Marvel has been through a lot of ups and downs post-Endgame. After a series of bombs at the box office, things are finally looking hopeful for the comic book giant after taking a back-to-basics approach. Bringing back the belovedX-Mencartoon from the 1990s was a slick move, as it brought back a lot of fans who had lost faith after consecutive failures likeThe MarvelsandShe-Hulk.
Every Marvel project lies in an interconnected web of possibilities, like the time we saw three versions of Spider-Men unite inSpider-Man: No Way Home. One of these threads might also linkThe MarvelstoX-Men ’97, two sagas that lie at opposite ends of audience reception.

How is Marvel’s most successful animation connected with its biggest bomb? Let’s have a look.
The Marvelspost-credit scene might be the window toX-Men ’97
The Brie Larson-ledThe Marvelsis infamous for being the biggest flop of the MCU. It confirmed the fact that the studio no longer retains its Midas touch. However, even with all the criticism and losses surrounding the film, it had a silver lining – theinformal introduction of mutants.
During the post-credit scene ofThe Marvels, we see Monica Rambeau getting stuck in an alternate dimension, where she opens her eyes toKelsey Grammer’s Beast along with Maria Rambeau. And not just that, Beast namedrops Professor X, confirming his presence as well.
Since two of the leading X-Men are already mentioned in this dimension, we can safely assume mutants do exist in their world. There might even be a possibility that this dimension can also be the home toX-Men ’97.
How plausible is X-Men ’97’s MCU connection?
The attempts at integrating the X-Men with the current MCU increased ever sinceAvengers: Endgame, as a number of OG Avengers, including the trinity, are no longer there. Marvel needs a new team of heroes that already has an established fanbase, to fast-track their way to redemption. And the X-Men seem to be a very plausible choice.
Deadpool & Wolverine [Credit: Walt Disney Pictures]Deadpool & Wolverineis already going to integratemutants from the old Fox filmsinto the MCU. TheDeadpoolthreequel is already showing all the signs of a blockbuster. Since future projects depend on how successful an IP is, things are looking bright for X-Men, thanks toX-Men ’97andDeadpool 3.
Moreover, the connections are already there: X-Men frequently collaborate with other superheroes, which was seen in ‘97and will also likely be seen inDeadpool & Wolverine, hence the presence of Maria Rambeau inThe Marvels’post-credits scene.Professor X is back from the deadinX-Men ’97, hence Beast talks about giving him a report. AndDP3might be the thread that binds them all.Kevin Feigetoo wantedX-Men ’97to tie into the MCU, andThe Marvelscould be one of those tether points.

However, these are just theories, and nothing is set in stone, yet. We can only hope and wait forThe Marvels’tease to turn into something useful.
X-Men ’97andThe Marvelsare streaming onDisney+.
