Now that the Disney/Fox merger has given the Mouse full control of the X-Men rights, it’s taking full advantage of that gift.Disney recently added a number of user avatar profiles to Disney+ directly inspired by 1992’s X-Men: The Animated Series. The available profiles include Cyclops, Beast, Wolverine, Jubilee, Gambit, Storm, Jean Grey, Rogue, Professor Xavier and Magneto.
The $71.3 billion merger between Disney and Fox gave the House of Mouse rights to both the X-Men and the Fantastic Four, thereby completing their re-acquisition of movie rights the company sold during its '90s bankruptcy period (aside from Spider-Man, which they share with Sony). The last non-Disney led X-Men product to release is The New Mutants, but it's been delayed yet again due to the coronavirus. How this will impact their introduction into the MCU is still unknown.
X-Men: The Animated Series debuted on October 31, 1992, on the Fox Kids Network and ran for five seasons. It was critically acclaimed for not only faithfully adapting the most iconic X-Men characters and storylines of that era, including the Dark Phoenix saga, but also exploring the franchise’s themes of prejudice and discrimination.
