'X-Men '97' exclusive look reveals legacy costumes, Theo James casting

'X-Men '97' drops first trailer, as EW reveals an exclusive look at the team's legacy costumes and confirms new casting — including Theo James as an undisclosed 'fan favorite' character.

"Some fans said that when the show ended the last time 30 years ago, they felt like it was cut short," says Lenore Zann, who's returning to voice Rogue in the new series. Cal Dodd (Wolverine/Logan), Alison Sealy-Smith (Storm/Ororo Munroe), George Buza (Beast/Henry “Hank” McCoy), Adrian Hough (Nightcrawler/Kurt Wagner), and Chris Britton (Mister Sinister/Nathaniel Essex) are also returning to their roles they originated in X-Men: The Animated Series alongside Zann. There are many reasons behind the recastings, DeMayo explains, that range from more authentic representation (Court recognizes that voicing an Asian character like Jubilee as a Canadian actress in the '90s was a product of its time) to vocal intonations.
