Marvel Studios has announced that Magik, a character introduced in the live-action film The New Mutants in 2020, will be killed off in the upcoming second season of X-Men '97, set to premiere on March 20, 2024. This decision follows her brief appearances in the animated series, where she was not a central figure but held significance for her brother, Colossus. The trailer for season 2 hints at her death occurring during a catastrophic attack on Genosha by Master Mold and Sentinels, which also resulted in the deaths of many other mutants. Colossus is expected to experience profound grief, potentially leading him to seek vengeance against the attackers or to join the X-Men more actively. The series will delve into time travel, adding complexity to how Magik's fate unfolds. Despite her limited role in prior series, her death is poised to have a substantial emotional impact on the storyline.
