Hugh Jackman already stars as the Wolverine in the highly successful X-MEN movie franchise, but apparently that’s just not enough for the Aussie actor because he has plans to break into the AVENGERS franchise as well!
That’s right, Hugh Jackman is hoping that AVENGERS and X-MEN collaborate! “I don’t know what’s happening behind the scenes, but I think it’s fantastic,” he stated. “I actually just asked the other day, I said, ‘I don’t know what the legal situation is, but why don’t these companies come together? Why isn’t it possible?'”
It’s fairly well known that even though both the X-MEN and the AVENGERS are part of the Marvel Universe, Marvel only owns the movie rights to AVENGERS and Fox holds the rights to X-MEN making a collaboration more than a little tricky.
Marvel is also fairly inclusive about who they include in their movies, but we agree with Hugh Jackman when he said that he “would love to mix it up with Robert Downey Jr. and Iron Man!”
