Since the release of Marvels Avengers last year, movie-goers have wondered as to why a certain number of heroes didn't join Iron Man and co in the fight against Loki. For people who are not already aware, a lot of different studios own a lot of different Marvel characters. Disney own the current Avengers and Sony own Spiderman, there for the web slinger will probably never appear in an Avengers movie. The same goes for X-men, which is owned by 20th Century Fox, however, there is a loophole which allows certain X-Men characters to appear in Disney and Marvels Avengers. The reason? because some X-Men characters have at some point had main roles in The Avengers source material (The Comic Books).
Recently, Joss Whedon announced that the X-men fast as lightning character 'Quicksilver' will be appearing in the upcoming 'Avengers 2'. Now it seems, Bryan Singer (Director of X-men Days of Future Past) has revealed that the character will also be appearing in his own movie and has already been cast (American Horror Story's Evan Peters).
This was quite a surprise to Marvel fans and begs the question: Is this the start of a small scale partnership? or is Fox playing dirty with their assets? After all, X-Men is scheduled to be release a years before Avenger 2. Wouldn't it be confusing to see the same character, played by two different actors and sporting two completely different costumes?
If this is a case of two studios taking petty shots at one another, only time will show which one pulls it off better and hopefully, the winner won't damage any elements of the opponents efforts. After all, here at Storm Coming and indeed most Marvel fans, we are massively excited for both.
