Marvel Studios
Ever since Disney acquired Fox earlier this year, fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have been clamoring for details about the studios’ eventual integration of iconic characters such as Deadpool, the Fantastic Four, and the X-Men.
After spending a decade building out the MCU without the use of some of their most famous characters, Marvel Studios now has all of their heavy hitters at their disposal as thy plan the future of the franchise.
And according to franchise star Mark Ruffalo, he’s more than interested in doing a movie with one of those new Marvel all-stars: Wolverine.
While attending Tokyo Comic-Con, the actor was asked straight-up about the possibility of a Hulk Vs. Wolverine movie. And it seems said crossover is not outside the realm of possibility.
“Kevin Feige just asked me last week if I had any more ideas or stories for the Hulk. And I said yeah, I think there’s still some stories to tell. And he said, ‘Well why don’t you come in and tell me about them and we’ll see if we can find a place for you in the Marvel universe?’ Hulk vs. Wolverine. I’d like to see that. Hulk vs. Wolverine.” [via We Got This Covered]
A Hulk vs. Wolverine is something that’s obviously been floating around Marvel Studios for some time, as it was rumored earlier this year that a film based on that epic arc was in development.
With Wolverine now firmly under the control of Marvel Studios, it’s simply a matter of when not if he makes his MCU debut. The only question at this point is how Marvel Studios chooses to do so.
