X‑Men ’97 Season 2 Arrives July 1, 2026 With New Trailer and Official X‑Factor Art

The promotional rollout expands the mutant roster and includes a Weapon Plus easter egg that could tie the series to a wider animated Marvel slate, signaling an accelerated multi‑season strategy.

Overview

  • Disney+ will release X‑Men ’97 Season 2 on July 1, 2026, and Marvel has published an official trailer to promote the nine‑episode season.
  • The season continues directly from Season 1’s cliffhanger with the X‑Men scattered through time as they attempt to regroup and face multiple versions of Apocalypse.
  • Marvel’s recently released promotional art confirms the government team X‑Factor as Havok, Polaris, Strong Guy, Wolfsbane, Multiple Man, and Val Cooper.
  • A Comic Con Revolution attendee trailer briefly showed a Weapon Plus list that names Bucky Barnes, a Winter Soldier nod that reporters say is an intentional easter egg but not a confirmed crossover.
  • Production notes show a creative shift since Season 1, with Matthew Chauncey taking lead writing duties after Beau DeMayo’s 2024 departure, and Marvel planning faster season rollouts with Season 3 already greenlit and Season 4 in development.
