X-Men '97's Jake Castorena shares the story behind that Watcher cameo.
X-Men '97 had The Watcher bear witness to the massacre of Genosha in Episode 5. Marvel fans were surprised to see the character make a subtle cameo appearance. ComicBook.com's Phase Zero podcast had the chance to ask supervising director Jake Castorena about including The Watcher before such a devastating moment. It turns out production designer Anthony Wu is the big hero here. His painterly take on the character caught fire on social media in an episode full of things to talk about.
"I say this all the time, but it always ends up coming down to an insanely monumental team effort to get everything across and executed. And to that point, The Watcher! Shout out to Anthony Wu, our production designer. He went in there and said, 'I'm gonna go paint this' and then we said, 'Oh! We missed it the first time you put it in there!' It's like, oh cool."
"The Watcher is definitely part of OG canon because Watcher made cameos in the original show. Thanks Larry! I'm not saying it is or it isn't the watcher is from the MCU because stuff changes all the time," the director recalled."As of this point, you know, the MCU, they have their own Watcher. They have that version of The Watcher. And also, Watcher transcends time, space and relevancy. So, that's our Watcher. It's their Watcher. It's a Watcher.
