Disney+'s X-Men: The Animated Series revival, X-Men '97, had yet to be been given an official premiere date, but we had heard that there were tentative plans for the show to debut on the streaming service before year's end.
However, we're going to have to wait a little longer to see the mutant heroes in action.
Amid a series of release date shake-ups, X-Men '97 has been officially pushed back to early 2024. In addition, the second season of the animated What If...? series is now scheduled for "around Christmas Day."
Hawkeye spin-off Echo was originally set for November 29, but has now shifted to January 2024. Agatha: Coven of Chaos - which has been retitled Agatha: Darkhold Diaries - has been hit with a lengthy delay, and won't be with us until next October.
Ironheart has been taken off the calendar altogether, while Daredevil: Born Again and Wonder Man are still in limbo after pausing mid-production due to the strikes.
A disappointing development, for sure, but there is a growing perception that Marvel was starting to churn out a few too many of these MCU shows in short order, so the fact that the studio is seems to be taking more of a "quality over quantity" approach (even if they have little choice in the matter) can only yield positive results in the long run.
To recap - Marvel Studios' updated Disney+ release schedule:
Loki S2 - Oct. 6
What If S2 - Christmas
Echo - Jan 2024
X-Men 97 - Early 2024
Agatha: Darkhold Diaries - Fall 2024
Ironheart - Undated
Wonder Man - Undated
Daredevil: Born Again - Undated
