Summary
- X-Men '97, the highly anticipated Marvel Studios series, may premiere on Disney Plus on March 20th, 2024, according to a reliable scooper.
- The series is generating a lot of interest with promo photos and leaks surfacing, and it has a built-in fanbase eagerly awaiting its return.
- The release date and details have yet to be confirmed by Marvel Studios and Disney.
The X-Men '97 release date window was allegedly revealed in previous reports, but the latest scoop may divulge the exact day the Marvel Studios series will premiere on Disney Plus.
X-Men '97 was the first project announced by Marvel Studios after the company regained the screen rights to the mutants following Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox. As a continuation of X-Men: The Animated Series, which was canceled in 1997, the project has elicited great anticipation among long-time Marvel fans and newcomers, with the yet-to-be-announced release date arguably being the number one concern for most.

A previous X-Men '97 release date rumor claimed the series would premiere on Disney Plus in mid-to-late March 2024. However, precise details were not provided, and Marvel Studios hasn't confirmed or denied these claims. Now, reliable scooper @Cryptic4KQual has informed fans that they heard the exact X-Men '97 release date could be March 20th, 2024. The scooper also noted that the first X-Men '97 trailer is being prepared, but a release date for the preview was unknown to them. It must be noted that Marvel Studios and Disney have not confirmed these claims.
With promo photos and leaks surfacing in recent weeks, including a first-look preview at an X-Men '97 16-bit episode, interest in the series is at an all-time high. While it's currently unclear if X-Men '97 is a part of the main MCU or if it will be just one corner of the growing multiverse, the series has a built-in fanbase that will undoubtedly tune in when the animated series returns. This potential audience could breathe life back into the flailing MCU, which has seen fan interest decline, as proven by The Marvels bombing at the box office and the Disney Plus series Secret Invasion being pummeled by viewers.
Still, newer fans may be more interested in seeing how the X-Men will be introduced to the MCU proper. Ms. Marvel provided the first hint by revealing Kamala Khan is a mutant, and The Marvels followed with a post-credits scene featuring Kelsey Grammer's Beast. However, significant updates on the X-Men's first live-action standalone MCU project remain elusive. X-Men characters are rumored to play a role alongside Hugh Jackman's Wolverine in Deadpool 3. However, these characters will allegedly be from Fox's movies, which pre-date the Marvel Cinematic Universe and may not be who Marvel Studios wants to include once mutants are properly integrated into the MCU.
While the X-Men MCU movie is moving forward, it may be a while before Marvel Studios' plans for the characters to make it to the silver screen. This could be because Kevin Feige wants to use the Multiverse saga to give the Fox version of the X-Men characters a proper sendoff before rebooting the MCU after Avengers: Secret Wars. In doing so, Marvel Studios can have a clean slate to work with for its incarnation of the mutants without being beholden to previous on-screen depictions. With Deadpool 3 releasing this year, fans will hopefully get a better sense of what the future holds soon.
X-Men '97 is expected to be released on Disney Plus in 2024.
