Stan Lee 'Would Love To See' The X-Men, The Avengers, And Spider-Man In A Single Movie
Stan Lee, the man responsible for bringing such popular comic book - and now big-screen - superheroes like Thor, The Hulk, Spider-Man, and the X-Men to life, has expressed his wish to see all of his superhero creations in one superhero crossover film.
"I would love to see that," the iconic comic book writer and former Marvel Comics president and chairman told Digital Spy. "Though there are so many of them now that I don't know if they'd all fit on the screen!"
But the 93-year-old comic book legend also pointed out that its entirely possible to pull off a crossover, as Marvel Studios has done. As Marvel fans know, Sony Pictures struck a deal with Marvel in early 2015 that allowed Spider-Man to appear in the forthcoming "Captain America: Civil War." The Guardians of the Galaxy is said to appear in a future Avengers film, perhaps in "Avengers: Infinity War - Part I." Sadly, Fox, who owns the X-Men, can't seem to work with Marvel to bring fans a film where Wolverine teams up with the Avengers.

"Little by little, they are appearing and guest-starring in each other's movies," Lee said. "It's such fun, because any one of them could fit into another movie - there's always a way to write it."
"When I was writing the comics, I would always have somebody guest-starring in somebody else's story," he added. "It's fun to write and I think the readers and the audiences like it too.'
Lee, who has had cameo appearances in all of the Marvel movies, also told the website that he has done three more cameos in recent months. Though he did not reveal for which movies these cameos were shot, the next Marvel films to be released are "Captain America: Civil War" (out May 6), "Doctor Strange" (out November 4), and "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" (out May 5, 2017). The next X-Men film, "X-Men: Apocalypse," hits theaters on May 27.
