Get ready for a heady dose of nostalgia because the X-Men are returning to our screens, just as \u201990s kids will remember them.<\/p>\n

The Marvel characters earned a new generation of fans when they became the stars of a prolific Saturday morning cartoon, which was particularly popular in the United States, where it was watched by tens of millions of households.<\/p>\n

The show faithfully and cinematically adapted several famous storylines from the comic books across its five-year run, which came to an end in 1997 \u2013 only to be revived now, a quarter of a century later!<\/p>\n

Yes, to tide us over until the X-Men return to live-action, Marvel Studios is bringing us a revival of that animated series, which shares the same continuity and picks up exactly where the earlier iteration left off.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything you need to know about X-Men \u201997.<\/p>\n

Longtime fans of the series will be pleased to hear that the original cast of X-Men: The Animated Series are involved in this revival, with several reprising their earlier roles and others switching to new characters.<\/p>\n

Cal Dodd, Lenore Zann, George Buza, Alison Sealy-Smith, Adrian Hough and Christopher Britton are back as Wolverine, Rogue, Beast, Storm, Nightcrawler and Mister Sinister, respectively.<\/p>\n

The original roles of Catherine Disher, Chris Potter, Alyson Court, Lawrence Bayne, Ron Rubin have been recast, but the voice actors will still feature in the show as other supporting characters.<\/p>\n

Replacing them in the roles of Jean Grey, Gambit, Jubilee and Morph are newcomers Jennifer Hale, A J LoCascio, Holly Chou, JP Karliak. Potter will step into the Cable role previously held by Bayne.<\/p>\n

The MCU\u2019s resident impressionist Ross Marquand \u2013 who has previously stepped in for Hugo Weaving\u2019s Red Skull and James Spader\u2019s Ultron \u2013 will voice Professor X in the series (replacing Cedric Smith).<\/p>\n

The White Lotus<\/a> season 2 and The Gentlemen<\/a> star Theo James has also been cast in the series in an undisclosed role, said to be a \u201cfan favourite\u201d.<\/p>\n

What is X-Men \u201997 about?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Marvel has unveiled the episode titles for X-Men \u201997, with some fans drawing unconfirmed connections to popular stories from the comic books.<\/p>\n

For example, episodes four and six feature the term \u2018Lifedeath\u2019, which is taken from a bumper-sized X-Men issue focused on the character of Storm, which finds the character de-powered and stumbling upon an unlikely romantic interest.<\/p>\n
