X-Men ’97 finally has a trailer and a March premiere

I think I’m a mutant. My mutant gift? Get excited by X-Men ’97.

I know it’s not the most unique skill set, but look: I’m a millennial and I can only go so far. Play the opening notes of that theme song and my brain will effectively rewire. If you’re reading this, you probably know what that’s like, which is why the first trailer for X-Men ’97 It will probably impact you better than a good cup of coffee.

The trailer is based on a very thick nostalgia, with images of “Graduation Day”, the finale of the series of X-Men: The Animated Series, playing on a CRT TV before gradually zooming in and cutting to the new widescreen version of what is possibly the most ’90s-inspired cartoon ever made. And you know what? He whips.

Short and sweet, the footage is light on plot and heavy on vibes, but some fun details are teased. Cyclops leads the X-Men after Xavier passes away, Jean Gray appears to be pregnant, and Magneto inherits everything Professor X left behind? Juicy!

The answers will come surprisingly soon. X-Men ’97 will premiere on Disney Plus on March 20, about a month from now. I’ll be staring at my phone longingly while fully clothed in bed until then.

Know, like in the meme.
