Beau DeMayo’s Marvel animated series, X-Men ’97, has been a phenomenal entry as far as Marvel Cinematic Universe is concerned. A continuation of the original X-Men: The Animated Series, the show not only carries on the nostalgic theme and old aesthetic but it has one of the best storylines and character arcs that Marvel fans have ever witnessed.

From Scott Summers getting the spotlight he deserves to the X-Men finally being shown as the family they are, there are several things fans can pinpoint that the series got right. Another one of these is Cable, and X-Men ’97 treats him way better than Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool 2 ever did.

Just when we thought X-Men '97 couldn't possibly shock us again, today's middle chapter of the three-part "Tolerance Is Extinction" finale delivered one of the show's most jaw-dropping cliffhangers to date.
You can read our full recap here, but in an explosive confrontation on Asteroid M, Magneto tore the Adamantium from Wolverine's skeleton, a moment which, while likely familiar to comic book fans, promises to be a game-changer for Logan as we head into season 2.
Former X-Men '97 showrunner Beau DeMayo has taken to X (via Toonado.com) to share some insights into the episode, starting with Wolverine's and the Master of Magnetism's battle...
It even speaks to what Logan warned Jean about in Ep 5: that the past will drag you under if you’re not careful.
— Beau DeMayo (@BeauDemayo) May 8, 2024
This is the beauty and honor of Logan. He does the nasty job so the other X-Men can dream.

This X-Men ’97 article contains spoilers.
For all of the many, many logic leaps that superhero stories require, one of the most glaring occurred in X-Men. Why would the X-Men employ Wolverine, a guy with a metal skeleton, to fight Magneto, a guy who controls metal with his mind? Sure, occasional stories addressed this question, at least by having Magneto toss the ol’ Canucklehead across a room from time to time. But the Master of Magnetism rarely pressed his advantage.
Except, that is, for one story, which laid the groundwork for the ninth episode of X-Men ’97, “Tolerance is Extinction Part Two.” The episode recreates a scene from 1993’s X-Men #25, written by Fabian Nicieza and penciled by Andy Kubert, in which Magneto does the unthinkable (or the inevitable?) and tears the adamantium skeleton out of Wolverine’s body.
But more than a mere callback to one of the most shocking Marvel Comics moments ever,...

Today's episode of X-Men '97, "Tolerance Is Extinction - Part 2," opens with Charles Xavier waking up in the ruins of the X-Mansion. Magneto's Emp blast has left the world in disarray and the X-Men have only 12 hours to get him to undo the damage before it becomes permanent.
Storm saves Jubilee and Sunspot from an angry group of humans and Cyclops turns down Professor X's offer of friendship. Rogue, meanwhile, continues to mourn for Gambit and the team later splits in two: one group will confront Magneto and the other needs to defeat Bastion so they can free the Prime Sentinels from his control.

There's only two more episodes of X-Men '97 to go, and Marvel Studios has released a clip from tomorrow's penultimate season 1 chapter, "Tolerance is Extinction - Part 2."
The preview finds our mutant heroes suiting-up in new costumes for their impending battle with Bastion and his forces.
The outfits are a mixture of the team's classic looks, and the costumes they wore in the pages of The Uncanny X-Men. The clip also sees Jubilee burn Roberto DaCosta's business card, so Sunspot must have decided not to join the fight.
Former showrunner Beau DeMayo hinted at the costume change when he shared the unused pilot for Pryde of the X-Men earlier today.
DeMayo was also asked if he's ever heard any talk of adding Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat to the X-Men '97 roster.
"I haven’t, but my suspicion is Jubilee and Kitty slightly compete in terms of their age and Pov on the team.

At a time when the Marvel Cinematic Universe is awaiting the grand and proper entry of the mutants with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in Deadpool & Wolverine, its animation branch has dipped itself back into nostalgia with X-Men ‘97. The reboot series picked up the aesthetics of the original series that ran from 1992 to 1997 and has so far showcased the wide universe of mutants and their existential conflict with humanity. Once again, the likes of Magneto and Cyclops take the center stage following the absence of Charles Xavier.
From tackling threats in the Genosha attack to braving misery, gaining confidence, and re-attaining their powers, the show has expanded in-depth into the world of the mutants.

