X-Men '97 Directors Tease Animated Film Possibility

The directors of the popular animated series X-Men '97 have hinted at the possibility of creating an animated film featuring the iconic superhero team. Chase Conley, Emi Yonemura, and Jake Castorena, the creative minds behind X-Men '97, expressed their enthusiasm for the idea in a recent interview. Conley mentioned that a potential animated X-Men film would be a 'slam dunk' with audiences, while Yonemura compared the project to critically-acclaimed animated films like Spider-Verse and Akira, suggesting it could reach similar levels of success.

X-Men '97, which premiered last month to critical acclaim, is already in development for its second and third seasons. Despite the firing of creator Beau DeMayo before the show's debut, the series has continued to impress viewers with its engaging storytelling and character development. The sixth episode of the series recently aired, with the season finale scheduled for May 15.

In a review of the latest episode, titled Lifedeath — Part 2, critics praised the emotional depth of the storyline, despite some pacing issues. With the show's popularity on the rise, fans can look forward to more adventures from their favorite mutant superheroes in the upcoming seasons.
