X-Men ’97
Speaking with Comic Book, Jean Grey voice actress Jennifer Hale answered “buckle up” when asked about the upcoming second season of X-Men ’97.
All I will say is, buckle up. I can tease nothing… nothing. I’m making a practice not to say a word about anything. I don’t even mention I’m in something until I see the producers and the creators say something online. I just don’t do it. I don’t risk it. I don’t want to be the one who screws the thing up.
