Episodes Runtime Reportedly Revealed For ‘X-Men ’97’

Marvel Studios has quite a few projects scheduled to be released in 2024. Despite releasing only a single live-action movie, in terms of animated content we can look forward to a lot of things. One of the first projects to be released however is ‘X-Men ’97,’ a show scheduled to be released on March 20, 2024.

This marks Marvel Studios’ first foray into X-Men since reclaiming the rights from 20th Century Fox, which DeMayo acknowledges adds pressure due to the franchise’s devoted fanbase. Fast-tracking the revival is attributed to the original series’ success on Disney+ and the popularity of the art book ‘X-Men: The Art and Making of The Animated Series.’ While not part of the MCU, ‘X-Men ’97’ continues the original series’ storylines, with potential clarification regarding its relationship to the MCU. Introduced as part of the ‘Marvel Animated Multiverse’ during San Diego Comic-Con 2022, it was announced that work on the second season had already started by July 2022, underscoring the project’s anticipation and commitment to fans.

We know that ‘X-Men ’97’ will have 10 episodes in total, the episodes will be released weekly and we can look forward to a 3-episode finale in May. Now according to notable leaker and scooper Cryptic4KQual the runtime of the first three episodes has been released and fans can look forward to 30 minutes of content (with the credits) each week.
