As well as Marvel’s big return to Hall H this weekend at San Diego Comic-Con 2026, the studio has kicked off celebrations a little early at the Marvel Comics to Screen panel, where it has been announced that X-Men ’97 season 3 is officially complete.
During the panel, Marvel TV head Brad Winderbaum said X-Men ’97 season 3 is finished and ready to hit Disney Plus in 2027. Better yet, the SDCC audience got to see the first clip from the animated show’s junior season, which showed Magneto’s the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants fighting the mutant robots known as the Sentinels.
Beyond that, the panel confirmed that X-Men ’97 season 4 is officially in production at Marvel Animation, with 4 scripts already being worked on. This is good news indeed, as fans were not too happy with having to wait two years between seasons 1 and 2. However, earlier this year, Producer Larry Houston told The Direct that the delay was a “one-off” and “won’t happen again” with seasons 3 and 4.
