As we inch closer to the return of Disney+ and Marvel Animation's X-Men '97 for its second season, we've got two new mini-profile teasers to pass along – with the latest editions spotlighting Lenore Zann's Rogue and Isaac Robinson-Smith's Bishop. But before we get to that, Marvel Studios released two additional season teasers that spotlight just how time-displaced our heroes are – and how much of a threat Apocalypse truly is.

With less than two weeks to go until the animated series returns on July 1st, here's a look at the official roll call for Disney+ and Marvel Animation's X-Men '97 Season 2 that was released earlier this month:

X-Men '97 EPs on Gambit's Death & Season 2: Rogue, Apocalypse & More

Shortly after the official trailer and release date were announced, EPs Larry Houston and Eric & Julia Lewald dropped some key intel on what viewers can expect (including that the team is already offering script notes for Season 4). For this go-around, the trio discussed the lasting impact that Gambit's (A.J. LoCascio)  death is having on the team, with Houston noting that it "looms greatly over season 2," especially with Rogue (Lenore Zann) still mourning. "Gambit has been such a core character to the X-Men, pretty much since he debuted in the comics back in 1990," Houston added. "He's been a huge part of our storytelling in the animated series, as well, and I know fans have a lot of expectations on how we follow up on everything that happened in season 1 in this new season."

Of course, how can we forget that scene during the end credits of the first season finale, with Apocalypse holding one of Gambit's playing cards and saying, "So much pain, my children. So much… death," as he stares at the place where Gambit lost his life. Considering Gambit's "history" with Apocalypse in the comics and that ten-ton hint that was dropped with the "death" line, it looks like Apocalypse might be getting the nad back together. "We probably don't wanna get too close to answering that specifically, but appreciate that a lot of folks are picking up breadcrumbs. And that's positive," Julia offered. Eric added, "If you were a betting man, I would say, follow the breadcrumbs."
