Gambit wasn't always the one to kick the bucket in X-Men '97.
X-Men '97 director Jake Castorena told ComicBook.com that Gambit wasn't always supposed to die in Episode 5 of the animated series. Our Phase Zero podcast managed to grab a second with the supervising director to talk about the Disney+ juggernaut. It seems as though the fans could have been even more shocked. We had to ask about which character were going to meet their untimely end during Episode 5. Surprisingly, Gambit wasn't always in that slot.
"That's one of the things that really, genuinely, intrigued me about coming to this project. It was like, 'Oh, we're gonna take some swings, but it's all gonna be narratively-driven.' It's all gonna be pushing the narrative in a way that's gonna benefit, story and validating why we're making these changes. Not doing this stuff for the sake of shock value, but to genuinely challenge and push narrative forward.
"Any generation that grew up with the original show… That genuinely grew up watching the show. Now, there's a level of crap that we've gone through, as a people, right? And, I'm talking from 911 to COVID," the director added." So in that the generation that grew up with X-Men also grew up with understanding, 'oh, man, the world's real.' Learning about that, seeing that through everyone's individual lenses. But ultimately, we all can relate to that.
