Collider reports that Carolina Ravassa was cast in *X-Men ’97* season two through a deliberately secretive audition process, only learning after securing the role that she was playing Polaris, Magneto’s daughter. The revelation matters because it highlights how the series concealed a significant family connection while embedding it in the character’s presentation.

Ravassa said she was unaware of Polaris’s identity during the audition, suggesting the production withheld key details to protect the storyline. The article also notes that Magneto was subtly referenced through Polaris’s musical theme, offering viewers an early clue to their relationship.
