“That has always been something we know was on Kevin Feige’s mind, do we make this part of the MCU? Do we not make this part of the MCU? It’s actually gone back and forth quite a few times, and I think we did land in a smart place because [X-Men: The Animated Series] was its own thing, and I think that to continue it we needed to be our own thing.”
Jake Castorena, the head director of the series, shared his opinion of how it’s better to keep things separated as of now.He said,
“We’re getting the X-Men in this format and we’re doing it justice not just by ourselves, but also other fans as well, and we’re starting to get a resurgence of the X-Men in film again. I love that. And I think it’s great that we can have different things, let them be different.”
Nevertheless, the show has performed brilliantly as it has a score of 98% on the Tomatometer onRotten Tomatoes, making it one of the best animated shows.