Even if you’ve never read a single X-Men comic book in your life, you probably still know some of the big stories. The Dark Phoenix Saga, in which Jean Grey gets possessed by a world-destroying entity of unspeakable power. Days of Future Past, in which an X-Man from the future comes to the present to prevent the unthinkable. Weapon X, in which Wolverine is transformed into a killing machine.
These stories get told and retold in movies, cartoon shows, and video games, and with good reason. They’re among the best superhero stories ever written. But they’re hardly the only good stories in X-Men history. The team has existed since 1963, and while they didn’t hit their stride until writer Chris Claremont took over in 1974, that still leaves decades worth of complex, complicated issues to unravel.
But it need not be so complicated. If you want to get...

X-Men: The Animated Series has a devoted fanbase, but it's not exactly considered a classic on the same level as, say, Batman: The Animated Series.
Regardless, we all had high expectations heading into X-Men '97 and the Marvel Animation series has absolutely smashed them. Perhaps the best take on these heroes we've ever seen grace the screen, Marvel Studios will have its work cut out when it comes to topping the show with its eventual live-action X-Men reboot.
In this feature, we're exploring what's worked so well in X-Men '97 and how that can translate to theaters. In other words, these are the lessons the next X-Men movie needs to learn from the revival, especially after 20th Century Fox's hit-and-miss (mostly miss) efforts.

The X-perience of a lifetime is here.
Airbnb has redesigned a private mansion in Westchester, N.Y. — the home of the X-Men in Marvel comics — into a replica of the mutant manor from “X-Men ’97.”
The mansion, decorated in the 2-D animation style of the Disney+ series, is complete with replicas of Wolverine’s and Jubilee’s bedrooms, Beast’s science lab, the telepathic Cerebro device, the Danger Room and other features.

"Magneto was right..."
Former X-Men '97 showrunner Beau DeMayo has taken to social media to share a "homework assignment" for fans that may want a better idea of what to expect from the middle chapter in the three-part season finale, which airs on Disney+ next Wednesday.
DeMayo posted the cover to 1993's Uncanny X-Men #304, which marked the 30th anniversary celebration of the iconic mutant heroes, and the third chapter in the "Fatal Attractions" storyline.
Spoilers for Tolerance is Extinction - Part 1 and (possibly) Part 2 follow.
Though a few significant events occur in this issue that could inform the episode, we'd say it will most likely draw influence from Magneto's arc. Towards the end of Tolerance is Extinction - Part 1, Dr. Valerie Cooper frees Magnus from Bastion's prison, and the Master of Magnetism flies to one of the northern magnetic pole to manipulate Earth's magnetic field, using his powers to wipe...

Magneto is one of the most beloved characters in the X-Men world, and despite him always being portrayed as the antagonist, this morally grey figure has something that draws fans in with his charisma and depth of personality.
Sir Ian McKellen as Magneto in X-Men
Michael Fassbender and Sir Ian McKellen both portrayed the character in the X-Men movies, and fans can say that they both gave outstanding performances. Now, with the arrival of the animated series X-Men ‘97, fans are getting attached to the new version of Magneto.
Why Magneto Is One Of The Greatest X-Men Characters Of All Time
Marvel’s Head of TV, Streaming, and Animation and executive producer on X-Men ‘97 Brad Winderbaum shared what he likes about Magneto in whichever iteration he’s in via Emmys:
“One of my favorite things about Magneto as a character is that he is ideologically driven. He is not a liar.

Zack Snyder’s Dcu tenure can be best described as an ambitious effort cut short due to the very divisive reception of his films. While Snyder believed he was pushing the boundaries with the storytelling and doing something new with the characters, it did not satisfy fans. Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice did little to excite core DC fans.

X-Men '97's three-part "Tolerance Is Extinction" finale kicked off today and it saw the team set out to stop Bastion's plan to destroy mutantkind.
Cable explains that, in his timeline, Bastion has created a world where the few remaining mutants are subservient to his technologically advanced humans (who have all been infected by a new strain of the techno-organic virus that led to Nathan being sent into the future as a baby).
With Rogue still comatose, the X-Men see if they can learn more about Bastion; it turns out that, after his father was infected by future technology, Bastion was conceived and mutated into a being comprised of Nimrod, the Sentinel Master Mold, and a human.
The villain has turned countless humans into Prime Sentinels and, back at his base,...

