The wait between seasons may seem interminable, but there’s something for fans of X-Men ’97 to look forward to. While Marvel Comics has continued the story of the show itself, it was recently announced that Marvel would be releasing a new romance novel featuring two fan-favorite mutants—Rogue and Gambit.
But now there’s even better news. Collider has shared that the audiobook of Rogue x Gambit (An X-Men Love Story) will be voiced by Lenore Zann and A.J. LoCascio, the voices behind X-Men ’97’s Rogue and Gambit.
Both the audiobook and the novel will be released at the same time in early 2027.
Written by Louangie Bou-Montes and Aabria Iyengar, in collaboration with Marvel, Rogue x Gambit (An X-Men Love Story) is a steamy romance set in New Orleans, where the X-Men’s Rogue and Remy LeBeau/Gambit are on a mission to save the state from vampires.
Returning to Gambit’s hometown brings up complicated feelings for the former-thief-turned-hero, but at least he’s not on his own. But Rogue has her own battles—her very touch can steal a person's life force, which makes getting close to anyone next to impossible.
The pair are friends in the book, with their yearning for each other possibly getting in the way of their mission. What will win out? Love or vampires?
Louangie Bou-Montes has a love of horror and has written several horror novels. Aabria Iyengar has been a player and dungeon master for role-playing games on podcasts and web series.
Rogue x Gambit (An X-Men Love Story) doesn’t seem to be set in the world of X-Men ’97, but that hasn’t stopped Marvel from giving the show’s fans something to enjoy. Lenore Zann has been the voice of Rogue since the 90s, and her emotional and passionate performance during X-Men ’97 Season 1 bowled over viewers.
A.J. LoCascio took over the role of Gambit from original voice actor Chris Potter in X-Men ‘97. The character was written more so as a tragic romantic hero, and the character’s tragic death solidified fans’ love for Rogue and Gambit’s romance.
Rogue x Gambit (An X-Men Love Story) is written from each character’s point of view, and the pair of voice actors will be voicing their respective characters’ chapters.
Readers, listeners, and X-Men fans can get lost in this romance when Rogue x Gambit (An X-Men Love Story) is released on February 9, 2027. And, of course, you can always relive Rogue and Gambit's biggest moments through X-Men: The Animated Series and X-Men '97, which are streaming now on Disney+.
