"The second season had so many delays that it was on the brink of cancellation a number of times, only to have the financing studio (not Marvel) pony up some cash to give it a gasp of life. So when word finally came that it was dead, I wasn’t that surprised. Hugely disappointed, yes."



"Eight scripts and a couple of premises were finished, and some initial designs, some of which were shown at Comic-Con 09. Like I said, money issues plagued the second season almost as soon as it was green lit."

"I had a VERY cool Deadpool script, where basically he was sent from Weapon X as part of a larger effort to bring Wolverine in. It was so fun, and Nolan North would have done the voice. We also had an awesome story with Colossus and his sister trying to get out of Russia, which was in major lockdown because of the anti-mutant hysteria.

The future stuff where Apocalypse was ruling, was a massive puzzle. The Age of Apocalypse books were their own universe. But in our series, we needed the AoA to have logically developed from our modern day storyline. For example, Cyclops had to go from where he was in our series, to working for Apocalypse in the future, and that transition had to be plausible. We had many of those types of hoops to jump through, and that was a process that was changing with nearly every script."