This Wednesday's episode of X-Men '97 kicks off a three-part finale titled "Tolerance Is Extinction." With Bastion determined to put an end to mutantkind and an army of "Prime Sentinels" on hand, the heroes look set to face their toughest challenge yet.
We have a fairly long list of unanswered questions heading into these remaining instalments, including what role Magneto will play in proceedings now he's in Bastion's grip and whether time travel will be used to ultimately undo the genocide which took place on Genosha (and led to the death of Gambit).
Thanks to Toonado.com, we have a new clip from episode 8 which sees Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Cable on the run from an army of Sentinels and bonding as only these mutants can.

Wolverine & Jean are among the most notable comic “couples” or rather, Wolverine is a part of a love triangle that involves Jean & Cyclops. Wolverine and Jean Grey’s relationship is often portrayed as complicated or tumultuous in certain storylines due to a plethora of factors.
Jean and Cyclops have a longstanding romantic relationship, but it’s kind of messy. Jean and Wolverine often flirt and in some storylines, they even get together and have kids. Wolverine’s tumultuous past, his violent nature, and his struggles with inner demons can make it difficult for him to maintain stable relationships. Jean, being a telepath, is aware of Wolverine’s thoughts and emotions, which can further complicate their dynamic.
This relationship was once again continued in ‘X-Men ’97’, the continuation of the original animated series. Especially when Jean discovered that Cyclops connected with Madelyne Prior, and she too, started looking at Wolverine in a different light.

This X-Men ’97 article contains spoilers.
Like its predecessor X-Men: The Animated Series, X-Men ’97 remixes classic stories from X-Men comics to make them more palatable for television. But X-Men ’97 is also very much a continuation of Tas, returning to stories and themes that first aired almost three decades ago.
So it’s no surprise that season one showrunner Beau De Mayo has suggested that fans go back to a few classic Tas episodes ahead of the three-part X-Men ’97 finale, titled “Tolerance Is Extinction.” De Mayo points to the following story arcs specifically: “One Man’s Worth Parts 1 and 2,” “Sanctuary Parts 1 and 2,” “Descent,” and “The Final Decision.”
Beau DeMayo says the following episodes of the original X-Men animated series are worth rewatching to prepare for the 3-part finale 'Tolerance Is Extinction'. #XMen97

The X-Men have finally come back home to the MCU after the acquisition of Fox Studios by Disney. The characters will be making their official MCU debut with the upcoming film Deadpool & Wolverine, which sees Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and a whole bunch of other actors crossing over to the franchise.
The MCU has also reportedly begun work on making an X-Men film. An industry insider recently reported that the studio was looking for writers who could balance comedy and drama. The report also mentioned that the new films would focus more on the female mutants. While previous female-centered Marvel films have not worked for the franchise, it might just be the best foot forward with the X-Men.

‘X-Men ’97’ was a big hit for Marvel Studios. Since its first episode, it’s been getting high ratings, and fans love its story, staying true to the original, and the updates to characters.
But there have been some controversies, like when the creators revealed Morph as non-binary and hinted at a romance between Morph and Wolverine in episode 3.
During Madelyne Prior’s nightmare rampage, one standout moment involved Morph. In his dream, he catches Wolverine in the shower. Instead of looking away or being surprised, he jokes with Wolverine, saying, “Need a hand with those hard-to-reach places?” The scene takes a dark turn when Wolverine responds, “Always with the jokes, Morph? As if I don’t know?”
After Episode 7 aired, the hints of something more between Morph and Wolverine became even more apparent. In this episode, when the team confronts Bolivar Trask in Madripoor, fans noticed Wolverine and Morph sticking close together.

‘X-Men ’97’ turned out to be a surprise hit for the Marvel Studios. Ever since the first episode was released the show had consistently high ratings, and fans praised it for its story, authenticity, and faithfulness to the original show and numerous improvements made to characters.
Having said that, the show wasn’t without controversies, especially when the creators of the show went public that Morph was non-binary, and in episode 3, the romance between Morph & Wolverine was teased.
As Madelyne Prior unleashed horrific nightmares upon the team, one of the most interesting sequences was the one that belonged to Morph. In his vision he can see Wolverine in the shower, but instead of averting his gaze or acting shocked he continues to take in the view and jokes with Wolverine saying: “Needs some help with those hard to reach place?”

