Ahead of the two-episode series finale of Agatha All Along, Marvel Studios abruptly revealed its 2025 streaming slate through a video shared across its social media platforms. The impressive plans include 3 live-action and 3 animated series sprinkled in throughout the year. Combined with the studio’s theatrical release schedule, the hefty slate means that fans can look forward to new content in nine months in 2025. However, despite giving fans much to look forward to next year, the slate does have one very noticeable omission.
While Marvel Animation will roll out Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Eyes of Wakanda and Marvel Zombies in 2025, Season 2 of X-Men ’97 was not included in the studio’s release schedule.
The x-clusion of the sophomore season of the animated does not come as a complete surprise despite the studio having greenlit a second batch of episodes in 2022. A recent report indicated that the series was undergoing some reconfiguring following the firing of showrunner Beau DeMayo and would be delayed until 2026.
X-Men ’97 was a massive hit for Marvel Studios, providing much-needed positive vibes for the company following an unprecedented rough patch. The Season 1 finale left off with a cliffhanger that set up the series for an adaptation of Marvel Comics’ Age of Apocalypse event which DeMayo indicated was indeed part of his five-year plan for the show. With Ms. Marvel and What If…? writer Matthew Chauncey taking over for DeMayo and reportedly rewriting much of Season 2, it remains to be seen how much, if any, of the original arcs planned for the series come to fruition.
