CAPTAIN AMERICA Directors Want Wolverine to Join the MCU

There’s been a lot of talk lately from the Marvel filmmakers of both Fox and Marvel about combining their universes. It started off with Spider-Man and Deadpool coming together, and then Captain America: Civil War directors Joe and Anthony Russo said they’d love to have Deadpool jump in the MCU. That’s not the only character that Fox has control over that they like to see join their universe. During a recent interview with Collider, the directors were asked who else they would like to play with in the MCU and their answer:

"Joe Russo: Wolverine.
Anthony Russo: Yeah.
Joe Russo: First favorite character growing up was Spider-Man, second was Wolverine. One of my most-prized possessions is Incredible Hulk #181. It was his first appearance.
Weintraub: Do you have it graded or is it just in your collection?
Joe Russo: It’s in my collection. It’s sitting in a safe. I won’t disclose where it is.
Anthony Russo: I know where it is. And I would say Wolverine as well, for all of the exciting reasons that we all gravitate to."

Of course, they want Wolverine! Hell, we’d all love to see Wolverine join the MCU! I have no idea if there are really any serious talks between Marvel and Fox executives regarding a crossover deal, but if they aren’t, there should be. 

Last year Marvel and Fox made a deal to develop the X-Men inspired TV series Legion and Hellfire, which tells me the two studios are willing to work with each other. Then, of course, Marvel and Sony were able to work something out which tells us nothing is impossible.

Holy shit! Could you imagine a live-action movie in which we get to see Hulk and Wolverine fight each other?! Could that actually be a reality?! Damn… I’d sure like to think it is.
