X-Men ’97 Season 2 Episode 4: Apocalypse Rises Again, and Time Is Running Out

After a jam-packed three-episode premiere, X-Men ’97 Season 2 finally slows down to a weekly heartbeat. Episode 4, “Rise of Apocalypse – Part II,” drops on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, continuing the ancient Egypt showdown that’s already reshaping the season’s biggest threat: En Sabah Nur himself.

When and Where to Watch X-Men ’97?

The episode streams exclusively on Disney+, releasing simultaneously worldwide — so no region gets a head start.

What’s Left Hanging From Episode 3

Episode 3 left the team scattered across timelines with plenty unresolved. Magneto and Professor Xavier remain split over whether young En Sabah Nur’s fate can be rewritten, while the X-Men face down Rama-Tut’s superlaser in Ancient Egypt. Meanwhile, Cyclops and Jean Grey are stuck in the far future with Nathan Summers, and X-Force and X-Factor hold the fort in the present timeline. Bishop has just reached Ancient Egypt too, but Forge’s rescue mission is far from finished.

Why the Weekly Wait Actually Helps

After the whirlwind of a triple premiere, the show now returns to the same steady, one-episode-a-week rhythm that carried its acclaimed first season. It’s a familiar approach in animated television, echoing how classic X-Men: The Animated Series built anticipation decade after decade with weekly cliffhangers rather than binge dumps. With six episodes still to go before the August 12 finale, fans have plenty of time to theorize about Apocalypse’s Horsemen — and whether Gambit’s death gets addressed along the way.
