X-Men ’97 It’s a big hit with fans! The series has achieved great streaming numbers and currently has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. With the kind of huge success the show is seeing, it would make sense that Marvel would want to lean into that.
Well, a new rumor coming from The Cosmic Circus, “There have been discussions about exploring a ’90s Marvel animated universe, which would most likely be explored through X-Men ’97 at this time.”
The report adds: “There is potential for further projects to be developed within this universe, the most likely candidate being a sequel series to Spider-Man: The Animated Series, but this is still very early in development as the idea has been thrown around.”
You know, it could be really great if handled properly. The 90s Spider-Man: The Animated Series showrunner John Semper Jr., recently said he’d like a revival of Spider-Man ’94. A fan reached out to Semper Jr. on social media to ask if he would be interested in resurrecting the show, and he said, “All they have to do is call me. I’m here and I would definitely consider doing it.”
The Spider-Man series ended on a huge cliffhanger as Mary Jane Watson was still missing and Spider-Verse was even in play. It would be great to see the story pick up where it left off.
Some of the other Marvel shows from the 90s include Fantastic Four, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Silver SurferAND The Avengers: United Stand. None of these were as popular as X-Men AND SpidermanAlthough.
The 90s shows had already crossed over with each other, and one of the biggest crossovers was with Spider-Man: The Animated Series, where the X-Men appear in a two-part episode. Since series crossovers were already in play, they might as well do it!
There are many different directions they could take this concept and if this is something they actually pursue, I’d be curious to know what shows they would develop and what characters they would focus on.
Do you think Marvel should build a shared universe based on the ’90s animated shows? What show would you like to see made?
