Marvel’s Head of Animation Says ‘X-Men ’97’ Season 2 “Hits the Heights” of the First Season

When Marvel Studios set out to revive the 1990s classic X-Men: The Animated Series for X-Men ’97, few could have imagined what a success the show would be.

Led by showrunner Beau DeMayo, the X-Men ’97 team created a show that not only appealed to fans of the original series but also brought in legions of new fans through the strength of its storytelling.

“We got big plans for the second season. I’ve already seen all the animatics, we’re well on our way to creating something that hits the heights of the first season. I know the first season is an emotional ride — that ride continues in very X-Men fashion in the second season,” he said.
