While Marvel has publically stated that it will be slowing down its live-action release schedule, the studio is getting set to dive head-first into animation.
With Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Black Panther: Eyes of Wakanda, Marvel Zombies, and What If…? season 3 all on the horizon, this is perhaps the best time to be a Marvel animation fan since the 1990s.

Speaking of the 90s, this year will see the return of the greatest Marvel animated series of all time, when X-Men ’97 debuts.
A Continuation of X-Men: The Animated Series
The upcoming series is a continuation of the iconic X-Men: The Animated Series that ran from 1992 to 1997. Picking up where the original series left off, X-Men ’97 will find the iconic mutant team without their leader, Charles Xavier.
In his place, Storm, Cyclops, and Magneto must pick up the pieces and lead the X-Men forward.
X-Men ’97 will also see the return of original X-Men: The Animated Series cast members Cal Dodd, Lenore Zann, George Buza, Alison Sealy-Smith, Chris Potter, Catherine Disher, Adrian Hough, Alyson Court, and Christopher Britton.

“This is the first X-Men title produced by Marvel Studios,” Brad Winderbaum, Marvel Studios’ Head of Streaming, Television, and Animation, said. “What an amazing first step to reintroduce audiences to the X-Men with a look at one of the most pinnacle eras of the X-Men comics, which was the ’90s.”
