Marvel’s mutants are here to stay. We were counting on the second season of to the X-Men on Disney Plus, but they have set out to keep the bar high for an already announced third season. One that they will have to face without the screenwriter and producer Beau de Mayo.
Without going into details about the end of the first season of X-Men ’97, everything that happens in the last chapter, as well as the new threat and the final revelations were part of that larger plan with which DeMayo proposed recovering the classic series to Marvel Studios. We know that he also wrote the majority of the second season, but he will not have control over aspects such as editing, music or recording of the actors. And now that?
From the start, and in order not to lose steam, next 22 In May the special will premiere on Disney Plus The Making of X-Men ’97, which is a behind-the-scenes tour of the series’ design, the creative process and how the original characters have been rescued so well after a lapse of 30 years, which is said quickly. A way to kill time until a second season that is closer than it seems.
According to statements a Entertainment WeeklyMarvel Studios vice president of production and development Brad Winderbaum assured that Season 2 of X-Men ’97 It is almost finished and in the editing process. Which is a crucial aspect because this must serve as a bridge for a third stage in which the series must fly without DeMayo’s vision and with great audience results.
“It feels like there’s a lot of pressure on all of us in the studio as we film Season 2, while also determining what our plans will be for the future. It’s exciting and we’ve learned a lot of great lessons for the franchise. [X-Men]”.
Disney has not wanted to make public the reasons for DeMayo’s dismissal that took place a week before the premiere of X-Men ’97, but the reasons have nothing to do with his job. In fact, Winderbaum has made sure to keep his ideas for Season 2 intact and maintain his vision thereafter from a third that is already in the early stages of development.
“A lot of the visual storytelling on this series comes from him and our incredible directing team, so it feels like there’s a consistent voice. The mantra is the same, the goals are the same, and the material we’re working on is the same. inspire is the same. As long as that is our guiding principle, honoring the comics and the original series, that will be the core of the creative pursuit.”
DeMayo’s original plan was to offer five seasons if X-Men ’97 It was well received. Now the baton will pass to other writers who must match a project that succeeds both as a genuine continuation of the series from the 90s and as a tribute to the legacy of the mutants both before they had their own cartoons and as everything that came after. after.
In any case, it is clear that the future of Cyclops, Rogue or Wolverine is well on its way to Disney Plus, which is something that cannot be said of all Marvel characters. And who knows? Maybe they even rethink their own limits.
