Season 2 of X-Men '97 crossed a major production milestone, bringing new episodes one step closer to a Disney+ release.

This update comes courtesy of Ross Marquand, the voice of Professor X, and offers fans an idea of when the next season of the animated series will likely premiere.

According to Ross Marquand (via @GrahamMosimann), he's wrapped recording for X-Men '97 Season 2 and warned audiences that the new season will be darker than the first.

An MCU veteran, after appearing in Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, the Red Skull star voiced Ultron in What If...? Season 1 and Ultron drones in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

For reference, Marquand isn't the first X-Men '97 actor to announce they've completed their Season 2 roles. In May 2024, Lenore Zann, the voice of Rogue, confirmed (via Den of Geek) that she also finished recording for the upcoming second season. 

When Will X-Men '97 Season 2 Be Released on Disney+?

The original X-Men: The Animated Series showrunners, Eric and Julia Lewald, shared that voice recording for Season 1 of the MCU reboot occurred around or shortly before November 2021. 

It is unknown when the recording wrapped. However, in an X-Men '97 Season 2 announcement video, Cal Dodd, the voice of Wolverine, shared that recording for Season 2 began in February 2023. 

Therefore, since recording for Season 1 likely ended shortly before that and the first season debuted a year after Season 2 began recording in March, Season 2 of X-Men '97 could premiere a year from now. 

If true, new episodes of the hit animated series could drop as early as Summer/Fall 2025. X-Men fans should expect to learn more about Season 2 and its release schedule in the coming year. 


Season 1 of X-Men '97 is streaming on Disney+.
