We’ve got less than a month before X-Men ’97 returns with season two, and you know what that means: trailer time.
Fittingly dubbed “Roll Call,” the trailer gives us a tiny glimpse of our time-displaced veterans. From ancient Egypt to the present day and far future, they’re all looking good in action and their new outfits. (Nightcrawler swordfighting Exodus and Storm harnessing the sun? Beautiful, love to see it.) But the most interesting part of the trailer is when it highlights the season’s fresh new faces that’ll be helping the team in the fight against Apocalypse. Fan-favorite mutants Strong Guy, Psylocke, Wolfsbane, Archangel, Siryn, Havok, Multiple Man, Polaris, are present and accounted for, as is the White Queen herself, Emma Frost.
That these new characters are here is significant—save for Emma, everyone else were cameos in the first season of X-Men ’97 thanks to Morph becoming them during fights. (Speaking of, they’ve got Silver Samurai in their shapeshifting stable this season!) Some of these newbies are also part of the current tie-in comic setting up the new characters and stories, so go ahead and give it a read.
Otherwise, season two of X-Men ’97 hits Disney+ on July 1.
