Captain America\u2019s appearance in X-Men \u201997 Episode 7 wasn\u2019t entirely unexpected, given the mid-season trailer\u2019s subtle hint with Steve Rogers\u2019 shield. Given the interconnected nature of the Marvel animated universe in the \u201990s, where shows like X-Men: The Animated Series shared continuity with Spider-Man, Hulk, Fantastic Four, and more, Cap\u2019s cameo feels right at home in this legacy revival.<\/p>\n
In Episode 7, following Gambit\u2019s death, Rogue embarks on a quest to hunt down Henry Gyrich, the politician responsible for the Sentinel attack on Genosha. Her journey leads her to encounter Captain America at a military base. Steve Rogers, sympathetic to Rogue\u2019s cause and haunted by the Genosha massacre, informs her that he and his \u201cteam\u201d have tracked Gyrich to Mexico but are awaiting official clearance. However, Rogue, fueled by anger, wants to take action immediately. Cap, acknowledging the limitations of his uniform\u2019s involvement in an unsanctioned mission, tells her his \u201chands are tied.\u201d In a fit of fury, Rogue takes Cap\u2019s shield and flings it away, remarking that if his hands are tied, he won\u2019t need it.<\/p>\n
The familiar voice behind Captain America in this appearance is none other than Josh Keaton. Known as Marvel\u2019s go-to voice actor for Chris Evans\u2019 stand-in, Keaton previously portrayed a Steve Rogers variant without powers in What If\u2026?. However, this marks his first time voicing the classic super-soldier version of the character. Notably, this isn\u2019t Keaton\u2019s only recent surprise cameo in a superhero animated show, having also portrayed Spider-Man Agent Spider on Invincible.<\/p>\n
With director Jake Castrorena hinting at a \u201cMarvel war\u201d on the horizon and General Thaddeus Ross dropping a mention of the Hulk, it\u2019s plausible that Cap and the Avengers could play a more significant role as X-Men \u201997 progresses, airing Wednesdays on Disney Plus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
