After this week’s episode of X-Men ‘97 left Marvel fans in a state of emotional trauma, Marvel shared a new teaser for what’s to come in the remaining five episodes and it includes a very exciting appearance from a certain iconic weapon.
- The new 38-second teaser, titled “War,” features an appearance from Captain America’s shield.
- While the video doesn’t provide much context for the potential Captain America appearance in the series, we do see the iconic shield hit the snowy ground in front of a yellow boot, perhaps Rogue’s.
- It’s unclear if this would be Steve Rogers or Sam Wilson’s Captain America.
- However, this would not be the first time Cap showed up in the series, which is being continued from X-Men: The Animated Series.
- In season five, episode seven, titled “Old Soldiers,” we see a flashback to a time Wolverine teamed up with Captain America to take on the Red Skull.
- His appearance in this series could have larger repercussions though, especially after another character made a brief appearance in the series this week that could offer ties to the larger MCU.
- Aside from Cap’s shield, the new teaser features looks at Wolverine and Nightcrawler preparing to fight side by side, Storm continuing her adventure with Forge and quick glimpses of various X-Men leaping into action.
