:0:1

WARNING: This article includes SPOILERS from X-Men '97 season 1, episode 8.
Summary

Barnes appreciates fan support for a possible Spider-Man '98 revival but has not received any contact about it.
After a recent X-Men '97 cameo, fans have been curious if a sequel could happen, but Barnes is still waiting to hear.
Despite his enthusiasm for the idea, Barnes has not been approached by anyone regarding a Spider-Man '98 project.

Spider-Man: The Animated Series voice actor Christopher Daniel Barnes chimes in on whether or not his Marvel show is set to get a series revival, following recent events on X-Men '97. As X-Men '97 season 1 gets closer to its end, episode 8 came with a big surprise for longtime Marvel fans, especially those who followed animated shows in the 1990s. Towards the end of X-Men '97 episode 8, Spider-Man was seen swinging in New York, with it being quickly confirmed that this is the same hero from Spider-Man: The Animated Series.
After his version of Spider-Man made a cameo in X-Men '97 episode 8, Barnes, who voiced the iconic web-crawler in the TV show, responded to fans asking if a Spider-Man '98 sequel could happen in any capacity following this particular moment. While Barnes mentioned he would love to be part of a prospective follow-up series, he also shared the following statement:
Even though his Spider-Man showed up in X-Men '97, it was a voiceless cameo, simply showing Peter reacting to the events taking place. As such, it's unclear at this point if this version of Spider-Man will be featured in the final two episodes of X-Men '97 season 1.

Why A Spider-Man '98 Revival Could Still Happen Close While Spider-Man '98 may not be on the table for the foreseeable future, there is a good chance that Marvel Studios will pursue this avenue down the line. Ever since its debut, the X-Men '97 TV show has been a massive success for Marvel Studios, successfully reviving the beloved series and arguably increasing its popularity even further. In fact, X-Men '97 season 2 is already on its way, as the success of the first season was likely already estimated beforehand.
But one of the biggest advantages of revisiting the X-Men: The Animated Series universe is all of the other shows that exist in the same continuity. X-Men '97 season 2 could naturally plan a backdoor pilot for a Spider-Man revival series and finally continue some of the unfinished stories that were left at the end of Spider-Man: The Animated Series season 5. Spider-Man '98 would also likely be one of the few times where Marvel Studios would have full control over the Spider-Man IP, as the rights to this incarnation are seemingly not with Sony.
The head writer for Spider-Man: The Animated Series, John Semper Jr., has even expressed interest in returning for a potential show sequel. If Marvel Studios were able to tap both Semper Jr. and Barnes, it would already build some good confidence with the audience for a series revival. Hopefully, whether it is through future episodes of X-Men '97 or a different setup, more about Spider-Man: The Animated Series' hero will ideally appear sooner rather than later.
