As for Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Mana fall 2026 launch has been announced, with Charlie Cox set to reprise his role as Daredevil… this time, in his classic red suit. Spider-Gwen will appear (she was shown trying to break into Oscorp), as will Doctor Octopus, Scorpion, and Chameleon.

Nico Minoru, meanwhile, was shown using her new magical powers, while Norman and Harry Osborn prepared to return. It was also confirmed that we will get the Venom Symbiote, something the season 1 finale set the stage for.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Marvel Television boss Brad Winderbaum addressed X-Men ’97 Season 1 showrunner Beau DeMayo’s departure from the series.

“Well, first of all, it’s actually the entire creative team. Same director, same producers, same cast, many of the same writers, and it all stands on the shoulders of giants. One of the things that makes X-Men ’97 work so well is that everyone is rowing in exactly the same direction. Everyone who works on the show knows that original series inside and out. And we work very closely with Eric, Julia Lewald and Larry Houston. [creators of X-Men: The Animated Series]. They are here all the time to review the material and chat with the artists. The second season seems to be a worthy successor to the first season. »

When asked about Professor X actor Ross Marquand’s comments on the deaths of many characters in season 2, he responded: “I would say it’s the same issues as season 1. I wouldn’t say a lot of characters die! It’s not Marvel Zombies, but like a lot of great animated series, like X-Men ’97 season 1, mortality is on the table and some of these characters want to do what’s right at all costs.”
