Summary X-Men '97 Executive Producer and Marvel Studios Head of TV, Streaming, and Animation, Brad Winderbaum teases the X-Men: The Animated Series revival. Though it's premiering nearly 30 years after the conclusion of the original, X-Men '97 picks up after the events of "Graduation Day" and explores how the close-knit team of mutants handles the change in status quo at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters in the wake of their beloved leader's death.
Kevin Feige Agreed To X-Men '97 On 2 Conditions Close Screen Rant: X-Men: The Animated Series obviously came out before the wild success of the movies and the boom of the modern superhero movie genre. How do you balance continuing the feel of a decades-old cartoon with the experience and expectations of audiences who've been exposed to a lot of X-Men and other superhero mediums before?
How X-Men '97 May Crossover With Other '90s Marvel Animated Shows X-Men: The Animated Series was greatly viewed as a standalone series, but was a bigger part of a shared universe with Marvel animated TV shows during that era, with some stories and characters crossing over.
Brad Winderbaum: No, honestly, being able to stay in the '90s was liberating. We were able to do whatever we wanted, as long as it was the '90s, which is what the whole idea of the show is. There were no limitations put on the show, except for the limitations we put on ourselves, which were mostly creative ones, because we were trying to emulate this style that was made with technology from 30 years ago, using our modern tools.
Brad Winderbaum: He's an orphan, he deals with abandonment issues, and he vowed to be a good father. That's one of the reasons — I'm going to psychoanalyze Scott for a second — why he looks up to Xavier. Unfortunately, in dramatic X-Men fashion, he finds himself with his worst nightmare coming true and forcing to deal with the ramifications.
