Who directed the X-Men '97 season 2 premiere, Days of Past Future?

Emmett Yonemura directed the X-Men '97 season 2 premiere, “Days of Past Future.” Yonemura, also credited as Emi-Emmett Yonemura, returned as one of the revival’s directors after working on the first season.

The premiere follows the consequences of the season 1 finale, when the X-Men are scattered across different eras. The season’s larger story moves between the 1990s, ancient Egypt, and a distant future, linking the time-travel premise to the emerging threat of Apocalypse.

Yonemura directed the premiere with Brian Ford Sullivan credited as its writer. The episode’s title deliberately echoes “Days of Future Past,” one of the most famous X-Men stories, while adding “Days of Past” to reflect the season’s movement through multiple historical periods.

A frequent mix-up is Jake Castorena, who was the revival’s supervising director, and Chase Conley, another returning episode director. Yonemura is the credited director for the season 2 opener.
