X-Men ’97 won’t be released this year after all, so fans who were hoping to see the animated X-Men again will have to wait a bit longer. X-Men ’97’s anticipated release date has been changed to early 2024, according to rumours. The X-Men: The Animated Series reboot was initially announced in 2021, so fans have been waiting since then. The series was earlier scheduled for a Fall 2023 release, prolonging the wait. Despite this setback, the source indicates that there will be much more to come and that a second season is already in progress, despite the fact that it hasn’t yet been formally announced. Additionally, the article mentioned how insiders who have watched the show have described it as “retro and a love letter to the original.” That comes after recent remarks from voice actress Lenore Zann, who similarly hinted that fans will enjoy what the revival series has in store. One of the cast members returning for X-Men ’97 is Zann, who performs her part as Rogue’s voice once more.
In an interview with Toonado, Zann remarked, “It’s amazing to receive this opportunity to re-inhabit the role of Rogue, who is my favourite I’ve portrayed to far. “I’m thankful to the viewers for their steadfast devotion to and support of our original series, as well as for my performance, which has enabled this. In addition, I’m appreciative of Beau DeMayo and Charley Feldman from X-Men ’97 for pushing me to reprise my role as Rogue. Rogue will experience a lot in X-Men ’97, as usual. She is a passionate lady, just like myself, who can’t help but show out her emotions. Therefore, prepare yourself for a rough trip by fastening your seatbelts. The voice cast also includes Christopher Britton (Mister Sinister), George Buza (Beast), Alison Sealy-Smith (Storm), and Cal Dodd (Wolverine), in addition to Zann. Other cast members, such as Chris Potter (Gambit), Alyson Court (Jubilee), and Catherine Disher (Jean Grey), are returning and voicing new, unspecified characters. Ray Chase (Cyclops), Jennifer Hale (Jean Grey), A.J. LoCascio (Gambit), Holly Chou (Jubilee), and Matthew Waterson (Magneto) are among the new voice actors.
