Hollywood studious having various rights over various Marvel comics characters is talking about a vast movie crossover? Although the thought of it being possible seemed a bit blurry, For Stan Lee, Hollywood studios have been noodling on the idea.
On Marvel's 75th anniversary celebration at Hammer Museum, Roy Thomas, Marvel's chief editor and Kevin Smith, the filmmaker, did a Q&A and book signing last Saturday. Thomas is the successor of Stan Lee, the 91-year-old co-creator of the well known Iron man, Captain America, Spider man, Thor and just about an Marvel character.
Geared up for almost an hour mark, an member of the audience dressed in Captain America stood up to ask Lee if we will see he X-Men and the Avengers - all were owned by Sony, Fox and Disney, respectively - will be coming together onscreen.
"It's something that Marvel is very concerned about," Lee responded. "It's very difficult to bring 'em all together because these characters are so successful and make so much money that the studios that have the rights don't want to let them go. So that's something that all the lawyers and all the production companies have to work out. Whether they get it worked out, I don't know."
In connection to the statement, Is Lee hinting about the studios having unannounced meeting about this? And/or those talks have ended in an expressed mutual interest, and now gearing up to the bottom, formalities? Talking about its financial potential, Lee admitted something on the event stating that:
""It is a shame that [Disney]- Marvel can't distribute every one of them. Because then we could put them all together ... in a movie that would make a hundred trillion dollars!"
ee have also talked about his numerous cameos in Marvel movies, but shouldn't we be facing it that the only cameo that we want is something like this, Lee will walk into a room where Peter Parker, the Avengers, the Fantastic Four and X-men are present on the costly movie franchise?
