Kevin Feige discusses how Disney/Fox merger will change Marvel Studios

Will the X-Men join the Avengers?

For superhero fans, the most exciting prospect about the Disney/Fox merger is the X-Men series and Marvel Cinematic Universe being under the same roof.

But what does that mean for the future of the Avengers? Well, no-one’s quite sure yet, including the head of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige.

“The truth of the matter as I understand it is the deal has to be figured out,” Feige told Vulture.

“There’s been no communication. We’re not thinking about it. We’re focusing on everything we’ve already announced. If and when the deal actually happens, we’ll start to think more about it. Until then, we have a lot to do.”

Pressed on whether Marvel Studios had a plan for when the X-Men are up for grabs — something similar to their plan to write Spider-Man into Captain America: Civil War even though the rights to the character are owned by Sony — Feige remained vague.

“It would be years away,” the producer continued. “We’ve announced everything through 2019, so none of those would be adjusted.”

Those already announced projects include the upcoming Black Panther, the first social media reviews for which have reached the internet already. Beyond that, there are two Avengers film, Ant-Man and the Wasp, and the Brie Larson-starring Captain Marvel.
