and cast and crew were informed he was no longer on the project. DeMayo’s Instagram account, once a source for X-Men updates, was deleted. No reason for the firing was given.

The wait for X-Men '97 may be ending sooner than previously thought.
In development for years, X-Men '97 serves as a continuation of X-Men: The Animated Series, picking up right where the original left off. Several of the same cast members have returned with the classic art style carrying over for the new show to make the revival seem as seamless as possible. The biggest issue that fans have faced has been the wait, and there were previously reports that the show wouldn't be arriving until later in the spring, somewhere around April or May 2024. Per The Direct, it was more recently confirmed during The Walt Disney Corporation's earnings presentation on Wednesday that the series is set to debut on Disney+ in "early 2024," which could suggest the new show's arrival is coming earlier than expected.

At San Diego Comic-Con 2023, several significant teasers and updates about the series were unveiled, generating excitement among fans.
A standout moment at Comic-Con was Marvel surprising fans with fresh footage from the next season at the "Designing the X-Men" discussion.
