New voice actors or the old cast, I wonder?
Unpopular opinion: but I would’ve preferred a new series with a take on the mythology. Aside from a couple episodes, the 90’s X-Men cartoon isn’t that good IMHO.

probably new voice actors
Returning cast members include: Cal Dodd, Lenore Zann, George Buza, Adrian Hough, Christopher Britton, Catherine Disher, Chris Potter, Alison Sealy-Smith, Alyson Court.
A new generation, and fans of the original decade-defining cartoon, will enjoy this all-new animated series that revisits the iconic era and cast of characters from 1992’s X-Men: The Animated Series. In X-Men ’97 viewers can expect a return to this classic period in X-Men history, with many of the same cast members from its original run!
Featuring the voice talents of original X-Men: The Animated Series cast members including Cal Dodd, Lenore Zann, George Buza, Alison Sealy-Smith, Chris Potter, Catherine Disher, Adrian Hough, and Christopher Britton, some cast members of X-Men ‘97 will reprise their original roles, with others voicing entirely brand-new parts.
X-Men '97 will also welcome a number of new voices to the cast, including Jennifer Hale, Anniwaa Buachie, Ray Chase, Matthew Waterson, JP Karliak, Holly Chou, Jeff Bennett, and AJ LoCascio.
The head writer and executive producer on X-Men ’97 is Beau DeMayo. Supervising director is Jake Castorena and supervising producer is Charley Feldman. Also consulting on the new series are X-Men: The Animated Series producers and showrunners Eric and Julia Lewald, plus original series director Larry Houston.
So is the animation going to look exactly the same as if they're just further seasons of the same series? Won't it look rather 90s animation though and a bit dated?
Also why didn't Marvel continue with Spider-Man the animated series? Then we could've finally seen what happened to the real Mary Jane after the whole Hydro Man clone saga and Secret Wars.
I got to be honest, that line about returning actors voicing new roles and only some of them reprising their parts makes me a bit nervous.
