X-Men '97 is now just 10 days away from arriving on Disney+ with a 2-episode premiere, and Marvel Studios has today released an awesome new TV spot for the X-Men: The Animated Series revival (via Toonado.com).
The presentation here is genius as it's formatted like a commercial you'd see on an old-style TV set from the '90s, something we know fans of that original TV show will appreciate. There's plenty of new footage to be found, though, including Wolverine declaring, "Daddy's home!"
Cyclops, meanwhile, runs afoul of some mutant-hating thugs and there are some great shots of heroes like Rogue, Storm, and Jubilee blasting into action. That animation style is super impressive, particularly as it invokes memories of the classic show.
Earlier this week, Marvel Studios shared a full list of episode titles and air dates for X-Men '97's first ten-episode season. You can check those out here.
