Marking the 30th anniversary of one of the most landmark and controversial episodes in the history of Marvel's X-Men, the publisher entered into an agreement to bring the mutant heroes back to television, this time with the auspices of some Japanese anime producers.
Marvel Anime: X-Men was one of four series in the package, the others featuring a Wolverine solo series, plus Blade and the return of Iron Man. It'd been a year since the last American-produced X-series had aired (Wolverine & The X-Men), and the producers were able to bring in three actors from that last series. Jennifer Hale (Jean Grey/Phoenix/Dark Phoenix), Steve Blum (Wolverine), & Fred Tatasciore (Beast) had previously worked on Wolverine & The X-Men). Curiously, despite bringing Blum in, the same producers cast Milo Ventimiglia (Heroes; currently on This is Us) in the role for the other series.
The cast also included current The Flash co-star Danielle Nicolet.
