Kevin Feige Now Says That There WILL Be Some Kind Of MARVEL Movie/TV Crossover... Eventually
Fans had all-but given up hope of ever seeing Marvel's cinematic and TV universes crossover, but Kevin Feige has now stated that he does expect to see it happen at some point. More past the jump...
Though Marvel's television shows do exist in the same universe as the studio's big screen projects, Kevin Feige has always maintained that it's highly unlikely we'd ever see the likes of Daredevil and Jessica Jones mixing it up with the heroes of The Avengers.
Because of this, disappointed fans had pretty much given up on the idea, but recent comments from the studio boss definitely suggest that he's changed his mind - in fact, he now definitively states that it is going to happen... someday.
When asked if a character showing up on TV 100 percent means they can’t end up in a movie during an interview with io9, Feige responded:
"Not necessarily. The future’s a long time. So, the truth is, I don’t really know, but there are a lot of TV shows being made, and hopefully we’ll continue to make a lot of movies. At some point, there’s going to be a crossover. Crossover, repetition, or something."
Of course, even if a TV character does show up in a movie it doesn't necessarily mean they'll be played by the same actor, and Feige's "repetition" comment does seems to be alluding to this possibility.
Either way, fans probably shouldn't expect any steps to be taken towards a crossover for a long time - but it's nice to know that the idea is finally being kicked around, at least.
