Marvel Animation releases the first trailer for “X-Men ’97” Season 2 and sets a Disney+ premiere date for July. Multiple outlets report the series returns on July 1, a little over two years after the Season 1 finale. The trailer continues from the events of the prior season, which some coverage describes as harrowing. It introduces Apocalypse as a central villain for the new season and shows him triggering widespread chaos. Several sources also highlight that the trailer emphasizes time travel, indicating characters are scattered across different points in time as the story progresses. The coverage notes that key plot elements from the Season 1 ending carry forward into Season 2, though specific details vary in emphasis across outlets. Overall, the released footage positions Season 2 around Apocalypse’s threat and a time-travel-driven disruption of the X-Men’s situation, setting up a direct continuation from where Season 1 left off. The trailer is presented as the first substantial preview of the season’s direction ahead of its July debut on Disney+.
