io9 sits down with X-Men '97 director Jake Castorena to talk fastball specials and revisiting one of X-Men: The Animated Series' unsung heroes.
From the fastball special to the resurrection powers of the Five on Krakoa, the concept of mutant powers combining in unexpected ways has fascinated X-Men stories for generations. Now, X-Men ‘97 is going back to the ‘90s for a continuation of X-Men: The Animated Series, but it’s bringing with it a modern approach to action and its characters’ powers informed by that long fascination.
You can definitely bet there’s more mutant combinations and abilities—some scripted, some enhanced by the board artists or bringing the director, or even just stuff we find in polishing while we’re doing the finishing touches. That’s just part of the show. The creative process is never really done, there’s always an avenue to push and push.