Fox’s X-Men movies may have brought some of the most fan-favorite mutants to live-action, but they have struggled as far as fan reactions go. Often criticized for one thing or the other, particularly over poorly written characters to time inconsistencies, fans and critics have found several reasons to remain unsatisfied.
Hugh Jackman as Logan / Wolverine in X-Men: The Last Stand
Undoubtedly, the movies’ greatest gift to fans has been casting Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. While his portrayal of the iconic character has left many captivated, he has often overshadowed other X-Men characters. And one Avengers: Endgame writer has a bone to pick with Fox movies for stealing one X-Men’s spotlight and handing it over to Wolverine.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has grown increasingly large over the last 15 years, with countless storylines and characters weaving in and out of the franchise. To the casual Marvel fan, this might be a little overwhelming, but Deadpool and Wolverine director Shawn Levy doesn’t think that will be a problem with his movie.
In addition to drawing upon 15 years of MCU history, it’s expected that Deadpool and Wolverine will also touch upon 20th Century Fox’s Marvel movies. Levy told the Associated Press that he didn’t want fans to have to do any homework going in.
“I was a good student in school. I’ll do my homework as an adult. But I am definitely not looking to do homework when I go to the movies,” Levy said. “I very much made this film with certainly a healthy respect and gratitude towards the rabid fan base that has...

This article contains spoilers for "X-Men '97."
Episode 5 of "X-Men '97" — "Remember It" — may very well go down as the most shocking TV moment of 2024. Adapting the dark "X-Men" comic storyline "E Is For Extinction" by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely, a giant Sentinel razed the new mutant homeland of Genosha, killing thousands, if not millions.
Episode 6, "Lifedeath Part 2," took a break focusing instead on the absent Storm and Professor X, but episode 7, "Bright Eyes," explores the fallout of Genosha. It picks up about a week later when the X-Men are hosting a rainy funeral for Gambit. They go back to Genosha to continue searching for more survivors. They find one: Emma Frost, White Queen of the Hellfire Club.
Emma, who was part of Genosha's short-lived ruling council, is a telepath. During the attack, she unlocked a second mutation to turn her skin diamond hard, so she survived being crushed under rubble.

Two weeks ago, "X-Men '97" delivered quite a heartbreaking development with the death of Gambit during a shocking Sentinel attack on the peaceful mutant colony of Genosha. The Ragin' Cajun went out in a blaze of tragic glory but left Rogue and the rest of the X-Men team shattered.
This week, the episode "Bright Eyes" begins with Gambit's funeral. Nightcrawler gives a lovely eulogy with a combination of just the right amount of card-playing puns and a wonderful tribute to Gambit's character, both as a man and a superhero. Though Rogue isn't in attendance, dealing with her grief in a vengeful way across the country, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Wolverine, Beast, Jubilee, Sunspot, and more are all there to lay Gambit to rest.
Also among the crowd are a few faces that you're meant to notice, but you might not remember them if you haven't refreshed yourself on "X-Men: The Animated Series" in a while.

The big trailer drop this week finally showed some of Hugh Jackman in action as Logan in the much-anticipated superhero film of the summer, Deadpool & Wolverine. Fans marveled (pun intended) at finally seeing Jackman don the iconic yellow suit from the comics that has been put aside for every movie adaptation in favor of black leather. Eagle-eyed viewers also caught some surprising appearances of additional characters from the X-Men film universe in a quick shot from the trailer. This just adds fuel to the fire of fan speculation on who might make cameos in the fourth-wall-breaking sequel.
As Marvel Studios continues to explore multiverses and even work in some actors from past roles, such as Kelsey Grammer’s return as Beast in a post-credits scene from The Marvels, fans are curious if any of the fan favorites of established franchises are also willing to return. Deadline reports that Famke Janssen recently addressed this question.

Famke Janssen is not sure what Marvel has planned for the X-Men saga but doesn’t shut the door on the idea of reprising her role of Jean Grey / Phoenix.
Janssen originated the X-Men role in the 2000 film and would go on to play the mutant in 2003’s X2 and 2006’s X-Men: The Last Stand. The actress also made cameos in 2013’s The Wolverine and 2014’s X-Men: Days of Future Past.
“I don’t know. I mean, I didn’t expect to come back after dying as Jean Grey,” Janssen told ComicBook in an interview. “I came back as the Phoenix [The Last Stand], and I came back in flashback scenes in The Wolverine, and then in Days of Future Past.”
Janssen noted that reprising the role following the initial films “were all surprises that I never anticipated” and didn’t put past appearing in this year’s Deadpool & Wolverine,...

