X-Men '97 S2: The Mutant That Almost Broke the Story | Collider BTS

The original creative team behind X-Men '97 explains why the animated revival has connected with longtime fans while pushing the franchise forward for a new generation. Executive producers Eric Lewald, Julia Lewald, and Larry Houston reflect on how the original 1990s series shaped Marvel animation, what today's creators can do with modern technology, and why staying true to the characters has always mattered more than spectacle. The trio discusses the expanded scope of Season 2, how the revival can finally explore fan-favorite mutants who barely appeared in the original series, and why emotional storytelling has always been the heart of X-Men. They also share behind-the-scenes stories about Morph's unexpected return, Jean Grey's original pregnancy storyline that nearly happened decades ago, and how fan reactions have helped shape the franchise over the years. If you're a longtime fan of Marvel Animation, this exclusive X-Men '97 interview is packed with stories from the creators who helped define the animated X-Men universe and are now helping guide its future.
