Voice acting legend Jennifer Hale had a lot of fun voicing Jean Gray and her clone in X-Men ’97’s latest episode.Following the melodramatic reveal of “Fire Made Flesh” that X-Men Jean was in fact a clone — better known to comic readers as Madelyne Pryor/Goblin Queen — created by Mister Sinister, Hale and Cyclops co-star Ray Chase spoke with Collider about the hurdles this twist creates for the team and bringing this dual performance to life. For Hale, this meant altering her voice, demeanor, and even headspace between Jean and Madelyne both as herself and under Sinister’s power, stating, “Even though they’re clones, even though there’s all sorts of stuff going on, they’re distinct identities, and they’re each fighting for their own lives. They share memories but their spark, their essential selves, are distinct.”Though “Fire Made Flesh” saw Jean help Madelyne escape Sinister’s control, the episode ended on a somber note, with Madelyn leaving the team and giving her son Nathan — whom Sinister infected with a virus — to Bishop so he can locate a cure in the future, much to Scott’s anguish. In terms of viewership, X-Men ’97 continues to be a ratings hit for Disney+, with the premiere episodes earning 4 million views within their first five days on streaming. Likewise, the show received widespread acclaim from critics and, on top of bringing back original X-Men: The Animated Series actors, hired the show’s director Larry Houston to make an updated version of X-Men’s iconic intro sequence.
