I'm not sure if this is old news to any of you but I just found this trailer and thought I'd post it for the rest of you.

There calling this new show Wolverine and the X-men.

Well, I think I just had a nerdgasm. I'm really liking the dark tone set here as well as the sheer number of characters that were shown in there.

I can't wait

Wow. Looks like X-Men Evolution meets the X-Men movies, with Spectacular Spider-man's art style.

Steve Blum is back as Wolverine (Who he played in X-Men Legends I and II, and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance), so that's nice. Ian McKellen isn't doing Magneto, but whoever IS playing Magneto does a good job of sounding like Ian McKellen.

I definitely saw Hulk in there. That's great. I never like Cyclops with the cowl, and the trench coat doesn't really help. Though, to be fair, I was never a big fan of Cyclops, save for the laser beam eyes. (And the totally bitchin' sunglasses)

This really looks like it's going to be great.

I just want to know when it will begin airing.

I've really enjoyed Spectacular Spiderman, and this series looks like it will be even better.

What channel is Spectacular Spiderman on? I've been wanting to watch that show.

As for the new X-Men cartoon, it looks cool. Emma Frost, Gambit, Archangel, and in the last frame, there was someone in the back that looked somewhat like Morph. They are bringing in a whole lot of classic characters back for a new generation. Personally, I never really liked X-Men: Evolution, but I like the dark, post-apocalyptic tone of this series, so, I will definitely be watching this one when it debuts!

Cyclops was always one of my fav's.

It's on the "Kid's WB" soon to be called "Kid's CW" in my area so I'm guessing its the same by you.

Magneto = Mr. Herriman from Foster's Home.

This looks awesome as hell.

I'm at a loss for words to describe how awesome this is.

The only thing that would make this even better, if they added in Deadpool(and if it was TV-MA so they could make Deadpool act like Deadpool)

But other than that, holy crap. Magneto being portrayed as not a bad-guy, glorious.

I can't find the topic on here, but I seem to recall hearing that the CW cartoons are being phased out this Fall. It'll be up to 4 kids on Fox to pick these shows up. I really hope they do, I liked the new X-men video.

WOW.. That looks promising..

They have a lot of characters covered.. Even the Hulk..

Looks very cool. I would Have called it something like X-Men Unite or something to that effect. No need to actually emphasize Wolverine's protagonism in it even more. And Its good they give it some continuity with Wolvie's voice actor he's spot on.

Still looks like it'll be good. Hope the writing is up to par.

But I am liking the sheer number of X-Men they are bringing out.
And no lame Spike. good to see some X-Factor members like Feral there.

And I know Scarlet Witch is Magneto's Daughter, but isn't she supposed to be an Avenger?

I'd like to see Cable and Forge though.

I havent heard that but thanks for the warning.

She wasnt always an Avenger.

She and her twin brother were originally both members of the first "Brotherhood of evil Mutants" before joining the Avengers.

And as an Avenger she was responcable for killing Avengers members Antman, Hawkeye and her husband the Vision the android....which forced the team to disband.

Good guy Magneto makes me feel all tingly inside. Though wasn't he a good guy in Age of Apocalypse? This reminds me of Age of Apocalypse, too.

Now that I did not know? Stopped reading comics back in the mid 90's so whatever happened afterwards I don't know.

The X-Men evolution Wanda was out of control and was a teenager so she had more of a reason to fit in with the Brotherhood, even though she really did not like them. Kept tossing Toad around every episode.

Which part???Her originally being part of the Brotherhood or her killing Avengers???

It was a lot like that in the comics too.

And lets not forget the Ultimate versions of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch....

Lets just say they do things that is frowned upon everywhere but Kentucky.

And Wolverine watched from the bushes.

Wow! That looks awesome! It's like X-Men Evolution and the old 90's X-Men cartoon had a beautiful child. Only thing I hate about it is the title. Almost didn't click on the video because it sounded so kiddie. But it's understandable because Wolverine is the leader. I can't wait for this show to come on TV. I wish someone like YTV or TeleToon would make a superhero block with this, TF Animated, Spectacular Spider-man, and Legion of Superheroes. That would be sick!

One of the many reasons I dont read Ultimate Marvel.

Hmm. Interesting to say the least. I like them using the animation style of Spider-Man and Evolution. But I really love how it's dark like th 90's toon. Seeing Spiral is a plus as well. Though I hate the whole "OH WOLVERINE IS AWESOME! LET'S MAKE HIM THE CENTER OF EVERYTHING". Don't get me wrong, I like the character, but good lord I wish they wouldn't hype him up so much.

I agree with you.

Why is the Hulk there?

I liked X-Men Evolution(dam fine artwork), and with alittle self dillusion, this will be a very nice continuation of a series that I always felt didn't get the credit or respect it deserved.

Because they're all from Marvel, and the Hulk is about as "popular," in the Marvel Universe as any Mutant.

Uh no duh but he isn't a mutant

And that has what to do with what? Just because it's an X-Men show doesn't mean other Marvel characters can't appear. Especially since they have been since the Iron Man cartoon from 96 if not earlier.

I didn't say they couldn't I am wondering why he is there

The story is about the Xmen and the brotherhood

Is he making a special appearance because of the movie coming out

I just want to know thats all
