NEWS: Disney Fires 'X-Men '97' Creator One WEEK Ahead of Disney+ Premiere

A new Marvel show is coming to Disney+.

That show is X-Men ’97, and it’s set to take Marvel fans all the way back to the 1990s, as the band of mutants known as The X-Men face a world that hates and fears them but also a world they must protect no matter what. The animated series is set to premiere later this month, but the producer and creator of that series has suddenly been fired.

According to Variety, X-Men ’97 creator and executive producer Beau DeMayo has been fired from the project. DeMayo had already finished work on the first two seasons of X-Men ’97 before his firing. The show is set to premiere on Disney+ on March 20th. It has also been confirmed that he will not attend the March 13th Hollywood premiere for the series. His Instagram account has also been deleted.

DeMayo both wrote and produced the series, which is a sequel to the 1990s series on Fox Kids, X-Men: The Animated Series. No one has confirmed a reason for DeMayo’s sudden exit from the show, but it has been made clear that he will no longer be involved with future seasons of the series or promoting it.

DeMayo’s writing credits include the Marvel Disney+ series Moon Knight, as well as the upcoming Marvel Blade movie.

The voice cast for the series includes Ray Chase as Cyclops, Jennifer Hale as Jean Grey, Alison Sealy-Smith as Storm, Cal Dodd as Wolverine, JP Karliak as Morph, Lenore Zann as Rogue, George Buza as Beast, AJ LoCascio as Gambit, Holly Chou as Jubilee, Isaac Robinson-Smith as Bishop, Matthew Waterson as Magneto and Adrian Hough as Nightcrawler.
