X-Men '97: What can be expected from the rebooted series?

The X-Men '97 is expected to be released by the end of this year. The franchise has been a beloved and longstanding part of the Marvel universe since its inception in 1963. In order for the rebooted series to be successful, it will need to continue to tackle important issues and stay true to the spirit of the original comics.

The team characters were created during the Civil Rights Movement and were intended to be an allegory for the struggle of marginalized communities. Over the years, the franchise has tackled a variety of issues, including prejudice, discrimination, and social justice.

Nevertheless, Professor X and Magneto have always been the heart and soul of the X-Men franchise. Their complex relationship, which has been both cooperative and adversarial over the years, is one of the most compelling aspects of the X-Men universe. Any successful X-Men movie will need to explore this relationship in depth and give both characters the time and attention they deserve.

Of course, there are many unknowns when it comes to the rebooted X-Men franchise. We don't yet know who will be cast in the roles of our favorite mutants or what stories will be explored.

However, with Marvel Studios at the helm, fans can rest assured that the X-Men franchise is in good hands.
