This Major X-Men x Avengers Rumour Just Got Crushed

SADFACE.

Bad news for anyone dreaming of a mega Marvel mash-up in Avengers: Infinity War, as co-director Joe Russo has just indicated that the X-Men will not be involved in the story in any capacity. Sadface.

Rumours of Professor X, Wolverine and co. joining the fight against Thanos have been kicking around ever since Marvel brought Spider-Man back into the fold, but according to Russo, that’s as much as we can probably hope for…

“As far as we know, right now there isn't talk regarding the X-Men,” says Russo. “I don't know if behind-the-scenes there were conversations or if there are conversations happening but we certainly haven't heard of any.”

And given that he’s directing, he should probably know!

Guess we’ll just to have to keep our fingers crossed that the Guardians Of The Galaxy might still be turning up, as alluded to by Vin Diesel last week. We want our crossover, dammit, and we want it now…

With or without any new additions, Avengers: Infinity War will open in the UK on 27 April 2018.
