Joe Russo, the co-director of Avengers 4, has addressed the notion of intergrating new characters into the MCU once the Disney/Fox deal goes through.
One of the biggest stories in Hollywood over the past year has been the Disney/Fox deal that would as a result see the Marvel characters owned by Fox able to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The deal isn’t finalised yet but Joe Russo, in a recent interview with USA Today, addressed the topic, saying it might be a while before any new characters turn up in the MCU:
“It could be a little time, with the integration of Fox and all the Fox characters. I haven’t talked to [Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige] directly about it, so I don’t know what his plans are. But my guess would be they’re gonna integrate some of the other characters and take their time doing that.”
It’s certainly exciting times for Marvel fans, who have been dreaming about the X-Men appearing on screen with the Avengers for years. We might just have to be patient for a while longer yet though…
