CinemaSins Demands a Spider-Man/Avengers Crossover

"The only people who don't think a Marvel crossover film is a good idea are the people who can actually make it happen," observes Jeremy, the narrator in CinemaSins's new Dear Hollywood series of shorts.

For the second time in their first two videos, the humor site takes aim at Marvel Studios, as the narrator calls out Marvel and Sony Pictures Entertainment for not making a deal to put Spider-Man and the Avengers in a shared cinematic universe.

Commenters on the YouTube video (embedded below) note that they'd rather see the X-Men in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it's worth noting that Marvel and Sony have frequently come very close to making small crossovers in the past, whereas nobody has heard any credible report of Marvel having such a relationship with Fox.

Back in 2012, reports emerged that The Amazing Spider-Man and The Avengers almost shared a skyline, with Stark Tower appearing in Spidey's movie and Oscorp Tower appearing in Marvel's...but the companies couldn't work out the rights logistics.

The video is also released amid rumors that Marvel and Fox's relationship is so toxic that some Disney stockholders would rather cancel Fantastic Four and Ultimate FF than appear to be supporting Fox's upcoming, Josh Trank-directed movie based on the long-running Marvel Comics series.
