X-Men ’97 Season 2 has officially received a new character-focused “Roll Call” trailer from Marvel Animation.
Specifically, this brief trailer officially confirms that the new season will premiere on July 1, 2026, on Disney+.
The sixty-eight-second clip showcases the returning mutant veterans, including fan-favorite Wolverine.
Additionally, the trailer introduces a massive host of fresh faces joining the fight.
Time Travel and the Apocalypse Threat
Meanwhile, the core storyline scatters our favorite heroes across different eras in time following the dramatic Season 1 finale.
Some mutants end up in Ancient Egypt during the rise of Apocalypse, while others navigate the far future.
Consequently, the team must find a way to reunite to combat Apocalypse, who serves as the primary antagonist.
Additionally, the new trailer highlights several fan-favorite mutants who only made brief cameo appearances in the first season.
These new additions include Strong Guy, Psylocke, Wolfsbane, Siryn, Havok, Multiple Man, Polaris, and Emma Frost.
Furthermore, viewers get a glimpse of Morph’s shapeshifting abilities as they transform into Silver Samurai during battle.
These new characters also play key roles in the current Marvel tie-in comic book series.
Therefore, fans can read those issues to gain deeper context before the new episodes drop.
Matthew Chauncey and Season 2 Production
Previously, Season 1 ended with the dramatic destruction of Genosha, which left the mutant population in absolute shock.
As a result, Season 2 will focus heavily on emotional recovery and building new alliances.
Specifically, Matthew Chauncey takes over as the main showrunner for this upcoming nine-episode season.
Chauncey previously wrote episodes for Marvel’s What If…? series, bringing extensive animation experience to the project.
Together, the writers and animators deliver a visually stunning continuation of the classic 1990s animated series.
Finally, Disney+ will launch the first episode of X-Men ’97 Season 2 on July 1, 2026.
