Producer Larry Houston has confirmed that preliminary discussions have taken place about a revival of the classic “X-Men: The Animated Series” for the Disney+ streaming service.
Appearing at a virtual Wizard World panel on Friday, Houston says the reboot has been formally pitched and is leaving it up to Disney to put in the series order. He says the pitch wss to essentially “continue where we left off” and so the same art style and voice cast would be required.
Houston says: “We’ve had talks, but that’s about it. We’ve made conversation and it’s up to them to make the decision, but we’ve let them know that we’re all available for whatever they want to do in the future.”
Though he considers himself semi-retired, Houston says this is one of very few projects that would have him happily returning to work be it for a one-off special or a five-part limited series: “Whatever they wanted to do if we had all the original team. That’s what I would come out of retirement for.”
Many of the cast including George Buza, Chris Britton and Cal Dodd are also keen to return.
