How ‘X-Men ’97’ Connects to the MCU
Obviously X-Men ’97 is a continuation of X-Men: The Animated Series from the 1990s, which existed more than a decade before the actual start of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2008’s Iron Man. It clearly takes place in its own animated X-Men universe.
But the longer this season of X-Men ’97 goes on, the more it seems like this show is getting closer and closer to connecting to the main MCU. In our latest ScreenCrush video, we discuss how this show could fit into the bigger MCU, and how it could play a key role in bringing the X-Men into Marvel’s Multiverse Saga. Plus: Does the post-credits scene of The Marvels take place in the X-Men ’97 universe? We discuss all that and more in the video below:
