Marvel Animation’s X-MEN ’97 arrives in less than a week, and fans cannot wait to reunite with their beloved heroes. The series will kick off with a two-episode premiere next Wednesday, and the studio has just released a new feature to get us even more excited. It reminds us of the fantastic team and reunites us with the heroes who will carry the new series forward. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Pop those Adamatium Claws and hit play on the video below.
Fans have eagerly awaited the upcoming episodes of X-Men ’97. They will feature the return of beloved characters, including Wolverine, Cyclops, Rogue, Gambit, and Storm. The team will reunite again to protect humanity following Charles Xavier’s death.
The series has been coming for a long time, with young and old fans eager to learn what happens next. It’s a shame it took over two decades to make it to the assembly line. But now, all that is about to change, and our answers will arrive sooner than we thought. The series comes from beneath the newly minted Marvel Animation banner and will premiere on Disney Plus on March 20th.
NEW CHARACTER POSTERS
If the latest feature isn’t enough to ignite your X gene in delight, Disney+ has also shared the first character posters from the show. All the big guns are here for all to see, including Wolverine, Cyclops, Rogue, Beast, Gambit, Magneto, and more. Explore them below.
THE CAST
The upcoming X-Men series will revisit a classic period in the franchise’s history, featuring most original cast members reprising their roles. Cal Dodd, Lenore Zann, George Buza, Alison Sealy-Smith, Chris Potter, Catherine Disher, Adrian Hough, and Christopher Britton are all set to return. Moreover, some of them will voice new characters who will be joining the X-Men team.
X-Men ’97 will also welcome several new voices to the cast, including Jennifer Hale, Anniwaa Buachie, Ray Chase, Matthew Waterson, JP Karliak, Holly Chou, Jeff Bennett, and AJ LoCascio.
CREATIVES
Beau DeMayo is the head writer and executive producer of X-Men ’97. Jake Castorena and Charley Feldman are supervising directors and producers. X-Men: The Animated Series producers and showrunners Eric and Julia Lewald and original series director Larry Houston are also consulting on the new series.
Having Cal Dodd back to voice Wolverine is enough for me to reach for my adamantium claws! And with the series picking up where the original left off, legacy fans are in for a real treat. So get ready to hum the iconic theme again..and warm up the iconic “previously on X-Men” intro because this will be epic!
