When it comes to X-Men ‘97, every episode feels like a movie. The show’s hand-drawn animation, epic action, and campy melodrama all combine to make each 30-minute installment feel as epic as your favorite Avengers movie. But imagine what the team between X-Men ‘97 could do with an animated X-Men movie...

 

That’s the question Inverse posed to X-Men ‘97 directors Chase Conley, Emi Yonemura, and Jake Castorena in a recent interview, and the answers have us hoping that Disney seriously considers the idea.

 

“To kind of do what Spider-Verse and the recent animated Turtles movie did.”


“First off, it would be a slam dunk,” ” Conley tells Inverse. “I think that would absolutely be something the audience would want to see, and we would want to be a part of.”

 

Conley adds that while the episodic format established by the original X-Men: The Animated series allows them to power through “a lot of adapted comic runs,” a movie-sized budget would give the team a chance to “do as much as we can and spend a lot of time massaging each shot.”

 

“With animation, the more time and money we get, the better it will be,” he says. “That's just a fact.”

X-Men ‘97 threw viewers for a loop with its fifth episode, culminating in the deaths of countless mutants on Genosha, including the fan-favorite Gambit. But who was responsible for unleashing the giant Master Mold? Episode 6 suggested it was Mister Sinister, but in the wake of Episode 7, we know a true mastermind villain is pulling even Sinister’s strings.

Spoiler

Meet Bastion.

 

Bastion was created by writer Scott Lobdell and artist Pasqual Ferry and debuted in 1996’s X-Men #52. He is the leader of Operation: Zero Tolerance, a secretive government program designed to neutralize the threat of mutants.

 

While Bastion originally believes himself to be a government agent named Sebastion Gilberti, he eventually discovers the truth about himself. He’s actually a fusion of a Master Mold and the futuristic Sentinel Nimrod, becoming something wholly new after passing through the mystical portal known as the Siege Perilous. His powers include incredible strength, energy projection, flight and the ability to control other Sentinels.
