As Avengers: Apocalypse hits theaters next month, Kevin Feige celebrates over 25 years of Marvel’s cinematic journey.
The president of Marvel Studios, who was also an associate producer on the 2000s X-Menrecently explained that it “felt right” to introduce the mutant superheroes of Xavier’s School for Gifted Young People into the MCU with Avengers: Doomsday, which hits theaters December 18.
“You see interviews with Hugh Jackman from 15 or 20 years ago saying, ‘People say it’s impossible, but maybe one day the X-Men and the Avengers can all come together.’ It was just good,” Feige told Empire. “It seemed like a fun way to culminate a quarter century of storytelling.”
Directed by the Russo brothers, Avengers: Apocalypse sees the multiverse collapse, forcing the heroes of multiple Earths to unite against Doctor Doom (Robert Downey Jr), including the stars of the original live-action X-Men franchise.
