Beau DeMayo, showrunner and executive producer of the upcoming Disney+ animated series “X-Men '97,” has been fired ahead of its March 20 premiere. diverse He confirmed it.
DeMayo had completed work on seasons one and two of “X-Men '97” before his exit. He will not attend the series' Hollywood premiere on March 13. His Instagram account, which was previewing artwork and answering fan questions about “X-Men '97,” has also been deleted.
He wrote and produced “X-Men '97,” a continuation of the popular “X-Men: The Animated Series” that aired on Fox Kids in the 1990s. It's not clear why DeMayo was fired from “X-Men '97” so shortly before the premiere, but he will no longer be promoting the show or participating in future seasons.
DeMayo has also written about the Marvel and Disney+ series “Moon Knight” starring Oscar Isaac, and the upcoming feature film “Blade” starring Mahershala Ali.

And “before dawn.”
Several members of the original “X-Men: The Animated Series” cast return in “X-Men '97” more than 30 years after the series' finale. The new show picks up where the '90s Saturday morning cartoons left off: Professor Charles Xavier is believed to be dead, and his arch-rival Magneto has taken control of his last will and testament. The X-Men, consisting of Wolverine, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm, Jubilee, Beast, Gamibit, Morph, Bishop and more, must fight new enemies in a world that fears them.
