The possibilities are certainly endless for Marvel fans now that 20th Century Fox has been acquired by Disney. However, it looks like Fox may have planned for a major crossover film for the studio's Marvel characters. That's right, we almost had an X-Men movie featuring Deadpool and The Fantastic Four.
The revelation comes from X-Men: First Class screenwriter Zack Stentz, who was recently a guest on Kevin Smith's Fatman Beyond podcast. Interestingly, Stentz admitted that he and former writing partner Ashely Edward Miller actually worked on a script that brought the X-Men together with Fox's other Marvel characters. Additionally, the studio already had a director attached to the project.
It's pretty disappointing that this never happened back in the past. Although we would have loved the idea of a major X-Men film that actually included Daredevil, it looks it could happen now that all the characters are under one studio. For now, we can look forward to Fox's last X-Men film Dark Phoenix next week.
X-Men: Dark Phoenix hits theaters on June 7.
