According to Comicbook, in the alternative ending of the script, Forge, voiced by Gil Birmingham (Yellowstone, Twilight), lands amidst the wreckage of the X-Men Mansion. Hearing a phasing sound, he fires in that direction and ultimately encounters Kittie, her pet dragon Lockheed, and Colossus. The scene then transitions to show the three of them joining Forge on his mission to locate the missing X-Men, who are scattered throughout time.

According to mxdwn, The upcoming season will surely feature the return of talented voice actors which includes Ray Chase (Genshin Impact, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure), Jennifer Hale (Totally Spies, Mass Effect), and Cal Dodd (Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, Ace Lightning), reprising their iconic roles.

The burning question still remains that if Shadowcat and Colosssus are still in the roster for season two. According to mxdwn, production on the future season is currently on hiatus due to a change in showrunner from DeMayo to Matthew Chauncey (Ms.Marvel, What If?…). While fans await further news on the start of season two’s production and release date, the entire first season of X-Men ’97 is available to stream on Disney+.
