The Big Picture It's only been a week since X-Men '97 returned to our screens and already the series is a smash hit, becoming Disney+'s most watched animated series premiere. The third episode of Season 1 debuted today, titled "Fire Made Flesh," which focused on the surprise reveal of a second Jean Grey .
Release Date March 20, 2024 Cast Jennifer Hale , Cal Dodd , Chris Potter , Catherine Disher , Adrian Hough , Ray Chase , Lenore Zann Seasons 2 Number of Episodes 10 Streaming Service Disney+ Franchise X-Men Jennifer Hale & Ray Chase on Taking Up the Mantle of Jean Grey and Scott Summers COLLIDER: I am so excited to talk about this episode. The show's honestly been so great. I watched it last week, and I was like, “Oh my god, I need the entire season right now at this very moment.
How Has Jean and Scott's Relationship Changed After 'X-Men '97' Episode 3? Jumping into the third episode, “Fire Made Flesh,” what an amazing episode, especially for Jean and for Scott. Can you talk a little bit about, moving forward for both Jean and Scott, how their perspectives on their relationship have shifted and how the dynamic has shifted?
HALE: 100%. Even though they're clones, even though there's all sorts of stuff going on, they're distinct identities, and they're each fighting for their own lives. They share memories but their spark, their essential selves, are distinct. I have Meredith , our voice director, to thank for that. Meredith Layne is extraordinary. She's our guidepost.
What Headspace Is Scott Summers in After Losing Nathan? I have 1,000 more questions about that, but I'm gonna stay focused. Ray, Scott was really affected by having to send Nathan into the future to protect him, especially given his own relationship with his father. How is that going to affect his character in the coming episodes? What kind of headspace is he in now?
What Is the Process of Working on and Developing 'X-Men '97'? Jennifer, one thing I really enjoyed in just these handful of episodes is Jean's relationship with Storm. That friendship that we see is so touching and so beautiful. Did you work with Alison Sealy-Smith directly on this? I know with voice actors, typically, there are instances where you're not even in the same room together.
HALE: Yeah, Adrian and I both live north of the border, and it's funny, on the same island, actually, off the west coast of Canada. CHASE: I think you'd be hard-pressed to find someone to watch the show and know about X-Men and not have a favorite character, or someone who you identify with. There are so many wonderful characters who have such interesting, intriguing backstories that are just so relatable, maybe more so than your run-of-the-mill superheroes. It's such a diverse cast.
CHASE: For me, absolutely. It's maybe not excitement, it’s more just curiosity. There's something that we've been keeping from you guys for a while that I am just like, “Whoa what is the reaction gonna be?” It's gonna be wild. I was moved when I got to that part in the script, and went, “Oh!” It's pretty crazy.CHASE: Yeah, absolutely. I won’t even say the episode. It’s coming.
CHASE: Yeah, I watched a lot of anime and a lot of funny shows. I watched The Simpsons, The Critic, South Park, everything that I could. Those were my references. It's not the sexiest answer, but it is the truth.
