The X-Men are back — just not in live action. Marvel's new “X-Men ’97” will be a continuation of the beloved 90s animated series that ran from 1992 through 1997.
After Disney purchased 20th Century Fox in 2019, and the “X-Men” movie franchise was on its last legs with the poorly received “Dark Phoenix” and “The New Mutants,” many observers expected Marvel Studios to reboot the X-Men and reintegrate the characters back into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Beau DeMayo, who wrote Netflix’s animated “The Witcher” spin-off “Nightmare of the Wolf,” will serve as head writer on “X-Men ’97.” Jeff Trammel, writer and actor on the Cartoon Network series “Craig of the Creek,” is the head writer. It’s unclear if “Marvel Zombies” will be a spin-off of the “What If…?” zombie episode or chart its own course, but “What If…?” director Bryan Andrews is also set to direct the new series.
