At the moment at Marvel, nostalgia is the fashion. After the X-Men ’97 series which arrives tomorrow on Disney+, Spider-Man could also be entitled to a return to basics.
The door is at least open for a revisit of the famous Spider-Man animated TV series from 1994. Brad Winderbaum, head of the streaming, television and animation branch at Marvel, is in any case not against the idea. Especially since the Weaver could make appearances in the X-Men ’97 series, with his costume from the period.
The Spider-Man of yesteryear soon to return?
It’s a time that those under twenty have barely known. In 1994, a Spider-Man animated series debuted on television. Like the one dedicated to Batman launched two years earlier, it allowed many children to discover this superhero so dear to Stan Lee. For yours truly, she helped make the Weaver one of his favorite superheroes. For four years, she allowed us to know the entire universe of the Spider, both its good and bad sides.
While the first episode of the animated series X-Men ’97 will be broadcast tomorrow on Disney+, a wave of nostalgia is brewing at Marvel. It must be said that attempts to do something new have not been very successful for the studio lately. So, Agents of Fandom interviewed Brad Winderbaum, the man at the head of animation at Marvel. He indicated that many cameos will appear in the revisitation of the original X-Men. This could also justify the production of other similar series for very popular superheroes.
The beginnings of a web are woven
Among the most iconic characters in the Marvel universe, Spider-Man occupies the top of the podium. It therefore seems obvious that Peter Parker will make appearances in the X-Men series. Agents of Fandom also took the opportunity to ask Brad Winderbaum if a revisit to the original animated series is planned for the Weaver. The man replied: “ All I can tell you is: you never know “.
We can bet that Marvel has considered such a project, but wait and see if it is a success for X-Men ’97. Early fans will certainly be delighted with this nostalgic fan-service. But what about new generations? Especially since the screenwriter/producer very involved in the project Beau De Mayo was mysteriously fired before the broadcast of the first season. Verdict tomorrow to see what the old-style X-Men still have in their stomachs, 20 years later.
