Finally, the cast of X-Men ’97 also includes Gui Agustini as Roberto “Bobby” da Costa/Sunspot ā€“ a character not featured in X-Men: The Animated Series. Anniwaa Buachie, Jeff Bennett, and Theo James are also part of the show’s wider ensemble.

It’s unclear at this stage whether Buachie, Bennett, and James will voice previously unseen characters as well, or replace X-Men: The Animated Series alumni. Open roles in X-Men ’97‘s roster currently include Sebastian Shaw, Emma Frost, and Bolivar Trask.

X-Men ā€™97 arrives on Disney+ on March 20, 2024, and will run for 10 episodes.
