Everyone’s favorite X-Men are heading out for a new season of adventures in the Disney+ series X-Men 97, and the show is off to a fantastic start!

The new Marvel series picks up where the original cartoon X-Men: The Animated Series left off back in 1997, and it brings many beloved mutants back into the fold.

On Wednesday (March 20), the show’s first two episodes premiered to perfect reviews, earning a 100% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes.

As you dive into the series, you might be wondering who is bringing iconic characters such as Cyclops, Storm, Wolverine and Magneto to life. Interestingly, many stars from the original series returned to voice the heroes again.

However, there are some new faces, including Theo James in a still-unknown role.

We rounded up the stars behind the 12 main characters of the show!

Hollywood can become a bit of a guessing game at times.

Actors have to field a list of potential roles and decide which one seems the most promising. In doing so, they might end up missing out on a chance to star in a project that becomes a serious blockbuster.

We previously rounded up 12 actors who nearly passed on what would become their most iconic roles. However, there are even more actors who did say “no thanks” to appearing in solid-gold hits.

For instance, one A-lister opted out of starring in Avatar. In the process, they missed out on a $250 million payday! A pop icon had some regrets about passing on a chance to play Catwoman. One actress was even offered a chance to play Neo, a male role, in The Matrix!

You’ll be surprised to see who was offered a chance to star in movies such as Legally Blonde and Forrest Gump and who passed on roles within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Patrick Stewart is beloved to Marvel fans for his portrayal of Professor X, the leader of the X-Men, and he’s hinting at a possible return to the character.

The 83-year-old screen legend assumed the role for the first time in 2000′s X-Men and has suited up seven additional times over the years. Most recently, he made a cameo (and seemingly died) in 2022′s Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness.

However, superhero fans know that their favorite heroes and villains rarely stay dead. That means that there is always a possibility that Professor X might return to action.

In fact, some believe that Patrick will reprise the role alongside Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool 3.

Patrick weighed in on the casting rumors and addressed the frustrations that came with his last time playing the Professor in a new interview.
