Marvel Television brought several trailers to its New York Comic Con panel yesterday, though the only one that's been officially released is Wonder Man's intriguing effort.

Security was reportedly tight during the panel, meaning the odds of recordings finding their way online are low. However, the X-Men '97 Season 2 trailer was shown for a second time during a separate Q&A, and we have a bootleg copy of that for you below.

In this sneak peek, we learn what became of the X-Men after the Season 1 finale, where the mutant team was scattered throughout time. Wolverine and Morph appear to have formed an alliance with Sabretooth and Lady Deathstrike in the present, while we also get to see Polaris, Danger, and X-Factor.

Apocalypse also gets plenty of the spotlight, no great surprise when he's set to be X-Men '97 Season 2's primary antagonist. Cyclops and Jean Grey, meanwhile, are shown in costumes that closely resemble their 2000s outfits from Grant Morrison's New X-Men.

What's going to be really interesting with this second season is the fact that Beau DeMayo is no longer serving as Head Writer/showrunner. However, many of his ideas have reportedly made it into Season 2, and it won't be until Season 3 that we fully learn whether Matthew Chauncey can take this series to the same heights.

"We've talked about this before. I'm grateful to Beau," Marvel Television boss Brad Winderbaum told Entertainment Weekly this week. "We launched this series together. I think he did excellent work. Frankly, I don't really look at it or read any of it, so I don't really know."

Asked about the possibility that Gambit will become one of Apocalypse's Horsemen, Death, he said, "That tease certainly matters and Apocalypse is a big part of season 2."

X-Men '97 features the voices of Ray Chase, Jennifer Hale, Alison Sealy-Smith, Cal Dodd, J. P. Karliak, Lenore Zann, George Buza, A. J. LoCascio, Holly Chou, Isaac Robinson-Smith, Matthew Waterson, Ross Marquand, and Adrian Hough. Neve Campbell is expected to lend her voice to Polaris.

Oh…

One more thing.

While I wasn’t able to leak it out from the panel on @Marvel Television and @Marvel Animation earlier today, I was able to do it at the panel that just went on 2 hours ago w/ Brad Winderbaum and Zeb Wells.

So, here is the trailer for @MarvelStudios… pic.twitter.com/BZjdyRl9QO

Can't wait!!! (Pls don't suck 🙏)

Ryan - 10/12/2025, 7:02 AM

@Polaris - X-Factor!

Polaris - 10/12/2025, 9:45 AM

@Ryan -

DarkeyeZ - 10/12/2025, 10:39 AM

@Polaris - But they were in the original series. Introduced in the episode that focused on Iceman. speaking of Iceman, where is Iceman?

Ryan - 10/12/2025, 10:56 AM

@DarkeyeZ - We know they were in season 1. We are just hoping for some character development. Polaris and Havok always get it dirty in the comics. Possessions and mind wipes are common for those 2.

dancingmonkey08 - 10/12/2025, 5:54 AM

oh that theme tune awakens all the best feelings in me...I know about the behind the scenes troubles, but Im still excited for this season, and the grand return of what seems to be EVERYONE in this season...particularly Apocalypse and his newest horseman...

CrimsonComet40 - 10/12/2025, 6:39 AM

Something feels off, that last line was a little too MCU for me

epc1122 - 10/12/2025, 7:43 AM

@CrimsonComet40 - I was pretty psyched for this trailer and that last line I thought was ok but at the same time I don’t recall any lines like that from the first season. My hope is that the new writers don’t deviate too much from the first season because I really enjoyed the first season.

kseven - 10/12/2025, 7:40 AM

Excellent.

I'm there for it!!

Sicario - 10/12/2025, 7:59 AM

Could be good, could be better, but beau knew how to synergize plot and the emotional beats of the story.

HashTagSwagg - 10/12/2025, 8:00 AM

So they skipped the trumatised feral Wolverine with the bone claws and reverted right back to the status quo, that sucks.

ChrisEl - 10/12/2025, 8:44 AM

@HashTagSwagg - nah. That was a terrible era in comics.

HashTagSwagg - 10/12/2025, 9:01 AM

@ChrisEl - Interesting concepts can be done well when handled by competent people.

DarkeyeZ - 10/12/2025, 10:42 AM

@HashTagSwagg - How do you know that they skipped this? zero episodes have aired yet. You on some next level hating lol, you don't even wait for things to get released to hate on them and judge them. Must be miserable to be like that. I feel sorry for ya bro

JFerguson - 10/12/2025, 10:54 AM

@HashTagSwagg - are those not bone claws in the trailer? They seem kind of jagged edged, or is it just bad recording?

Pauul - 10/12/2025, 12:18 PM

@HashTagSwagg - Either that, or that isn't really Wolverine. He was replaced by a shapeshifting Skrull in the comics, and then killed, only for the real Wolverine to be revealed as Apocalypse's Horseman - Death. Apocalypse was the one who restored Wolverine's adamantium (at the time, Sabretooth had an adamantium skeleton, and Apocalypse stripped it from Sabretooth and gave it to Wolverine).

I could maybe see them making Wolverine into War instead, if they're going to have Gambit as Death (Gambit was Death in the comics too, just in a later iteration of the Horsemen).

ChrisEl - 10/12/2025, 8:43 AM

Marvel is making a big mistake by switching to costumes to an era when comics were in decline. The new new suits for Scott and Jean just suck.

epc1122 - 10/12/2025, 9:13 AM

@ChrisEl - i could be wrong but isn’t grant Morrisons X-men highly regarded?

DarkeyeZ - 10/12/2025, 10:44 AM

@epc1122 - depends who you ask. This is the internet. you can find a group for ANYTHING that will say it sucks.

epc1122 - 10/12/2025, 10:57 AM

@DarkeyeZ - while that’s true, in general I think grant Morrisons run on new x-men is highly regarded. I didn’t say everyone enjoyed it and I’m sure there are people who didn’t like this version or costumes. Comics in general during this time were in decline (certainly debatable) during the new x-men run by grant Morrison but I think is in large part it was well respected and liked by many. Im just not a fan when people make comments that make it sound like they speak for everyone.

MisterBones - 10/12/2025, 8:48 AM

Morlocks!!

vectorsigma - 10/12/2025, 8:49 AM

Ive heard de mayo was involved in this in some capacity so this should still be good.

Oberlin4Prez - 10/12/2025, 9:55 AM

@vectorsigma - my understanding is most of season 2 was when before he left.

vectorsigma - 10/12/2025, 10:15 AM

@Oberlin4Prez - sounds good then! 👌

harryba11zack - 10/12/2025, 9:28 AM

was hoping for bone claws :(

frottage - 10/12/2025, 9:30 AM

Looks good apart from the poor grammar in the trailer text :-)

TheVisionary25 - 10/12/2025, 10:17 AM

Cool , it looks epic & fun imo!!.

So sweet to see the likes of X Factor & such in the show aswell as my boy Kurt getting another amazing action sequence seemingly.

Anyway , looking forward to this since S1 was solid!!.

gambgel - 10/12/2025, 12:11 PM

Psylocke, Archangel and Colossus confirmed.

This and the complex three time periods can lead to a really great and rich season. Fingers crossed the quality is at least 70% of the first one!

RaisedFisT - 10/12/2025, 1:00 PM

was that Jean with claws?
