X-Men '97 Season 2 is set to premiere on Disney+ on July 1, and actor Tyler Mane, who played Sabretooth in the 2000 film X-Men, has publicly disclosed a male breast cancer diagnosis.
The X-Men franchise is currently active on two fronts: a new season of the animated series X-Men '97 and a personal health disclosure from a film-era actor. Marvel and Disney+ announced on May 28 that Season 2 of X-Men '97 will begin streaming on July 1, accompanied by a new trailer and key visual. The series continues the 1990s X-Men animated series, which ran for five seasons starting in 1992. Season 1 achieved a 99% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, the highest score ever for a Marvel work. Season 2 pits the X-Men against Apocalypse, described as the oldest and strongest mutant, now an omnipotent god. The trailer shows the team battling across past, present, and future timelines. The returning roster includes Cyclops, Wolverine, Beast, Storm, Jean Grey, Rogue, Bishop, Morph, Sunspot, and Cable. Season 1 featured surprise cameos from Iron Man, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, and Daredevil. The Season 2 trailer includes a brief glimpse of Deadpool, possibly transformed by Morph, though his actual appearance is not confirmed.
Separately, on June 10, actor Tyler Mane, who played Sabretooth in the 2000 film X-Men and Michael Myers in the 2007 Halloween remake, announced on Instagram that he has been diagnosed with male breast cancer. He said he initially considered keeping the diagnosis private but decided to speak out to raise awareness about the rare disease, which is often detected late in men. Mane's disclosure is not connected to the animated series but adds a real-world dimension to the franchise's current news cycle.
