X‑Men '97 Season 2 Gets Trailer and July 1 Disney+ Premiere

Marvel’s trailer frames a time‑spanning battle with Apocalypse that previews comic‑faithful cast expansions and a Tribeca screening that signals a faster multi‑season rollout.

Overview

  • Marvel released the official Season 2 trailer on Wednesday, May 27, showing the X‑Men scattered across past, present and future and naming Apocalypse as the season’s central antagonist.
  • Disney+ will stream nine episodes starting Wednesday, July 1, 2026, with a 60‑minute world‑premiere presentation scheduled at the Tribeca Festival on June 13.
  • The trailer and key art tease many comic‑accurate additions and cameos — including X‑Factor, X‑Force members, Colossus, Danger, Brood, Rama‑Tut and updated Morrison/Quitely‑inspired costumes.
  • Production details confirmed Matthew Chauncey as the show’s lead writer moving forward and producers said work is already under way on later seasons with a plan to shorten gaps between releases.
  • The season picks up directly from Season 1’s cliffhanger that scattered the team through time, and follows its Emmy‑nominated predecessor’s critical success as Marvel uses the revival to expand its animated mutant mythology.