Deadpool 3 is expected to be among the most highly anticipated films of the year, and it seems that each new piece of information released raises the level of excitement. Well, recently, fans have been buzzing with speculation about one scene, in particular, from the trailer, which could have a connection to Brett Ratner’s X-Men: The Last Stand (2006).
Fans may recall that after unleashing the Phoenix and destroying everything in her path, Jean Grey (Famke Janssen) was killed by Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) in the 2006 flick. For a brief while, Jean regained control and begged Wolverine to use his claws to kill her. Wolverine was, thus, plagued by guilt for killing the woman he loved.

Before Ryan Reynolds sliced his way into box office lore with Deadpool’s razor-sharp wit, another beloved actor was only a claw’s length away from making R-rated comic book history. Yes, Hugh Jackman and director James Mangold intended to immortalize The Wolverine as the first mature audience-oriented spectacle in the X-Men universe.
Consider this: it is 2013, and the cinematic world is enthralled by PG-13, effects-laden marvels like The Avengers, whose paint is still drying on its vibrant canvas.
Even though Fox steered the ship towards safer waters, could anyone have predicted how Mangold’s unrealized vision would paradoxically give The Wolverine a cutting edge that allowed it to cut through the din of its competitors?

The latest episode of X-Men ’97 saw the return of Professor X, who was taken to the Shi’ar empire after he was believed to be killed by Henry Gyrich in the old series. The new X-Men ’97 introduces one aspect of Professor X’s life that neither X-Men: The Animated Show nor the Marvel films ever explored. Lifedeath – Part 2, episode 6 of the series, shows that the leader of the mutants is s*xually active.
X-Men ’97 did one thing with Professor X’s character that other MCU shows never did
The Cbm movies and TV series touched upon the topic of superhero s*x only recently, leaving kids of the previous generations to believe that all superheroes were celibates. However, new positive changes came along as the genre started targeting a more mature audience.

The sixth and latest episode of "X-Men '97" was titled "Lifedeath – Part 2." Sure enough, it continued the story of Storm and Forge (adapting a classic "X-Men" comic), culminating with Ororo regaining her mutant gifts as she pounds her fears (including claustrophobia and a demon owl) into submission. Gaining her Og Dave Cockrum-designed costume and white locks to show for it, Storm (once more Mistress of the Elements) called down a lightning strike seen from orbit and soared like Superman. But that wasn't all.
Like the previous "Lifedeath," this episode was bifurcated with an unrelated story — a story set a whole galaxy away. The X-Men have told the world that their founder and mentor Charles "Professor X" Xavier is dead, assassinated by anti-mutant extremist Henry Gyrich. That's why Magneto, Charles' heir, has taken his best frenemy's place as team leader (and rekindled his...

We’re halfway through ‘X-Men ’97’ and fans are already hailing it as one of the best things to come out of Marvel Studios in a while. Last week’s episode 5 packed quite an emotional punch, taking viewers on a wild ride.
In the episode, Genosha came under attack, Magneto and Gambit made sacrifices to stop the Sentinels and destroy Mister Mold, and the relationship between Cyclops and Jean is deteriorating. Jean discovers Cyclops has been communicating telepathically with Madelyne, while she finds herself drawn to Wolverine. This is just a brief overview of the events from last week.
Before episode 6 aired, there was hope among fans that maybe Gambit and Magneto could be brought back to life. However, their deaths were confirmed by a subtle change in the opening credits.

The pathos of characters having to deal with interpersonal conflicts while their existence is at stake is the kind of drama that defines a good X-Men story. It seems that X-Men ’97 understands this well, having introduced one of its most contentious love triangles back into the story, right as Genosha was blown up in a terrorist plot against the mutant population.
Jean Grey and Logan Howlett in X-Men ’97
X-Men ’97 created a lot of drama in Scott Summers’ life, exposing the mother of his child as a clone, while the actual Jean Grey might have been missing in action since the original Animated Series. However, with Jean returned, things took a a turn for the worse when Jean, in a moment of weakness, ended up kissing Wolverine, who was there to comfort her.

This article contains spoilers for X-Men ’97
It is safe to say that Cyclops has personally been through a lot in X-Men ’97 so far. From losing the leadership of the X-Men to none other than Magneto, finding out that the mother of his child was the plot of a clon-swap conspiracy, and loading his child the day after he is born to the future, Scott Summers is just not having a good time at all.

