Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige recently discussed the possibility of an Avengers vs. X-Men crossover in future Marvel movies.
Although the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has yet to fully introduce its version of the X-Men, several mutants have started to appear through the multiverse and other means.
With new Avengers movies on the horizon, fans are growing more excited about the potential for a big-screen clash between the two iconic teams.
In a recent interview with Phase Zero, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige addressed the highly anticipated crossover and shared that it is now very possible.
Feige pointed out that the MCU had to alter major comic book storylines because they didn’t have the film rights to certain characters, like the X-Men.
Although he didn’t confirm the development of an Avengers vs. X-Men movie, Feige mentioned that upcoming Marvel movies can now incorporate the entire range of Marvel Comics characters.
Fiege said, “What’s fun is it’s all possible now…”
“So when we were doing [Captain America:] Civil War for instance, or even [Avengers:] Infinity War, there were just dozens of characters that we had to take out of those comic stories because we didn’t have access to them.
He further added, “Now as we choose upcoming storylines, we don’t have to do that, and we have access to all of them.”
The MCU has already introduced a few mutants, including Professor Xavier (played by Patrick Stewart) in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Beast (portrayed by Kelsey Grammer) in The Marvels.
On top of that, Hugh Jackman is currently appearing as Logan in Deadpool and Wolverine.
Deadpool & Wolverine is currently playing in theaters.
