Yes, you read that correctly, the father of Marvel Comic‘s most successful titles — Stan Lee — would like to see a Star Wars and Avengers titles, and while thinking that an event like that would be fun, he even thinks it could actually happen. Here’s what the legend himself, said:
"“Obviously the people who produce these [movies] are looking to be as successful as possible. If they feel that incorporating Star Wars with the Marvel characters will be very successful, they’ll find a way to do it. Can you imagine Spider-Man saying, “May the force be with you”? It may come to that!”"
Now, I am most certainly not going to bash Stan Lee for making a comment like this, but as a diehard fan of both Marvel and Star Wars, I can tell you that there is nothing I find appealing about a crossover between the two. In fact, I think it would be complete and total garbage that would be a deathknell for Disney’s money-makers.
In the interview with The Big Issue, Lee furthered expounded on his comments:
"“It’ll be the most expensive film ever produced! I don’t know how many characters you can have in a movie but anything that the public want to see you can be sure it will eventually be produced.”"
Again, I respectively disagree with Mr. Lee, here. While the idea of a Star Wars and Marvel crossover may appeal to some fat-cat suit sitting behind a desk looking at numbers all day, the general public would despise an event of this magnitude. Here’s hoping that common sense takes over and these two genres never meet.
