Disney acquired Fox in 2019, which held the rights to Marvel’s X-Men characters. This has left some wondering if the new series will bring the beloved mutant team to the MCU.
However, during a Q&A session on Instagram, series creator Bruce DeMayo responded to a question about its connection to the MCU. “We are our own thing,” he said.
While the MCU has long used interconnectivity as part of its brand, hopefully, “X-Men ’97” will be able to remain a separate, unique entity in Marvel’s growing multiverse saga.
