Is SPIDER-MAN About To Swing Into DEADPOOL's Corner Of Fox's X-MEN Universe?
Deadpool director Tim Miller and X-Men: Apocalypse writer/producer Simon Kinberg talk here about the possibility of Spider-Man making the leap from the MCU to the world of the Merc with the Mouth.
Spider-Man enters the Marvel Cinematic Universe in next month's Captain America: Civil War, but could Sony Pictures be talked into loaning him out for an appearance in the Deadpool sequel? As much as fans and those involved with the franchise want to make it happen, the chances of that happening are probably somewhere between slim and none, but stranger things have happened and there's no way Marvel Studios or Sony have been able to ignore the success of the Merc with the Mouth's movie.
Talking to Comic Book Resources to promote the upcoming Blu-ray release of the R-Rated hit, producer Simon Kinberg had this to say about whether he hopes to see Spider-Man swing into Deadpool somewhere down the line. "We would love it. I mean, Tim and I talked about it quite a bit. We grew up on comics that did it all the time, quite freely. Not just within the Marvel Universe, but outside the Marvel Universe. So it'd be rad to see it. Those decisions are made by people at a much higher part of the food chain than Tim and I -- we just go execute it. But yeah, we would love it, and we certainly each have a really good relationship with Kevin Feige. Maybe one day there's a sit-down, "Godfather"-style dinner where we could broker a deal. It'd be cool."
It would certainly be pretty interesting to be a fly on the wall at that conversation, but again, it just seems unlikely. That's something director Tim Miller was more than happy to ackonowledge, stating: "I honestly can say, as an adult who works in this industry, you certainly can see all the reasons why it doesn't happen. The corporate inertia, just the lawyering of that deal alone is so daunting that I don't think anybody would seriously consider it. But as a fan, you just want to go, "[frick] man! Why can't I see that?" Because that's what I got in comic books." Would you like to see a meeting between Spider-Man and Deadpool on the big screen?
