Some recent news has suggested that this may be the case, with the mutants fighting in Avengers: Infinity War. But Captain America: Civil War co-director Joe Russo has just dashed our hopes and dreams.
For most fans, “anything” means working out a similar deal with Fox to also allow the X-Men to join up with The Avengers at some point.
The director recently spoke with Comicbook.com about the upcoming Blu-ray release of Captain America: Civil War. During the course of the chat, the subject of the X-Men joining up with The Avengers came up, and unfortunately, Joe Russo didn’t seem overly optimistic about the prospect.
Unfortunately, even though some of the groundwork appears to be laid out, it doesn’t look like The Avengers and X-Men crossover we desperately want is happening anytime soon.
