Crossover Films

[VoodooMagic]

One thing I've always wondered is why don't they do a crossover film? Like would it be a crime at all for Hulk to get a co-star superhero?

Dr. Strange and Thor seem like they'd be an interesting team up

I'd think that Avengers is the biggest crossover of them all....

But yeah, I wouldn't be the least bit upset if the studio started making some "Marvel Team-Ups," even as just mini-features if not full-blown films.

I still felt like Iron Man 2 should have had the Hulk be the first 10 minutes or so of the movie and have Iron Man help SHIELD take him down. Now that is probably what the first part of Avengers is going to be, which is fine.

Crossover villain's are a must though. Doom, Skrulls, Red Skull

Well the Avengers is changing some of that...i wonder though...can different studios crosss over non utilized heroes? Why not have Galactus and Dan Ketch Ghost Rider show up in Marvel Studios movies?

Yeah I really hope avengers will change marvel studios for the better so that they can see that team up movies can succeed both critically and fInancially

i really wanted the ff and avengers fighting galactus, if they ever get the ff back from fox. they can always do hulk vs thor. or when introducing a new franchise have an avenger show up. like if they do black panther have old school cap show up in a flashback fighting black panther.

How about a DC vs Marvel movie? Have one movie directed and produced by WB studios and the other by Marvel studios? An epic trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan from the DC side and a good director from Marvel making theirs.

A DC vs Marvel movie sounds really tacky.

Yup.
Marvel has had fifty kajillion hundred heroes make the big screen already; DC has, what, three?

Enough with "DC vs. Marvel" already. That battle was relevant in, say, 1980. Hasn't even been remotely close since then.

I was think about if they make big crossover movies with all the franchises and related characters (Avengers, Dr. Strange, Luke Cage, Asgardians, ect.) what they should call it? Should just call it by whatever story they are adapting like "Infinity Guantlet" or with some kind of additional name branding like "Marvel Presents..." or "The Marvels in..." or "Marvel Knights in.."?

A defenders thing would be awesome

Anyways, I'd like to see a quest story similar to LOTR with epic battles and 3 hr long movies featured entirely in the Marvel Universe.

I think DC vs Marvel could work. I really liked the Kurt Busiek crossover with Kronos as the enemy, but I think they could make it a little simpler.

For crossovers, we should have the equivalent of Marvel Team-Up or Marvel Two-in-one. Of course, those were with Spider-Man and the Thing as the two stars of those comics respectively, but there's no reason it can't be done with two (or more) different characters. Hulk once was teamed with Spider-Woman (sort of) in one of the Marvel Team-Up issues. Not that I would want Spider-Woman to be introduced in that way at all.

Of course, the one crossover movie I'd like to see (that shouldn't even be a crossover but should be one movie from the outset) is Power Man and Iron Fist.

3 hour long movies are a tough sell. I generally stick to the belief that there is really no reason a movie should be longer than 2.5. LOTR is the exception because it has to be the exception, but even then ROTK pushes the good will of LOTR to limit with its absurd running time.

I think for superheroes you keep it in the 2-2.5 range

If you wanted to do your quest thing you could do it like the comics do it and have different movies like Spiderman 4, X-men 3, Iron Man 4, F4 2 all lead into Avengers 3 or whatever where they are all in the secret wars for those 5 movies, yet each individual entity gets its own due

The cross-ups I would like would be Spiderman and Wolverine or the Punisher and daredevil. but for these things to work we need stand alone films of each character so we can invest emotion in them before the team up. Having a stand alone film would bring up anticipation for a cross over.

LOTR, Avatar and Titanic disagree.

I want a Marvel Knights movie which consists of Blade, Elektra, Daredevil, Ghost Rider and the Punisher. Plus all of them already had a solo film, so the general audience has an idea about them.
