From The Marvels to Blade, it seems like just about X-Men ’97.

A unique entry in Marvel’s canon, X-Men ’97 is a direct follow-up to the legendary X-Men: The Animated Series, picking up where the original show’s storylines left off and bringing back much of the voice cast. And yet, as folks on the r/MarvelStudios subreddit have pointed out, the series has still been stuck in development for twice as long as the old Fox Kids show did. As X-Men: TAS was conceived in 1991 and on screens by 1992, while ’97 was announced in 2021 and still yet to arrive, that is indeed accurate. But the delay actually goes even further than that.

Original producer/director Larry Houston confirmed he was in talks with Disney Plus to relaunch The Animated Series as creative clashes between execs and showrunners/filmmakers — in a nutshell.

Luckily, X-Men ’97 is a controversial casting decision earlier this year — is certainly not what should’ve been an easy win for Marvel deserved.
