The first clip from X-Men '97 has been released online ahead of the animated revival's March 20 premiere, and it finds the team doing battle with the giant mutant-hunting robots known as the Sentinels.
Cyclops, Wolverine, Bishop, Beast, Gambit, Rogue, and Morph (there's no sign of Storm or Jubilee) make short work of the machanical menaces, but it looks like another enemy is keeping a close eye on the fight.
The first reactions to the show (see below) have been very positive so far, and it sounds like fans of the original '90s animated series have a lot to look forward to.
X-Men '97 will serve as a direct sequel to X-Men: The Animated Series' five-season run.
Returning voice cast members include Lenore Zann as Rogue, Cal Dodd as Wolverine, Catherine Disher as Jean Grey, George Buza as Beast, Chris Potter as Gambit, Adrian Hough as Nightcrawler, Alison Sealy-Smith as Storm, Christopher Britton as Mister Sinister, and Alyson Court as Jubilee.
The official synopsis reads: "Storm and Wolverine try to continue the X-Men. Magneto comes in and wants to step up for Charles Xavier. [Mister] Sinister comes in to try to end the X-Men once and for all."
