X-Men ’97 Season 2 will debut on Disney+ on July 1, 2026, bringing the beloved animated franchise back to screens just weeks before the theatrical release of Spider‑Man 4.
The nine‑episode second season follows the time‑displaced X‑Men as they hunt a way back to the 1990s while confronting the ancient mutant Apocalypse. The official trailer, released May 27, gives fans a first look at the villain’s central role and introduces a young Nathan Summers, played by Michael Johnston.
Launching the series ahead of a major Marvel film highlights Disney+’s strategy to keep the Marvel Universe fresh across platforms, giving viewers a continuous stream of content while the big‑screen slate builds momentum.
