X-Men ’97 is coming at us faster than a swipe from Wolverine’s claws! With the release date coming up later this month, Disney+ is starting to release details about when the episodes in this 10-episode continuation of the hit ’90s animated show will drop. And they’ve released some very good news.
Last week, Disney+ and Disney+ Canada both announced some of the new titles coming to the streaming platform in March. Although Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour dominates the announcement (I mean, I’m pumped for it), there’s also a major announcement about X-Men ’97 slipped into the second slide in the post.
The post announces that X-Men ’97 season 1 will have a two-episode premiere on Wednesday, March 20. Two episodes are dropping at the same time! X-Men fans are winning!
Meanwhile, the U.S. Disney+ account announced that along with the season premiere, “new episodes” will drop the following week, on March 27.
A few days later, Marvel posted to X (formerly Twitter) the full episode schedule, complete with titles! The full release schedule for X-Men ’97 will consist of two episodes on March 20, followed by one episode every Wednesday until May 15. Here are all the release dates and titles:
- March 20: “To Me, My X-Men” and “Mutant Liberation Begins”
- March 27: “Fire Made Flesh”
- April 3: “Motendo / Lifedeath Pt. 1”
- April 10: “Remember It”
- April 17: “Lifedeath Pt. 2”
- April 24: “Bright Eyes”
- May 1: “Tolerance is Extinction Pt. 1”
- May 8: “Tolerance is Extinction Pt. 2”
- May 15: “Tolerance is Extinction Pt. 3”
It looks like the stakes are going to be high for our beloved mutants! The X-Men in Marvel’s comics, movies, and animated series have always dealt with issues of oppression, bigotry, and even genocide, so seeing episode titles like “Tolerance is Extinction” point to some pretty weighty story arcs coming up. X-Men fans will finally get to see it for themselves on March 20.
