Marvel Studios' animated revival series, X-Men '97, has been making headlines after a somewhat shocking development: The firing of showrunner Beau DeMayo just days away from the show's Disney+ premiere on March 20.
We still don't know exactly what led to DeMayo being taken off the project (there are rumors doing the rounds), but X-Men '97 is now back in the news for a far more positive reason.
Following the show's three-episode premiere, critics have been sharing their first reactions to social media, and what sound like little more than a few nitpicks aside, they are glowing.
X-Men '97 will serve as a direct sequel to X-Men: The Animated Series' five-season run.
Returning voice cast members include Lenore Zann as Rogue, Cal Dodd as Wolverine, Catherine Disher as Jean Grey, George Buza as Beast, Chris Potter as Gambit, Adrian Hough as Nightcrawler, Alison Sealy-Smith as Storm, Christopher Britton as Mister Sinister, and Alyson Court as Jubilee.
The official synopsis reads: "Storm and Wolverine try to continue the X-Men. Magneto comes in and wants to step up for Charles Xavier. [Mister] Sinister comes in to try to end the X-Men once and for all."
