Overview
- Episode 4, which was released Wednesday, advances the season’s time‑spanning arc by returning the stranded X‑Men to ancient Egypt and concentrating the plot on En Sabah Nur’s transformation into a cosmic threat.
- The episode depicts En Sabah Nur accessing Celestial technology aboard a buried Ship, and some outlets report the sequence implies a connection to the MCU’s Power Stone although that interpretation is reported rather than confirmed.
- Coverage notes the episode ends with a post‑credits scene that teases a Weapon X dossier for Wolverine, setting up a follow‑up episode focused on his origins and possible return to that program.
- Critics praised the episode’s animation and tightened plotting while commentators flagged that major on‑screen losses may not be permanent because X‑Men continuity routinely uses resurrections, timeline changes, or Apocalypse’s recruitment of fallen mutants.
- Season 2 continues as a nine‑episode weekly run on Disney+ and the creative team has signaled accelerated multi‑season plans, with this episode reshaping character stakes and potential cross‑franchise links that viewers should watch for in coming weeks.
