Marvel Studios' upcoming X-Men '97 series is eagerly anticipated, and the latest rumor suggests that it will delve into significant storylines from the X-Men universe, generating excitement among fans.
X-Men '97 is bringing back the favorite characters from Marvel Comics in a revival of the beloved X-Men: The Animated Series, which originally aired for five seasons from 1992 to 1997. The animated series turned out to be very successful and Marvel will be hoping to receive a similar kind of response for the upcoming project as well. Although very few details have been shared about the series, rumored episode titles indicate that the show will touch upon some really important storylines and characters.
Industry insider CanWeGetSomeToast revealed the rumored episode titles of the upcoming X-Men on Twitter and sent fans into a frenzy. While the titles may not reveal everything, some of them certainly drop hints about what the episodes could be about. As per the tweet, the supposed first season of the animated with feature 10 episodes. The rumored titles are:
Episode 1: To Me, My X-Men
Episode 2: Mutant Liberation Begins
Episode 3: Fire Made Flesh
Episode 4: Motendo
Episode 5: Remember It
Episode 6: Bright Eyes
Episode 7: Shine with Strength Reborn
Episode 8: Tolerance is Existence - Part 1
Episode 9: Tolerance is Existence - Part 2
Episode 10: Tolerance is Existence - Part 3
As soon as the list surfaced online, fans could not help but notice the title ‘Fire Made Flesh,’ which might be a reference to the iconic X-Men character, Phoenix. In Season 3 of the classic animated series, Jean Grey, who was reborn as Phoenix, said, “The mortal Jean Grey is no more. I am fire-made flesh, power incarnate. I am… the Dark Phoenix.” The aforementioned character was featured in the 2019 film, Dark Phoenix, which starred Sophie Turner in the titular role. The movie was panned by the critics as well as audiences and made $252.4 million on a production budget of $200 million. It would be interesting to see if Marvel gets the Phoenix saga right this time around.
Marvel seems to be really confident about the series and that’s why the production giant has already renewed the show for a second season. A few weeks ago, Lenore Zann, the voice of Rogue in X-Men: The Animated Series, shared that she's back in the recording studio for Season 2 of X-Men '97. Even though there is no official update about the series, one thing is clear that this series won’t be a part of the official time of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel Studios seems really confident in X-Men '97, and it's thrilling to anticipate what the story holds in both seasons as it expands on the original series. The big question is whether X-Men '97, now under Marvel Studios, will introduce characters from the wider Marvel universe.
