Meanwhile, we have a Summer, 2026 release window revealed for X-Men 97′ Season 2. With confirmation that the animated series has been renewed for Season 3.
Footage was shown to audiences alongside some artwork. Additionally, we have some comments from Marvel’s TV boss Brad Winderbaum via Collider around what to expect in Season 2.
“Well, Rogue and Magneto are stuck in the past together. They’re kind of our past team, and Scott and Jean are in the future, along with Storm and Forge. There’s a lot of romance to go around. But these poor characters — they never get a break. But that’s why we love them. The soap opera and the family dynamics are very, very strong, exactly, and kind of keeping in line with the X-Men.”
That’s it for Part 1 of our Marvel NYCC roundup folks. Let us know below what you think of the news around Wonder Man in its trailer, or the X-Men 97′ news? Part 2 will feature Vision Quest news, plus Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 and Season 3 news.
