During a virtual Wizard World panel last Friday, X-Men: The Animated Series producer and director Larry Houston addressed the lingering rumors of there being a possible decades-later revival of the series on the horizon. "We've had talks [with Disney], but that's about it," Houston shared. "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." Houston, who is retired at the moment, added that he would love to return "if we could do a special, a one-off episode, or a five-part episode. Whatever they wanted to do if we had all the original team. That's what I would come out of retirement for." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2017/11/04/x-men-the-animated-series-ruled-nuff-said"] X-Men: The Animated Series is arguably the most beloved version of the X-Men on TV. As a FOX Kids animated series, it had a successful five-season run from '92 to '97 and featured a core team similar to that of the '90s comics: Wolverine, Gambit, Beast, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm, Rogue, and Jubilee, in the uniforms that fan favorite artist Jim Lee created for them. Last year, Marvel was sued over the show's theme song, for copyright infringement due to the song’s similarities to the theme of a Hungarian cop show from the ‘80s called Linda. All five seasons of X-Men: The Animated Series can be viewed on Disney+.
