Despite his surprise exit from the Disney+ revival, X-Men ’97 creator Beau DeMayo continues to answer fan questions about the latest episodes of the animated series on social media.
Ahead of the eighth episode’s premiere next week, DeMayo advised viewers to revisit a popular story arc from X-Men: The Animated Series in preparation for the first part of the show’s three-part finale titled “Tolerance Is Extinction.”
The said arc was called as “One Man’s Worth,” which was a two-episode storyline from the fourth season of the original series. It was a time travel-centered arc featuring a sentinel killing a young Charles Xavier to create a dystopian future where mutants are engaged in a full-on war against humans.
Who’s the voice cast of X-Men ’97?
X-Men ’97 features the voices of Ray Chase as Cyclops, Jennifer Hale as Jean Grey, Alison Sealy-Smith as Storm, Cal Dodd as Wolverine, JP Karliak as Morph, Lenore Zann as Rogue, George Buza as Beast, AJ LoCascio as Gambit, Holly Chou as Jubilee, Isaac Robinson-Smith as Bishop, Matthew Waterson as Magneto, Adrian Hough as Nightcrawler, Theo James as Bastion, Chris Potter as Nathan Summers/ Cable and more.
The revival explores new stories in the iconic 90s timeline of the original series. It hails from former showrunner Beau DeMayo, along with directors Jake Castorena, Chase Conley, and Emi Yonemura. It features music by The Newton Brothers, who are set to return in the next season.
