Kevin Feige Discusses Possibility Of Avengers And X-Men Crossing Over
Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige opens up about the chance of the Avengers and the X-Men crossing paths in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Feige’s comments about the subject are far from the first time the question of the two superhero teams uniting on the big screen has been raised. Indeed, fans have been clamoring for just such an event for as long as both film franchises have been around. Unfortunately, lack of foresight on Marvel’s part led to the company giving away the movie rights to X-Men and other properties like Spider-Man before the emergence of the company’s phenomenally successful Avengers franchise.
Of course, Feige is more than familiar with these issues but appeared no less hopeful about there someday being a crossover, saying that he hopes to one day recreate “the experience” that fans had when seeing all the character unite in the comics.
Per CBR.com, the source of this story:
The Marvel boss went to discuss one of the most notable long shot acquisitions in the studio’s history: a certain Wall-Crawler who has made his way into two mainline Avengers movies.
“Spidey in Civil War and in the upcoming Infinity War is yet another dream that I didn’t even dare to talk about publicly because I thought the odds of it were very slim,” Feige said. “So, no plans beyond that right now for any of the few remaining characters that aren’t already in the MCU, but I always say ‘never say never,’ who knows what can happen in the future?”
