WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN CARTOON

[Mark Caringer]

Nolan North is going from one mutant to another.

North, who is playing Raphael in the Friday-opening TMNT, is providing the voice of Cyclops in the upcoming Wolverine and the X-Men animated series.

Voice recording of the series recently began. Twenty-six episodes are being produced, although the show hasn't found a network home yet.

North is familiar with the Marvel world of animation, having provided the voice of Hank Pym/Giant-Man in both Ultimate Avengers movies.

In other Wolverine and the X-Men news:

* Boyd Kirkland has joined the series as supervising director and co-producer. Kirkland's many credits include Batman: The Animated Series, Batman and Mr. Freeze: Sub-Zero and X-Men: Evolution.

* Liam O'Brien is providing the voices of Nightcrawler and Angel. He is perhaps best known as Gaara of the Desert on Naruto.

* Look for more Marvel animation news this week
