Give Us An Avengers Vs. X-Men Movie
This is the big one. Now that the Avengers and the X-Men both fall under the same corporate umbrella, we need to have a big crossover movie in which the two meet – and comic book law dictates that two superhero teams must lay into each other first before they join forces. The perfect source material to build such a movie around, then, would be Avengers vs. X-Men.
What makes the comic such an obvious choice to adapt is that, apart from having a snappy, box office-baiting title, its story would fit in with where the X-Men franchise is at right now. In the source material, the conflict heats up over the threat of the Phoenix Force. The same destructive entity that is just being reintroduced to moviegoers in next year’s X-Men: Dark Phoenix.
Other than that, the animosity between the two superhero teams could work even better in a film version as, depending on how the blending of the franchises is handled, this movie could be the first time they meet, which would obviously cause hostilities as both sides would fear the other.
Marvel fans have dreamed of the day when they could see Avengers rubbing shoulders with X-Men on the big screen, so it just has to happen. No doubt Disney execs are smart enough to cotton onto this, too.
