Spider-Man ’97: Is the Web-Slinger Ready for a Revival?
Ever since X-Men ’97’s success, Spider-Man ’97 rumors have been spinning webs of speculation. Fans of the 1990s animated Spider-Man series are buzzing with hope. Yet, the voice behind the legendary web-slinger remains doubtful.
The Voice of Peter Parker Speaks
Christopher Daniel Barnes, iconic for voicing Peter Parker in the ’90s, shared his thoughts. In a recent social media post, Barnes addressed the rumors head-on. Disappointment lingered in his words, but his appreciation for fan support shone through.
“Hey everybody! No plans for a Spider-Man ’97 show as far as I know," he posted. Despite uncertainty, his gratitude toward fans was palpable.
Rumors and Reality
Rumors about a Spider-Man ’97 series have swirled for a while. Insiders hinted at discussions for a revival, mirroring the success of X-Men ’97. That series cleverly continued the narrative of its predecessor, even including a glimpse of Spider-Man.
Barnes has mentioned his desire for a revival. Back in May, he expressed his enthusiasm for the project, yet he remains without official notice.
Disney’s Web Plans
Though Spider-Man ’97 remains a whisper, Disney has its own plans. A new animated series, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, is swinging into view. Premiering on January 29, 2025, it promises to explore the origins of Spidey’s heroic journey. This series will delve into Parker’s high school days, offering fans a fresh glimpse of the beloved hero.
It’s a waiting game for Spider-Man ’97 enthusiasts. Meanwhile, Disney’s new series might just tide them over until the next big revival in the Marvel universe.