It must also be noted, that following the attack on Genosha, Scott Summers witnessed one of the most harrowing attacks on a mutant population, but also lost the mother of his child. That, only rounds up what the characters know has happened to him, completely in the dark about the fact that Jean Grey, the actual Jean Grey, kissed Logan and decided to hide it.

The Teen Titans show is one of the most iconic animated offerings from DC. It is in the same league as the studio’s other animated shows such as Batman: The Animated Series and Justice League. Animator Glen Murakami, who also worked on the aforementioned shows, worked on Teen Titans as a showrunner and brought the comic book team to the forefront.
While the Teen Titans began in the ‘60s, the comic book did not gain fame until its ‘80s revival in the form of Marv Wolfman and George Pérez’s The New Teen Titans, by which the show was inspired. Murakami revealed in an interview that DC wanted a do-over from the comics in the show as they were primarily a response to Marvel’s X-Men.

All hell broke loose in the fifth episode of “X-Men ’97,” “Remember It.” The shocking events are so traumatic, in fact, that fired showrunner Beau DeMayo momentarily broke his silence about the show to explain why it was important to reflect that “the X-Men have now been hit hard by the realities of an adult and unsafe world.”
It was against this unpredictable backdrop that The Newton Brothers Andy Grush and Taylor Stewart composed a score (out May 24) for the reboot that both honored and transcended the spirit of “X-Men: The Animated Series.”
“We started tackling the music in a sort of multi-faceted way at first [before seeing full episodes] because we didn’t really want to pretend that we knew exactly what the show should be because there are so many aspects,” Grush told IndieWire. “So, for us, it was about trying to give proper credit to various genres and ideas, and seeing...

Contains spoilers for Episode 5 of the new series of X-Men '97.
Whether it’s the iconic killer intro, the heartfelt central themes of acceptance, or the fun mutant melodrama, the animated exploits of Charles Xavier and his ragtag team of X-Men have long held a special place in ‘90s kids’ hearts. The beloved X-Men: The Animated Series proved a firm staple in the Saturday morning cartoon line-up – for many, it was the seminal superhero series. While the show would often strike a fine balance between epic apocalyptic battles and quieter, more character-driven moments (were you Team Cyclops or Team Wolverine?), no matter the struggle, the X-Men would always show up to save the day.
Not anymore. Acclaimed revival series X-Men ‘97 kicked off with a fun, fully nostalgia-fuelled run of episodes transporting viewers back to the golden era of mutants – until, with Episode 5, ‘Remember It’, showrunner Beau DeMayo pulled...

Deadpool & Wolverine is set to be the sensation that defines the fate of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The apocalyptic dread that engulfed the superhero universe and its real-life counterpart will soon stand witness to a cinematic phenomenon that will not only appreciate the true extent of the multiverse but exploit all of its strengths and quirks to deliver a box-office sensation.

However, fear begins to set in when one realizes the pitfalls of such a promising feature film from the studio that brought us Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Thor: Love and Thunder, and Secret Invasion. After the post-Endgame spell almost drove Marvel into the ground, Deadpool & Wolverine stands at the murky border separating hope and despair for a fandom that once, quite literally, hero-worshipped the comic-book-movie industry before it turned into one of the most divisive and unreliable creators of all time.

The original Fox’s ‘X-Men’ film series cast is the cast that we will associate with some of the most popular Marvel characters in years to come. If you think about Storm it’s impossible not to conjure up images of Halle Berry, or associate Patric Stewart with Charles Xavier.
Famke Janssen, the actress behind the iconic Jean Grey portrayal is still the best live-action Jean Grey, despite Sophia Turner also portraying the character in the latter installments.
With ‘Deadpool 3’ release looming on the horizon and all the various rumors associated with former X-Men characters making a big comeback for Deadpool’s first foray into the MCU, it’s impossible not to wonder whether Famke will make an appearance as Jean Grey as well.
The actress herself commented on the rumors in her interview with Screengeek.

The original cast of Fox’s ‘X-Men’ films will forever be linked with some of Marvel’s most beloved characters. When you think of Storm, Halle Berry immediately comes to mind, and Patrick Stewart is synonymous with Charles Xavier. Famke Janssen, who played the iconic Jean Grey, remains the definitive live-action portrayal, even though Sophie Turner took on the role in later films.
As the release of ‘Deadpool 3’ approaches and rumors swirl about former X-Men characters returning for Deadpool’s MCU debut, fans can’t help but speculate if Famke will reprise her role as Jean Grey too.
