• X-Men '97 director Emi/Emmett Yonemura praised Matthew Chauncey, stating, "I absolutely love working with him."
• Season 3 may thus take a different narrative direction to the first two seasons.

One of the returning X-Men '97 seasons 1 and 2 directors opens up on the new creative direction of the Marvel animated series in season 3. Following the big success of X-Men '97 season 1, Marvel Animation is planning beyond season 2. Currently in development, X-Men '97 season 3 will have a new showrunner as Matthew Chauncey is set to take over from Beau DeMayo.
Screen Rant recently chatted with X-Men '97 director Emi/Emmett Yonemura, who directed several episodes in season 1. While X-Men '97 season 2 has not premiered yet, they were asked about the new showrunner change for season 3, with Yonemura sharing their exciting experience of having begun working with Chauncey, saying the following:

Emi/Emmett Yonemura: Oh, he's lovely. I absolutely love working with him. He hasn't even been on super long, and he's already a super sweet, incredibly talented writer, so we're already having a blast over here, and I'm really excited for fans to kind of see what he helps bring to the table because it's amazing, he's a genius.

1 How X-Men '97 Season 3 Will Be Different Than Seasons 1 & 2 Close The way X-Men '97 season 1 concluded made it clear that the previous creative lead was planning the first two seasons to rely heavily on each other. Since the X-Men '97 finale finished with several mutants getting sent across different time periods, getting them back to the present will obviously take up most of season 2. However, since X-Men '97 season 2 was DeMayo's final season as showrunner, this raises questions regarding how season 3 will be handled.
It's very possible that X-Men '97 season 3 will kick off a whole new storyline that isn't directly tied to season 2. With Chauncey as the new showrunner, it will not come as a shock if X-Men '97 season 2 ends without any major cliffhangers, allowing season 3 to feel more standalone. At this point, X-Men '97 season 3 will probably premiere sometime in 2026 since season 2 will most likely debut in 2025.
The bigger question now is how long the Marvel audience will have to wait for X-Men '97 season 2 to premiere on Disney+. Since they have been working on X-Men '97 season 2 for quite some time, there is always the chance that the show will be back in early 2025. But until then, fans can relive X-Men '97 season 1 as they get ready for the next two seasons of the series.
X-Men '97 season 1 is available for streaming on Disney+.
X-Men '97 TV-14 X-Men '97 is the direct continuation of the popular 1990s animated series X-Men: The Animated Series. Taking up where the third season left off, Marvel's revival brings back famous mutants such as Wolverine, Storm, Rogue, Gambit, Cyclops, Beast, Magneto, and Nightcrawler, who fight villains like Mr. Sinister, the Sentinels, and the Hellfire Club.
