Having an animation style that is just perfect alongside some serious voice acting,X-Men ’97will be one of the greatest series created by Marvel Studios.

Really though, Cyclops was my favorite member of the X-Men growing up and to see him constantly pushed to the side in adaptations starting with X-Men 2 always bothered me. Great to see him at the front of the line again.#XMen97pic.twitter.com/rBwuQqCuCk

Cyclops was portrayed by three different actors during the live-action films and none of them seemed to be as memorable as Wolverine or Magneto. Despite being the team leader, Cyclops was often side-lined throughout the movies and was a romantic rival of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine for Jean Grey. The animated Cyclops, on the other hand, seems to be a force to be reckoned with and has powers given to him straight from the comic books!

“A very, very, very, very favorite character of mine and many others, Mr. Sinister, will rear his ugly head from the past with a pretty foolproof plan to destroy the X-Men once and for all.”
With the trailer creating thrills and adrenaline for everyX-Menfan on Earth, the series will indeed be beautiful to witness.X-Men ’97is slated for a release date of 01 June 2025 and will be available to stream on Disney+ around the world.
