X-Men 97 Interview:

On Seasons and Scheduling

Castorena remains cautious about providing specific updates on upcoming seasons of X-Men ’07. “Your guess is as good as mine,” he said, emphasizing the challenges of animation timelines. “Changes happen, show changes happen, dockets move and change,” he explained, acknowledging the complexities of managing multiple projects. Although he couldn’t confirm a precise release date for seasons two or three, Castorena assures fans that the team is hard at work, with season two already in progress.

Creative Intros and Narrative Nuances

The show’s approach to opening credits, which features subtle variations in each episode, has intrigued viewers. Castorena credits Larry Houston’s creative vision for the unique intros, which are tailored to each episode. For instance, Magneto’s card appears in the second episode, reflecting his leadership role. Castorena urges fans to pay close attention to the upcoming opening credits, especially after episode five.
