Warning ! This article contains spoilers for X - men ' 97 !
Summary
A cryptic post on societal medium just madeMarveltheories circumvent time travel inX - Men ' 97much more tenable . X - Men ' 97has been a welcome hiatus for MCU devotee seek out top - quality Marvel programming despite the series on the face of it occur outside the wider MCU narrative . Part of its distance from distinctive MCU traditional knowledge mean that all bets are off when it come to see out the rules of clip travel that have become central to theMCU ’s Multiverse Saga . That was , at least , until one of its primary characters referenced a multiversal construct recently introduced in the MCU viaWhat If … ? .
late developments inX - Men ' 97have seen the beloved Gambit and multiple other prominent mutants adjoin their end thanks to a rampage monster Sentinel in Episode 5 . With Gambit being such a popular figure within the X - Men , rooter have been scrambling for possible routes in which his death can be undone with the most convincing surround Cable ’s time - traveling abilities . Cable ’s late credit of " absolute points in time"in Episode 8 seemed to put those theories to bottom . That is until the series ' author , Beau DeMayo , just stirred the time - travel pot once more .
Marvel Studios ' XTC - Men ' 97 episode 9 is full of iconic Easter bollock and references to both the original comics , the original animated serial , and more .
X-Men ‘97’s Creator Teases A Time Loop With Cryptic Social Media Post
In a post viaTwitter / X , Beau DeMayo enigmatically assigned viewers " homework " beforeX - Isle of Man ' 97 ’s grand closing curtain , which comprise theStar Trek : The Next Generationepisode " Cause and Effect . " The installment in question features the gang of the USS Enterprise becoming embroiled in a time grummet for 17 days . It even boast the destruction of the Enterprise before the crew ’s sharp thinking allow them to forefend being perpetually entrap in the tragic succession and move off from the spatial anomaly causing it .
The implications here are staring . Unless Beau DeMayo is using the episode to hint at a Kelsey Grammer cameo ( as he debut as Captain Morgan Bateson in " Cause and Effect"),it looks as if a sentence grummet or something similar will feature inX - man ' 97Episode 10 . The clue is perplexing , give that DeMayo himself of late seemed to thwart all suggestions that time - traveling shenanigans would assist retcon the current country of affairs , unambiguously submit in another societal medium berth , " No time travelling to get us outta this one , folks . "
Could There Be Hope For Gambit After All?

The apparent permanency of Gambit ’s death was especially scandalous give how dear the character is and how little attention he has received in hot - legal action , furthering the disregard of the grapheme . Yet DeMayo ’s cryptic comment seems to suggest that there is hope yet , asit is hard to harmonise the idea that a clock time loop will act a role in the final episode ofX - human race ' 97Season 1 without bringing back Gambit . For that matter , mutants like Sebastian Shaw , Callisto , and the Morlocks also feel like significant losses that command a definitive comic book retcon .
Yet DeMayo ’s insistency that time travel would not retcon this situation ca n’t be ignore as much as Cable ’s insistency that the rape on Genosha was an rank tip in meter . Doing so now might cheapen the moment and make succeeding deaths seems less impactful . Instead , the time loop DeMayo seems to touch to may fetch the X - Men back to a point past Genosha , leave Gambit ’s Resurrection of Christ to become a larger plot point inX - valet de chambre ' 97 ’s future .
