Rumors of a revival of the classic animated series Spider-Man ā97 have been circulating since the success of the Disney+ show X-Men ā97. The original voice actor for Peter Parker, Christopher Daniel Barnes, has spoken up about the situation, too.
Barnes posted on X (formerly Twitter) to talk about the love the show had received from longtime fans. Unfortunately, Barnes confirmed that he had not heard of any plans for a revival. He said he was grateful for his fan support regarding the potential project. Barnes has previously indicated his interest in a revival of the 1990s series, even saying in May that he would be interested in reprising his role. However, he has not been contacted about that project.

X-Men 97 has been very successful, and it would make many think that other successful shows would follow suit. However, it seems like Spider-Man isn’t on that list. That makes sense because Spider-Man is owned by Sony, so Disney can’t just make a show because they feel like it. Hopefully, there will be some news about it soon. The Spider-Verse movies have done incredibly well, so it’s clear that there is potential for Spider-Man in animated format.
While there is no official confirmation of a Spider-Man ā97 series, we can still hope there will be some in the future. Barnes words, “Hey everybody! As far as I know there are still no plans for a Spider-Man 97 show, but I sure do appreciate the love! ??” may be a way to bring the attention to Sony and Marvel. The companies may be for it if there is potential to make money.
