X-Men ‘97’s Golden Rules Finally Revealed (& The MCU’s Reboot Needs To Follow Them)

Beau DeMayo, firm in his belief that Wolverine should be a relatively minor character, suggested it was time for the X-Men to move beyond relying so heavily on him. He explained that each season of X-Men ‘97 would center on a different hero, with Season 3 dedicated to Gambit and his storyline inspired by Age of Apocalypse—where he’ll be tasked by Magneto to gather a team and find the M’Krann Crystal. This all but confirms Gambit’s survival within the show’s continuity. One fan praised this approach, saying they appreciated the team divisions mirroring the comics and were happy the show wouldn’t become solely focused on Wolverine, like some previous X-Men cartoons.
