After a little bit of brainstorming, I am dying
Read MoreRecently, Kevin Feige confirmed that Scarlett Johansson was producing an upcoming Marvel Studios project. At the American Cinematheque celebration for Johansson’s career, Feige indicated that the actress would be producing a “non-related Black Widow project.” It’s fantastic hearing that after all the drama, there is still a working relationship between the actress and the House of Mouse.

This incredible crossover of characters and their stories all culminate here, some more than 20 years in the making. But there’s more to the character than just the actor portraying it. There’s a presence

And on a deeper look, Xavier’s voice actor Cedric Smith is the only living actor from the main cast of X-Men who is not returning for X-Men ’97 without comment. (The

What more could they possibly want? Well, between the multiversal craziness in Into The Spider-verse and the upcoming Spider-Man: No Way Home, Sony could very well be paving the way to reintroduce
Read MoreJust last Friday, Marvel Studios dropped a bombshell announcement during Disney+ Day, announcing the first modern Marvel Studios project set outside of MCU canon: X-Men ’97, an original animated series continuing the story of the classic X-Men cartoon from 1992. Fans everywhere rejoiced and all was well in the world. During the announcement, character designs were shared, demonstrating how faithful the
