Inside ‘X-Men ’97’: EP Brad Winderbaum Talks Shocking Deaths, Marvel Cameos and Bringing ‘Human Desire’ to the Show


'X-Men '97' executive producer talks the bold creative choices of Season 1, including a major death, other Marvel cameos, and being honest that mutants have sex.

(The show’s creator and showrunner, Beau DeMayo, was fired prior to the Season 1 premiere, but after “Remember It” first aired, he posted to X, formally Twitter, about how Pulse especially was an inspiration for the episode.) Variety spoke with executive producer Brad Winderbaum, who also oversees all of Marvel Animation, about how the team behind the series approached making so many daring creative decisions, what fans can expect in Season 2, and why the X-Men actually have sex. People knew about it, but we really crafted that piece of the marketing to bring us back into the ’90s, and the reaction was a huge sigh of relief that what the fans were seeing was the same thing that we were trying to make.
