Marvel Animation Age caught up with
The Spectacular Spider-Man supervising producer/story editor Greg Weisman concerning the "done and over with" comment apparently made in regards to the current production status of the
The Spectacular Spider-Man animated series. The comment, made by Marvel Animation President Eric Rollman and Chris Yost and featured in a recent Marvel Animation-focused interview at Newsarama, resulted in a massive fan outcry for the series. Weisman had the following to say, as seen below.
"I don't know what to say," says Weisman. "Last I heard Disney XD was waiting to see how the series did in the November sweeps."
"If Eric [Rollman] and Chris [Yost] know for certain it's dead, it's news to me," he continues. "But they are insiders at Marvel, and I'm an insider at... well... nowhere, really."
He concludes, "I still hold out some hope that we'll make more
The Spectacular Spider-Man episodes, but of course that decision is way out of my hands..."
When asked to elaborate on the "done and over with" comment, Marvel Animation President Eric Rollman told Marvel Animation Age that "no decisions have been made either way" regarding the fate of the series, adding that he appreciates the showing of support for
The Spectacular Spider-Man. As of now, there appears to be no official confirmation on the status of
The Spectacular Spider-Man, but stay tuned for further updates.
