The animation style of the promo resembles the 1999 cartoon "Spider-Man Unlimited" (that Saban and Meugniot worked on), with shading and proportions to suggest a comic brought to life.

Englehart and Cronin both attribute the cancellation of "Captain America" to money problems that Marvel was facing at the time; they'd filed for bankruptcy in 1996, experiencing a hard crash to the earlier '90s comic boom.
