Marvel TV Updates: X-Men ’97 Season 3 Planned, Wonder Man Season 2 Cancelled

Marvel Television announced that production on the third season of the animated series X-Men ’97 is nearing completion, with a possible early‑2027 premiere and a fourth season already green‑lit. The upcoming season is expected to bring back original characters such as Mystique, Destiny and members of the Brotherhood of Mutants, including Blob, Pyro, Avalanche, Toad and Surge.

Separately, Disney has cancelled the Marvel series Wonder Man after its first season, despite critical praise and an Emmy nomination. Industry observers cite two main theories: the rising salaries of star Yahya Abdul‑Mateen II and creator‑director Destin Daniel Cretton, and Disney’s cost‑control decisions amid broader budget pressures.

Both developments reflect Marvel’s shifting focus within its television slate as it balances new projects with the financial realities of high‑profile talent.
