Marvel Acknowledges 'Potential' for More Classic Series After 'X-Men 97′ Success

Practically no one expected it, but the reality is that, as of today, ‘X-Men 97′ is the best of Marvel that we have been able to enjoy so far in 2024. The classic animated series starring the mutants has restored faith in the House of Ideas as far as audiovisual productions are concerned, and how could it be otherwise, fans are wondering if it would be possible to return other characters with this old style. Marvel’s answer is clear.

Marvel is opening the door to more classic sagas

It is amazing to see them back on screen together, I wish we could tell that whole adventure with Madame Web and figure out how exactly he did it!,” said Brad Winderbaum, head of streaming, television and animation at Marvel Studios, about a hypothetical ‘Spider-Man 98′. “Maybe one day, we as fanboys could certainly dream.”

“There is always potential, right? I don’t want to close the door on anything,” Winderbaum continues. “But I think that for now, for the foreseeable future, ‘X-Men 97′ will own the 90s and how much we bring in guest stars or tell stories from other Marvel characters from that era is TBD, but it will be seen through that lens of the X-Men.”

What seems certain is that both ‘X-Men 97′ and ‘Spider-Man 98′ are part of the same universe. “Well, I think to me, X-Men ‘97 is the window into the 90s and into that universe. We can see how much that window expands over time perhaps. But there is a value to focusing on that era because it unlocks you from any other show.”

“It is an excellent show that reminds us that Marvel has a very rich universe, not only in terms of characters, but also in terms of stories to tell,” wrote our colleagues in Spain in their review. It should be noted that Season 2 of the series is more than confirmed, and although it has no specific premiere date, it is expected that it could premiere during the next year 2025.
