X-Men ’97 Season 2 Is ‘Very, Very Dark’ Revels Voice Actor
According to actor Ross Marquand, who voices Professor X, the second season of X-Men '97 will be 'very dark'.
The hype around X-Men ‘97 continues to grow, with new details suggesting the already intense animated series is heading into even darker territory.
Ross Marquand, who voices Professor X in the series, recently told Collider that he is “amazed” Disney actually greenlit the second season due to its content.
According to Marquand, the next installment in the popular series is “very, very dark.” He elaborated on the tone, noting, “A lot of people die, and so many people don’t talk about it.”
This statement hints at the massive escalation in stakes and potentially devastating consequences that the X-Men will face.
The Stakes of X-Men ’97 Are Getting Higher
The first season of X-Men ’97 was certainly not afraid of high stakes, tackling themes of genocide, grief, and survival head on, all while delivering a stunningly emotional finale. However, Marquand’s comments suggest that Season 2 will push the boundaries even further.
The return of classic heroes and villains in the series already guarantees intense action, but the voice actor’s shock over the darker material indicates the writers are exploring complex, heavy themes that are unusually mature for an animated project under the Disney banner.
Fans are now speculating about which beloved characters might face a permanent end and how the team will cope with such heavy losses.
The focus on death and darkness aligns with the dramatic tension expected as the show presumably moves closer to adapting pivotal comic book storylines.
The community is watching closely to see if the second season of the series will live up to the promise of being Disney’s darkest Marvel outing yet.
What do you think will be the biggest challenge for the X-Men to overcome if Season 2 is truly that dark? Comment with us right below, and stay tuned to Legado da Marvel so you don’t miss any news!
