ComingSoon spoke with The Newton Brothers , the composers for X-Men ’97, about their work on the incredible new animated series .
For both of us, it’s a full-circle moment that’s nothing short of magical. Growing up with the X-Men, feeling every triumph, setback, and pulse-pounding moment alongside these characters, and now, contributing to their legacy—it’s like being part of a dream we’ve had since we first heard Ron’s unforgettable theme tune.
Once we had found the palette and themes, we set off to find moments to lean into nostalgia and moments to introduce new ideas. Probably much like an artist playing a concert where they incorporate the fan favorites while sprinkling in new songs to expand on the catalog. Performance is paramount in the conveying of emotion and that performance needs to always feel sincere every step of the way, but in order to bring everyone together to record, there must be some forced organization so the players know what to play and when to play it. If you think about a band of 5 players in a garage in high school, they might trade ideas and organically build a song. That process yields an incredibly fluid and sincere situation.
The series is known for its action-packed scenes. How did you use electrifying guitar riffs to enhance the intensity and excitement of these moments? To infuse fresh elements, we experimented with modern synths, innovative orchestration, and contemporary rhythms, blending the classic with modern. Our goal was to strike a harmonic balance where the new score resonates with long-time fans, evoking nostalgia and excitement, while also appealing to new viewers with its modernity and freshness. It’s a dynamic interplay of honoring the past and embracing the future, creating a musical experience that’s hopefully timeless.
