Kevin Feige thinks a crossover between Marvel films and television shows is “inevitable”.
Recent movie releases from the studio include Avengers: Age of Ultron and Ant-Man, while small screen offerings have included Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D and Daredevil.
Fans have been asking for a collaboration between the two mediums for the past few months, and Kevin believes it could well be happening at some point in the future.
“I think it’s inevitable as we’re plotting the movies going forward and they’re plotting the shows,” Kevin told IGN. “The schedules do not always quite match up to make that possible. It’s easier for them, because they are more nimble and faster to produce things, which is one of the reasons you see the repercussions of Winter Soldier or Age of Ultron in the shows. But going forward as there continues to be more shows and casting such great actors as they have, particularly with Daredevil, that may occur.”
With such a talented and sought after ensemble in its movies, Kevin does acknowledge organising a crossover could be difficult.
And he added it’s a case of finding the right time for one that has proved tough so far.
“By the time we start doing a movie they might be midway through [filming] a season and by the time the movie comes out they’ll be done with their second season and starting a third season,” he said. “So finding timing on that isn’t always easy.”
Upcoming releases in the Marvel Cinematic Universe include Doctor Strange and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
The studio also recently negotiated a deal with Sony to share custody of the Spider-Man character.
And Kevin is convinced fans have a lot to look forward to with the inclusion of Spidey in upcoming films.
"Making that agreement ... was great, and was really amazing, and on a personal level making these movies, it means a lot because I think we can do great things with Spider-Man," Kevin said. "I think Spider-Man can serve great purpose in our universe and that's where he belongs. That was what was unique about him in the comics was not that he was the only superhero in the world; it's that he was a totally different kind of superhero when compared against all the other ones in the Marvel universe at the time."
