In the comics, the X-Men and the Avengers have clashed quite a few times, like in the 2012 “Avengers vs. X-Men” mini-series. But should we expect to see them team up or face off on the big screen?
Fans are guessing that their favorite mutants might show up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) after the recent deal with Sony allowed Spider-Man to join the MCU in “Captain America: Civil War.”
When the directors of last two Captain America films who are also currently working on Avengers 3, Ruso brothers- Joe and Anthony Russo were asked if there is a possibility of X-Men joining the Avengers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Joe Russo said: “As far as we know, right now there isn’t talk regarding the X-Men.
I don’t know if behind-the-scenes there were conversations or if there are conversations happening but we certainly haven’t heard of any.
“Sony and Marvel had a relationship through Kevin [Feige] and Amy [Pascal] and through us and Amy.”
He added: “That’s really how Spider-Man came about. It requires a certain alchemy and a very special situation for studios to share properties.”
But we still found a ray of hope as Russo made sure to cushion his bets slightly, saying, “I don’t know if behind-the-scenes there were conversations or if there are conversations happening but we certainly haven’t heard of any.”
Now it’s high time for Bryan Singer and the people over at Fox to become comrades with the Russos.
