It’s been almost 10 years since “Iron Man” was released and since then the Marvel Cinematic Universe has expanded in a big way. The MCU is filled with quite a few colorful characters, and after Marvel and Sony decided to play nice with each other, Spider-Man finally joined the universe last year.
Spider-Man joining the MCU was huge step toward a complete cinematic universe, but Fox still owns the film rights to the X-Men, Fantastic Four and other characters. Fans have been hoping to see X-Men and Fantastic Four characters join the MCU someday, but right now it looks unlikely.
Although it may seem unlikely, Kevin Feige recently spoke to Perception and he said he still hopes to bring everyone together someday.
“My goal is to replicate the experience that 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. And certainly, including Spidey in Civil War, 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 for the few remaining characters that aren’t already in the MCU but never say never. Who knows what can happen in the future?”
You know what they say, never say never.
