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.

Beau DeMayo is the head writer and executive producer of X-Men ’97. Jake Castorena and Charley Feldman are supervising directors and producers.
