We’re less than 10 days out from seeing what Disney+ animated series “X-Men ’97” has in store. Taking its cues from the ending of the still-awesome “X-Men: The Animated Series,” Professor X has left Earth to travel the galaxy with Shi’Ar Empress Lilandra, searching for a cure for his terminal illness.
In “X-Men ’97,” Storm and Wolverine try to continue the X-Men. Magneto comes in and wants to step up for Charles Xavier. Mr. Sinister comes in to try to end the X-Men once and for all.
