The Avengers
Getting all the superheroes together seems to be all the rage. Warner Bros. has had its ups and downs with Justice League, but that might not deter Marvel from going forward with The Avengers in the future. While talking with Moviehole, Iron Man director Jon Favreau claims that such a production is now possible.
Favreau Talks Avengers
Downey Jr may be back as Iron Man – possibly even in a film that unites many of the Marvel superheroes. ‘’The Avengers,’’ based on the comic book title of the same name, sees several classic heroes coming together. It's been in early development for a few months now. Favreau believes it'll definitely happen.
“The fact that Marvel now have the rights to these characters, that would make up the members of The Avengers, rather than have them scattered among various Hollywood studios, makes it very possible. Before you couldn't have Spider-Man and X-Men in the same movie, but now that Marvel is reacquiring the rights to so many of these characters, you can unite characters. I think after a few of these franchises have done a few movies, they can team them up for an Avengers movie, where they're bringing those people together and doing something on a larger scale, and it'll reinvigorate all of them [the franchises].”
Yeah, but let's also take a lesson from Justice League and not get our hopes up just yet.
