Overnight the cast and crew of X-Men ’97 were at the Tribeca Festival to premiere the first episode of season 2 infant of a packed crowd of fans. Whilst we have to wait until July 1, 2026 for new episodes to debut on Disney+ we do have a new look at season 2 courtesy of a brand new trailer.
The trailer recaps all of the major players who will be part of season 2, all of our favourites are there including Professor X, Jean Grey, Cyclops, Storm and Wolverine. They’re joined by Forge and Bishop who were major parts of season 1 plus newcomers Archangel, Psylocke, Siryn, Strong Guy, Havok, Multiple Man, Wolfsbane, Emma Frost, Polaris and, of course, this season’s returning villain Apocalypse. It’s a huge roster of characters for what’s looking likely to be the biggest ever season of X-Men yet.
Watch the brand new trailer in the player below:
The 9-episode second season continues the story with the heroic mutant team of X-Men, divided and thrown across different eras in time as they struggle to navigate their return home. Meanwhile, back in the 1990s, suspicious foes and new strains of mutant intolerance are on the rise in the wake of the X-Men’s absence.
