I'd love to see this. They'd better use the old theme, or this is an instant no-go. 

For anyone interested in the old show, and loves seeing lots of pre-prod material, animation cels and such, and the story of the show's genesis, I highly recommend the Lewalds' 'Previously On...' which has all that and more. Essential book for any fan.

X-Men: The Animated Series star Cal Dodd is taking another stab at voicing Wolverine in X-Men '97. The all-new original series from Marvel Studios picks up where the beloved '90s cartoon left off, continuing the animated adventures of the mutants assembled by Professor Charles Xavier (voice of Cedric Smith) in the version that aired between 1992 and 1997. After announcing the Disney+ revival in November, Marvel confirmed Dodd's return alongside original cast members Lenore Zann (Rogue), George Buza (Beast), Alison Sealy-Smith (Storm), Chris Potter (Gambit), Catherine Disher (Jean Grey), Adrian Hough (Nightcrawler), and Christopher Britton (Minister Sinister). 

 

"Guess what I was doing in the studio today? SO great to be back!!!," tweeted Dodd, who voiced the metal-clawed mutant in all five seasons of X-Men: The Animated Series and two episodes of Spider-Man: The Animated Series. The 2023 revival marks Dodd's first time voicing the character since the original X-Men ended in 1997.

In an interview on Justin Underwood's YouTube channel, X-Men: The Animated Series' writers Eric and Julia Lewald teased details about Marvel Studios' X-Men '97 on Disney+.

 

Praising the work being done by showrunner Beau DeMayo and the team at Marvel Studios, the two revealed that X-Men '97 will be ten episodes long. It's also being prepped for release on Disney+ sometime in the mid-2023:

 

"There is great love and affection and respect from an entire group of people that are doing this show, starting at the top with Beau DeMayo as the showrunner. And they have this challenge, I believe, looking at 10 episodes for the first season that’s gonna come out mid-next year, and they’re starting it soon after ours ended."

And they said the story will pick up right where the old series left off, with an injured Professor Xavier going off with Lilandra to be cured. I can't wait for this.

X-Men '92: House of XCII - by Steve Foxe with art by Salvador Espin and Israel Silva - is a new series from Marvel Comics that evokes the spirit of X-Men: The Animated Series. The five-issue limited series reimagines Jonathan Hickman's acclaimed 2019 relaunch of the X-Men - House of X/Powers of X - as if it happened back in the '90s, with '90s X-Men characters and attitudes, and will go all the way up through the recent Inferno event. Amy Reeder, an Eisner Award-nominated artist and writer known for her work on Madame Xanadu and Amethyst, revealed her variant cover on Twitter, boldly proclaiming, "I love the 90s and the 90s love me." Her brilliant and hilarious art features a yearbook-style page with classic '90s neon color and eye-catching design, while awarding some of the most famous X-Men superlatives like "most school spirit."
