There's no one as well-placed as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Gunn to pitch a Marvel and DC crossover. The director has now made two Marvel movies (澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Guardians of the Galaxy, its sequel, with the third incoming) and a DC one, the upcoming The Suicide Squad – and now, the filmmaker has revealed he has "casually" spoken with the up-tܫops at both studios about potentially making a crossover between the two.

"I’ve casually talked to the powers-thꦕat-be at both Marvel and DC about it," he . "I would love for it to happen. I don’t think it’s likely, but I don’t think it’s an impossibility either. THAT SAID, just constantly seeing crossovers and mashups is less enchanting to me than a strong story."

Sounds unlikely, but a Marvel and DC crossover would surely set cinemas alight – and༺ with Gunn at the helm, the movie would no doubt be another whirlwind thrill ride... and now we have our hopes up for this "not impossible" crossover.

Gunn : "I find it disconcerting at times that many folks seem more interested in crossovers,ꦬ cameos, references, and post-credit scenes than they do the actual story and characters of a specific film! When making a film I spend 99.9 percent of my time thinking about story & character and 0.1 percent the rest."

that there is definitely a The Suicide Squad post-credits sceꦓne and that he "loves" them, however "they’re always an afterthought, a snack, not the main course." In fairness, fans love these movies because of the characters, and wouldn't care about the post-credits if not for the excellent stories being told – though we do🌠 talk about what's coming next quite a lot. That's all part of the fun!

Should a Marvel and DC crossover happen, the studios could do worse than to adapt the DC vs. Marvel series, which saw two God-like siblings – the personifications of DC and Marvel – challenge each other in a series of duels using pawns picked fro𓆉m their respective universes. The Flash ended up fighting Quicksilver, Batman against Captain America, and Thor vs. Captain Marvel/Shazam. Again, now we're desperate to see that on the big screen. Sure, untangling those contracts would be a nightmare, but – as Gunn – the real winner would be the fans.
