“I’m sure of it," said Joe Russo at Business Insider's IGNITION Conference when asked if characters like X-Men and Deadpool could appear in Disney's Marvel Cinematic Universe. "I’m certain, with [president of Marvel Studios] Kevin Feige, who also has been on an historic run in the business, that he is going to incorporate those characters under the large Marvel umbrella.”
"We haven’t spoken to him [Feige] specifically about when he’s going to do it, but I’m certain that that acquisition created great value in dimensionalizing Marvel and the stories that they can tell going forward," added Russo.
"It only makes sense. I want to be careful here because of what's been communicated to the Fox folks, but I think they know," said Iger in September. "It only makes sense for Marvel to be supervised by one entity. There shouldn't be two Marvels."
"Bob Iger, by the way, is an historic film executive," said Joe Russo of the Disney/Fox acquisition on Tuesday afternoon. "What he has done for Disney over the last 15 years, I don’t know that anyone’s ever done anything at the scale that he’s done it and with the batting percentage that he’s done it with. So I think the acquisition of Fox is showing us where the future of the business is going to go. Everything’s conglomerating.”
When asked whether or not the "Avengers 4" directors would like to reveal the much-anticipated title of the next movie, the brothers declined.
"We'd like to, but we won't," said Anthony Russo.
INSIDER is expecting a trailer for the yet untitled film to drop this week. "Avengers 4" will be in theaters May 3, 2019. Fox, meanwhile, has another X-Men movie, " Dark Phoenix ," due out next summer.
