Kevin Feige Remains Open To An AVENGERS VS. X-MEN Crossover Movie But There's A Catch

Kevin Feige talks about his desire to bring non-Marvel owned characters into their Cinematic Universe but explains that an Avengers Vs. X-Men crossover could only happen in a very specific way.

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has made it clear recently that he's got no intention of teaming up with Fox to bring any of their Marvel characters into their Cinematic Universe, but that obviously doesn't mean he's given up on the idea of the likes of the Fantastic Four and X-Men coming home.  

In the video below, Feige touched on the possibility that characters not in the MCU could find their way back in the future and used a crossover between The Avengers and X-Men as a prime example. 

"My goal is to replicate the experience that, you know, comic book fans have reading the books up on the screen and we’ve been able to accomplish that beyond my wildest dreams over the last ten years," he explained before adding: "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. 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?"

Fox is clearly happy with their superhero adaptations after the success of movies like Deadpool and Logan, while Marvel Studios produces hit after hit and needs neither the X-Men nor Fantastic Four. It's interesting, though, that Feige remains open to the possibility, but a shame that he'll seemingly only consider it if the X-Men were to enter the MCU in the same way that Spider-Man did last year.

the condition should be that the MCU gets the rights back and recasts the entire XMen lineage and follow a shade of the original progressions and configurations of the group.

@scapegoatjones - i like the cast of x men, most likely they will recast the whole avengers and reboot the mcu because their too old and costly. Then again they can just de age all the actors like civil war, gotg vol 2, potc 5, rogue ones, etc.

@mastakilla39 - well good for you. its just a shame after DoFP they didnt use it as an opportunity to restore the continuity and make the original XMen, the original [frick]ing XMen. Rogue and Iceman being teenage love interests, enough said.

I'll take Fantastic Four in the MCU, adding the X-Men into the fray would be a HUGE undertaking. Not to say it couldn't be done, they'd just have a lot of big characters to juggling.

I doubt Kevin thought the chances of Spidey entering the MCU were slim. It's all politics with these studios...and money's he wanted it to happen so it happened.

@Frshcoupe - It was slim until Amazing Spider-Man 2 tanked.

Honestly if Marvel just got the rights back for Fantastic Four, that'd be all we need. Not only do we get the Fantastic Four but we get the likes of GALACTUS and SILVER SURFER? Yeah, no contest there. X-men can continue....being whatever it is at FOX.

Maybe I'm in the minority here but I've kinda moved on from wanting to see the X-Men or F4 in the MCU. I mean I won't ever be unhappy if it happens but at this point I've just stopped hoping or caring.

@MattBellissimo - LoL how would they even appear. You would have to rewrite history.
