With Season 2’s three-episode premiere now available to stream, Marvel Studios has treated fans to four gorgeous new posters for X-Men ’97.
They may be scattered across time, but the X-Men are back! Just hours after the long-awaited three-episode second season premiere, Marvel Studios has shared four glorious new and retro posters for X-Men ’97 Season 2. With the X-Men split across multiple timelines, each team is fighting to find its way home — but the journey back to the ’90s is anything but straightforward.
In the future, Cyclops, Wolverine, Jean Grey, and their allies are battling to protect Cable’s resistance. Meanwhile, in the distant past, Professor X, Magneto, Rogue, and Beast are working to prevent Apocalypse’s rise to power. In the present day, Cable and his newly formed X-Force are engaged in a desperate struggle to stop Apocalypse’s plans before they can reshape history. It has made for scintillating viewing, and now, Marvel’s newly released posters perfectly capture the action and stakes unfolding across all three timelines. Take a look at the posters below.

REVIEWS
We had a blast with the second season. Our reviewer, Thomas Storai, said: “X-Men ’97 makes a strong return. The first four episodes of Season 2 are action-packed and fast-paced. Divided across three different eras in time, the story keeps the stakes high and will keep you entertained from start to finish with some major surprises. You never really know where it’s going.” Read his full review here.
RELEASE
These posters are glorious. With the season now underway, they serve as a reminder of just how ambitious X-Men ’97’s time-travel saga has become. Whether fans are following the battles in the past, present, or future, the series continues to deliver the action, drama, and nostalgia that made its first season such a hit. As the story unfolds and the fractured teams inch closer to reuniting, viewers can expect even more surprises from Marvel’s acclaimed animated revival, and we are here for it 100%.
Whether or not the series can outshine the brilliance of the first season remains to be seen. But with Wolverine popping his bone claws and Cable unleashing his own brand of brutal justice, X-Men ’97 S2 is off to a flying start.
X-Men ’97 Season 2 continues on Wednesday, 8th of July on Disney+.
