Anthony Mackie says a Marvel film / TV crossover “wouldn’t work at all”

Even though the various Marvel television shows all contain obvious references and minor character appearances from the blockbuster superhero films, it appears that an all-out crossover between the big and small screen sides of the Marvel Cinematic Universe can be ruled out, at least for the time being

Anthony Mackie (who plays Falcon in the MCU) was asked about the possibility of such a crossover during an appearance Wizard World Cleveland (via ScreenGeek ), replying that: “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.”

Last year when we interviewed Mackie for Captain America: Civil War, he also expressed his interest in a Marvel/DC team-up, which obviously has about a 0% chance of ever happening.

Do you agree with Mackie about a Marvel movie and TV crossover? Can you see it happening? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below…

Mackie’s opinions are just that, he doesn’t exactly pull the strings at Marvel HQ! But I would agree about the differences. If the intention is to keep them separate (like the DC films and TV), let’s do that. No more pandering to the films from the TV side of things with constant references to the latest film plots – god know it’s not reciprocated! It’s a sad state of affairs though that could be easily remedied, would it be that painful to drop in the odd reference to superpowered people in New York or the Inhuman crisis? It’s not even a crossover or including characters, just references. Gees Marvel, just put your petty arguments to one side and work together. If the movies and TV suffer as a consequence it’s really not worth it.
