Avengers Member Doesn’t Think A Marvel Movie/TV Crossover Would Work At All

The films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have been huge hits at the box office, and Marvel’s TV shows have also been doing quite well on Netflix. Marvel has been telling fans from the very beginning that when it comes to their live action universe “it’s all connected” but sometimes it doesn’t feel that way.

The Marvel Netflix shows have been going strong for a while now, but we have yet to see characters like Daredevil, Jessica Jones or Luke Cage appear in the film world. Actor Anthony Mackie who plays Falcon in the MCU recently spoke during a panel at Wizard World in Cleveland, and he doesn’t think a crossover would work (via ScreenGeek).

“Different universes, different worlds, different companies, different designs. Kevin Feige is very specific about how he wants the Marvel Universe to be seen in the film world. It wouldn’t work. It wouldn’t work at all.”

It’s hard to deny that the film and TV universes are drastically different when it comes to tone. The shows on Netflix are dark, violent and gritty, whereas the films are usually made to be all ages appropriate. Still, there are quite a few fans out there who would love to see characters like Daredevil interact with The Avengers.

Will it happen? Hopefully. But it doesn’t sound like it’s going to happen anytime soon.

Anthony Mackie Offers To Provide Air Support For Black Widow If She Gets Her Own Movie

Black Widow is a lead Avenger in the Avengers films but despite her status as one of the main characters, she still hasn’t received her own standalone film. There’s a lot of talk about whether or not it’s going to happen, but if it does happen, Anthony Mackie wants in.

“Well, I think Black Widow needs a little bit of aerial support! Mackie told HitFix “I would love, in any capacity, to be a part of that. I’ve always been a huge fan of Scarlett’s, and I’ve always, since I met her, just really admired her as a person. So in whatever capacity I would be used — Falcon would fly for Black Widow.”

Fans have been asking for a Black Widow film for years now and Kevin Feige recently said that Marvel is committed to doing a Black Widow film down the road.

“We’ve announced the next nine movies, ten counting Civil War, through the end of 2019. Where we go beyond that are ongoing discussions that we’ll focus on in the next few years because we have a lot to do before then. Of the characters that you’ve just mentioned I would say certainly the one creatively and emotionally that we are most committing to doing is Black Widow.”

You can catch Anthony Mackie and Scarlett Johansson in “Captain America: Civil War” which is currently in theaters now.
