The Big Picture X-Men '97 has had an impressive run on Disney+ so far, entertaining audiences as a continuation of X-Men: The Animated Series. But nothing has prepared viewers for what they will face on this week's episode, with the studio releasing a new clip that focuses on Jubilee and Sunspot .
The clip introduces a concept from tomorrow's episode, with both Jubilee and Sunspot trapped in what appears to be an old video game. While the heroes are busy fighting against the antagonists sent to fight against them, a version of the iconic X-Men theme written by Ron Wasserman can be heard in the background. But this time, the tune everyone knows and loves does sound like it comes from a video game released around the time X-Men: The Animated Series was on television.
Due to the fact that it already counts with established characters, X-Men '97 can go places where the theatrical movies based on the characters never could. The story of the series follows Cyclops and Jean Grey as they try to lead a safe life while their baby arrives. Unfortunately for them, mutants can never be safe in the world of X-Men '97, and the team is given the task of finding Bolivar Trask when they believe a conspiracy against them is in place.
Magneto is Back Close Jubilee and Sunspot might be busy figuring out a way to deal with virtual enemies, but the real world has bigger problems waiting for them once they return. Magneto shocked the entire team when revealed that, before passing away, Charles Xavier had entrusted him to lead the X-Men and his school in his absence.
