However, Barnes added that he “currently have no connection” to the X-Men ’97 show, and he has not been “contacted by anyone regarding this possibility.” However, he pleads with the Marvel fans and talks about the idea that will eventually take place, and everything will go “weirdly silent on the issue.”

“Unfortunately I haven’t been contacted by anyone regarding this possibility and I also currently have no connection to the “X-Men 97” show . But hey let’s remember Stan Lee and remain “True Believers”! Maybe I’ll get that magical phone call, have to sign an NDA, and then go weirdly silent on the issue! Here’s hoping!!!”

Nevertheless, fans are excited as they see their childhood returning with the cameo of Spider-Man from the 1998 series, making them rush to social media to support the potential idea of a soft rebooted show of their favorite superhero.
