Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski just lately sat down with SFX Magazine to discuss the traditional sci-fi franchise and its comeback. The new animated movie Babylon 5: The Road Home does some fascinating issues because it explores quantum mechanics and parallel timelines, and the future of the franchise goes to proceed to discover the multiverse. Straczynski stated:
“If this one does well, Warners want to do more. We start with Sheridan in his own timeline, but there’s also an alternate timeline where we have Sinclair, Sheridan, Ivanova and Lochley side by side, and all the characters are in their youth and available to us.
“That can be the core for any [films] going ahead. It provides me the freedom to say, ‘Alright, if I’m ranging from zero and I’ve entry to all the characters, what can occur subsequent?’ [Viewers familiar with the show] might know this universe and these characters, however now they don’t know what’s going to occur.”
Playing with the multiverse is all the rage right now. Marvel, DC, Rick and Morty, and Everything Everywhere All At Once are all playing the multiverse sandbox. I guess it makes sense that Babylon 5 would jump in on the action as well.
I hope that The Road Home ends up being a success for Straczynski because it means he will have the opportunity to tell more Babylon 5 stories. One thing that fans are really hoping for is that live-action revival that is still in the works.
