X-Men ‘97 debuted on Disney+ last week to critical acclaim, instantly garnering some of the best reviews any Marvel Studios production has ever seen. Disney has now revealed that the animated show has received over four million views on its streamer within five days of release, with only two episodes out there.

The show has blown past previous Marvel shows like What If…? and other Disney shows like Iwájú. At the time of writing, the show sits with a highly respectable 98% on Rotten Tomatoes, with 49 reviews accounted for.

X-Men '97 continues the story from the end of X-Men: The Animated Series, with the mutant heroes being led by Magneto as per Professor X's will. With two episodes under its belt, the show has captured the imagination of both newer and older viewers by revisiting the themes of the original show in a new light.

The next episode of X-Men '97, titled "Fire Made Flesh", will air on March 27. The series will have ten episodes, with a second season already in development. You can pick up the official prelude to the series from your local comic book shop, which bridges the original show and the revival.

Marvel Studios will have only one theatrical release this year - Deadpool & Wolverine, which will also feature references to the larger X-Men universe. Besides that, the MCU will see two other series debut on Disney+ - Agatha and the animated Eyes of Wakanda. Outside of the MCU, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is also expected to be released in 2024.
