Comic-Con 2026: X-Men ’97 Season 3 Set to Feature the Return of Iconic Mutant Villains

Marvel says X-Men ’97 Season 3 will bring back the Brotherhood, with Pyro, Avalanche, Blob, Toad, and Surge appearing in a Comic-Con clip.

Which villains are returning in X-Men ’97 Season 3?

Marvel’s Comic-Con panel reportedly revealed that the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants will appear in X-Men ’97 Season 3.

The panel’s preview clip featured Pyro, Avalanche, Blob, and Toad together on the streets. Surge, an electricity-wielding teenage mutant, was also shown as a new recruit accompanying the established Brotherhood members.

It is a strong collection of characters for the animated revival to deploy, particularly because the group can create trouble without relying on one enormous, season-dominating threat. Mutant politics were already complicated enough, but apparently the Brotherhood saw an opening in the schedule.

The central reveal currently rests on the supplied account of Marvel’s panel and has not been independently corroborated by the available sources. The identities shown in the clip should therefore be treated as details reported from the presentation rather than a complete Season 3 cast announcement.

What happens in the Comic-Con clip?

The reported Season 3 clip shows the Brotherhood writing “mutant freedom” on a building before being attacked by a new Sentinel variant.

Pyro, Avalanche, Blob, and Toad appear alongside Surge, who uses her electrical powers to charge up the group’s graffiti. The Sentinel that confronts them is described as wearing patriotic blue colours, giving the familiar mutant-hunting machines a pointed visual update.

The footage places the Brotherhood in a public confrontation rather than hiding them away for a late-season reveal. It also gives Surge an immediate place within the group and a visually punchy introduction, because subtle graffiti was never going to survive contact with electrical superpowers.

Beyond those details, the clip does not establish the full Season 3 story or how prominently the Brotherhood will feature. Marvel has plenty of pieces on this particular chessboard, and one preview cannot tell us which characters will drive the larger plot.

When will X-Men ’97 Season 3 be released?

X-Men ’97 Season 3 does not have a confirmed release date in the supplied panel report.

Executive producer Brad Winderbaum reportedly told attendees that the team was wrapping up animation on Season 3. He also said Season 4 had reached the animatics stage, indicating that work on both future seasons was under way when the panel took place.

The source coverage raises 2027 as a possible window for Season 3, but presents that timing as speculation rather than an official Marvel announcement. Animation progress alone cannot establish a release date, so the safer takeaway is that production is reported to be advanced while the rollout remains unconfirmed.

Disney+ operates in the UAE, but the available regional information does not confirm whether or when X-Men ’97 Season 3 will stream on the local service. UAE viewers should wait for a title-specific regional announcement before treating any global timing as local availability.
