This news comes alongside news that Deadpool & Wolverine is the most watched movie trailer of all time, and solid proof that Marvel Studios is still very much in the game. Amid fan backlash and conservative âanti-wokeâ agenda, The X-Men remain one of Marvelâs most beloved set of characters and remain to this day the number one best-selling comic book of all time with X-Men #1 by Chris Claremont and Jim Lee.
Showrunner Beau DeMayo has confirmed in interviews that the series will directly continue after the finale of X-Men: The Animated Series, and he has already dropped major hints about Mister Sinister being a main villain, plus Cable will have a huge arch in the series. This news paired with toy reveals of the Goblin Queen is sure to spell a Summers Family soap opera, which we know fans always eat up.

X-Men â97 premieres on March 20th, only on Disney+.
