Alison Sealy-Smith Returns as Storm in X-Men 97 Series

Alison Sealy-Smith is back in the voice booth as Storm for X-Men '97, marking her return to the character after an incredible 23-year gap from her original run on X-Men: The Animated Series. The reunion is deeply personal for the actress, who reflects on what it means to revisit this iconic role. That kind of continuity with the original voice cast brings major weight to the animated revival—it's not just fan service, it's actual legacy. The long journey back makes her return feel earned and meaningful rather than just a nostalgia cash-in.
