X-Men ’97 is set to bring the X-Men to the Marvel multiverse when it debuts on Disney Plus. A new look at the Marvel Legends replica of Magneto’s helmet from the series has been revealed.
Magneto’s helmet is one of the most iconic pieces of any costume in comics, let alone Marvel. Ahead of X-Men ’97 premiering on Disney Plus, Hasbro has released a first look at the brand new replica of Magneto’s helmet from the Marvel Legends line. The helmet is a wearable recreation of the iconic headwear and comes with its own display stand. Images of the helmet can be seen below:
Interestingly, Magneto wasn’t wearing his iconic helmet when the show was first shown off at San Diego Comic-Con last year. Many fans speculated the Master of Magnetism would simply go without his super-persona in X-Men ’97. However, this Marvel Legends reveal from Hasbro assures fans that, even if he’s found a new sense of justice, Magneto never lost his sense of fashion.
What can fans expect from X-Men ’97?
The final episode of the original series saw the X-Men saying goodbye to Charles Xavier as he left with Lilandra to visit the Shi’Ar homeworld. X-Men ’97 will pick up where the original series left off and promises to feature some of the most iconic villains from the X-Men universe, including Mister Sinister, Emma Frost, Sebastian Shaw, Callisto and Valerie Cooper.
Fans can look forward to the return of some of their favorite voice actors from the original series, including Cal Dodd, Lenore Zann, George Buza, Adrian Hough, Christopher Britton, Catherine Disher, Chris Potter, Alison Sealy-Smith, and Alyson Court. In addition, X-Men ’97 will include the voice talents of Jennifer Hale, Anniwaa Buachie, Ray Chase, Matthew Waterson, JP Karliak, Holly Chou, Jeff Bennett and AJ LoCascio.
X-Men ’97 was originally slated to premiere in the fall of 2022, but has been pushed back with no official release date. With Marvel reducing its Disney Plus output, X-Men ’97 is now expected to debut sometime in 2024.
