Rogue crying in small circle and Gambit shocked in background during X-Men '97 episode 5
Summary X-Men '97 director Emi/Emmett Yonemura opens up on the return of the iconic Marvel animated show and how its first season paves the way for the future of the series. While the Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline is still working on their X-Men reboot, Marvel Studios got a chance to not only bring a beloved classic but also create a continuation of X-Men: The Animated Series in the form of X-Men '97.
Emi/Emmett Yonemura Gushes Over The Success Of X-Men '97 "I know that the whole team worked so hard on it." Close Screen Rant: I've to start with a major congratulations on the Emmy nomination for X-Men '97 for your episode. I was going 'Emmy for Emi, let's go!' Where were you when you got the news and how was your initial reaction?
Emi/Emmett Yonemura: I still get lovely messages from people online just saying how much it touched them or meant something to them and I love that. I love that because as a fan, I know how much it would have meant to me, especially when I was watching the 90s show. It feels good to be able to carry that torch and continue it, especially to a new generation of people. It's quite the honor.
Honoring X-Men: The Animated Series With X-Men '97 Well, I hope you enjoyed it! You talked about how powerful X-Men: The Animated Series was to you. Was there something from X-Men: The Animated Series that, in a way, made you feel that when you were watching, you wanted to recapture for your episodes in X-Men '97?
Emi/Emmett Yonemura: While it's wonderful to be able to work from home, to be with your family and your animals, because sometimes, when you're working in animation, you can work 12 hour days and sometimes not see your family! What was really nice then is that while I get to have that, what's hard is now I don't have the Facetime with my team. There's a board artist that I've worked with, he's brilliant, Jalin Harden, and I've worked with him for years now.
Emi/Emmett Yonemura: Oh, well, I don't know that I can say what episode specifically yet, but let's just say that what they showed at D23, I've worked on, and I'm very excited that not only is it sprinkled out there now, but I get to get people excited about who they're gonna see now. I can't elaborate too much, but I'm very excited for the characters that they showed.
Emi/Emmett Yonemura: Oh, he's lovely. I absolutely love working with him. He hasn't even been on super long, and he's already a super sweet, incredibly talented writer, so we're already having a blast over here, and I'm really excited for fans to kind of see what he helps bring to the table because it's amazing, he's a genius.
