The Big Picture

X-Men ’97
is full of talent, including original cast reprisals and new stars like Theo James as Bastion. - Episode 7 is now streaming on Disney+, showcasing mutants facing a dangerous future in a world that fears them.
- The animated series features a talented cast including Jennifer Hale, Cal Dodd, and more, offering action-packed superhero content.
Not only have fans been treated to an incredible season of animation and storylines, but the voice cast behind Disney+’s X-Men ‘97 is crawling with talent. A number of the original cast from X-Men: The Animated Series kept the nostalgia candle burning with their role reprisals or shifts during the reboot and last week’s episode saw the arrival of a very familiar tone as it’s been revealed that The Gentlemen and The White Lotus Season 2 star Theo James is the voice of the show’s true big-bad, Bastion.
With seven episodes under the show’s belt, Bastion was introduced in the latest episode, titled “Bright Eyes,” as the master manipulator behind all the tragedy and death that has befallen the characters. Even though Magneto (Matthew Waterson) may have flipped from bad to fab, taking over as the leader of the X-Men in the show’s premiere episode, there have still been plenty of villains taunting the mutant team of heroes throughout the season. While the Adversary was busy tormenting Storm (Alison Sealy-Smith) and Mister Sinister (Christopher Britton) has been nothing but a thorn in their collective side since day one, it’s Bastion that was the true mastermind behind the soul-crushing events of the fifth episode which saw a mutant genocide carried out in Genosha.
Episode 7 of X-Men ’97 is streaming now on Disney+.
X-Men ’97
A band of mutants use their uncanny gifts to protect a world that hates and fears them; they’re challenged like never before, forced to face a dangerous and unexpected new future.
