It's the Marvel / DC movie crossover that none of us expected, as Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige and DC Films Head Geoff Johns sat down together, in order to pay homage to the Godfather to this entire blockbuster superhero movie genre: Richard Donner.

Donner's work was honored at The Academy of Arts and Sciences (home of The Oscars), and a laundry list of big celebs all came out to honor the Superman, Lethal Weapon, Goonies, director. His work on Superman, Superman II, and Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut was what brought Feige and Johns out, for a rare sit-down and join photo for these competing superhero movie studios.

Comic book movie fans will geek out over the photo above; do you think Feige and Johns talked about anything exciting like an eventual DC vs Marvel crossover project? (Probably not, but it's fun to hope!)

DC Films and Marvel are both having good starts to summer, thanks to Wonder Woman and Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2, respectively. Marvel will release Thor: Ragnarok in the fall, and DC Films will put out Justice League a few weeks later. Let us know how you feel about the upcoming films by rating your anticipation, below!
