THE CAST
The upcoming X-Men series will revisit a classic period in the franchise’s history. It features 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 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. Get ready to hum the iconic theme and warm up the “previously on X-Men” intro—this will be epic!
X-MEN ’97 launches on Disney+ tomorrow with a two-episode premiere.
