Marvel fans have had a surplus of Disney Plus content to enjoy this year, including two live-action shows in Wonder Man and Daredevil: Born Again. The former stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Ben Kingsley, and after shattering expectations as a binge drop, Marvel shocked the world by renewing the series for Season 2. The latter stars Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio, and after another successful season, Marvel is already shooting the third, which is bringing back even more Defenders. Marvel fans are also preparing to return to theaters for the first MCU movie of 2026 with Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is expected to lead directly into Avengers: Doomsday on December 18. However, before sitting down with a large popcorn and your favorite drink in the theater, Marvel’s highest-rated project of all time is here to help bridge the gap.
The series in reference is X-Men ‘97, which returned earlier this week with its long-awaited second season after a two-year hiatus. Marvel fans are also hard at work analyzing potential connections to other projects, and some viewers have called attention to an MCU film from all the way back in Phase Two of the Infinity Saga. During the credits at the end of X-Men ‘97 Season 2, Episode 3, fans noticed that Magneto’s voice actor, Matthew Waterson, was credited with another role, the Celestial, Eson. While Eson did not appear in the 2021 Celestial-centric Marvel film, Eternals, he was seen in a different Marvel project. Eson, who once wielded the Power Stone, showed up in a brief flashback during Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 1 in 2014. Eson is also the main villain of the Guardians of the Galaxy ride at Disney World. It’s also important to note that Waterson is far from the only voice actor in X-Men ’97 to voice multiple characters. Ross Marquand voices both Professor X and Apocalypse, while Jennifer Hale is the voice of Jean Grey and more than five other characters.

You do the right thing not because it’s easy, but because no one else will.
You understand that responsibility isn’t a burden you choose — it’s one that finds you.
Whether it’s a neighbourhood mugging or a multiverse crisis, you show up.
Peter Parker’s lesson — that great power demands great responsibility — isn’t a slogan to you. It’s the code you live by, even when it costs you everything.
Hell’s Kitchen, New York

You use every tool available — your mind, your body, your faith — to protect those the system overlooks.
You’ve looked into the darkness and chosen not to become it, though the line has never been easy.
Matt Murdock’s duality — champion in the courtroom, devil in the alley — mirrors your own.
Relentless, conflicted, and unwilling to stop. That is exactly you.

You build, you plan, and when the moment comes, you’re willing to give everything. Because in the end, you’re Iron Man.
New York City
💀 The Punisher
You’ve been through fire that would break most people — and it did change you, completely. What’s left is unyielding, relentless, and operating by a code forged in grief.

You don’t ask for forgiveness, and you don’t expect gratitude.
You see a corrupt, broken world and you’ve decided to do something about it, consequences be damned.

You’re larger than life, yet more vulnerable than you let on.
Thor’s story is one of transformation: from arrogant prince to worthy king, from isolated warrior to beloved protector.
You bring the storm when it’s needed — and the warmth when it matters just as much.
Brooklyn, New York · The Avengers

You don’t bully the small guy, and you never stop when it gets hard.
Steve Rogers didn’t become a hero when he got the serum — he was always one. So were you.

In a world full of people taking the easy road, you’re the one who picks up the shield and stands up — every single time.

Is Marvel Making Another ‘Eternals’ Movie?
The latest reporting on a potential sequel to Eternals was that the film was planned at one point but shelved after the original movie underwhelmed at the box office and was so divisive among fans. Marvel invested $200 million into the making of Eternals, and the studio certainly would have liked to see it make more than $402 million globally, especially considering this was well short of its break-even point. Only time will tell if Marvel has bigger plans for the Eternals in Avengers: Doomsday or another future project.
Check out the first three episodes of X-Men ‘97 Season 2 on Disney Plus and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of the show.
