Marvel quashes plans for a movie crossover of X-Men and Avengers

Hugh-Jackman-Wolverine-Chris-Evans-Captain-America-570x427Marvel Studios has ”no plans” for an ‘X-Men’ and ‘Avengers Assemble’ crossover movie.

Although President of Production Kevin Feige thinks the idea – championed by ‘Wolverine’ star Hugh Jackman, who wants to team up with Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man – would be ”fun”, it isn’t on their radar for the immediate future.

Speaking during a Jameson’s Done In 60 Seconds Google Hangout online Q&A for Empire magazine, Feige said: ”There’s certainly no plans right now. Enough amazing things have happened in the 13 years that I’ve been at Marvel, I never say never to things like that. But I don’t think it’ll be any time soon.

”’The Avengers’ have so many stories to tell. It’s not like creatively we need or want to include the X-Men, but as a fan I think it would be fun. It’s Phase 27!”

The announcement really did a number on Marvel’s big reveal; the title of the next Avengers movie (Avengers: Age of Ultron), but now that the door is well and truly open for big name superheroes to cross paths, who knows what could happen next. With the Avengers already out there as a major motion picture and Guardians of the Galaxy and a Justice League movie coming soon, we can hopefully expect to see more and more superheroes all in one movie. Until then, here’s what we hope/pray we can see in the not-so-distant future. (more…)

Avengers Cast Demand Sequel Pay Rise

1Marvel is reportedly in tense negotiations with the cast of ‘The Avengers 2’.

The Disney-owned movie studio has yet to secure key actors including Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson and Chris Hemsworth for the sequel to last year’s smash hit superhero blockbuster – which grossed $1.5 billion worldwide – as they are hoping to land big money deals, reports Deadline.

‘Iron Man 3’ star Downey recently confirmed he was paid $50 million, consisting of an upfront payment and a percentage of the film’s box office profits, for ‘The Avengers’ and is now reportedly spearheading efforts for his cast mates to negotiate better deals for the follow-up film after some of them received just $200,000 for the first flick.
