Hugh Jackman is BACK as Wolverine in first Logan trailer
Fans will be aware that different film studios own the movie rights to certain Marvel characters, in a plethora of legal complications.
Disney have the main Avengers like Captain America and Iron Man with 14 films to date, while 20th Century Fox has the rights to the X-Men and Fantastic Four.
While the likes of Wolverine and Professor X are used to teaming up with the Avengers in the comics, they have never shared the big screen together because of these studio difficulties.
Now the President of Marvel Studios, Feige, has spoken about the possibility of the X-Men entering into the billion-dollar Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Speaking with Variety, Feige said: “It’s an impossibility at this juncture. We certainly have enough films to keep us busy for a number of lifetimes.”
Earlier this year Avengers: Infinity War directors Joe and Anthony Russo were asked the same question as Feige.
Joe Russo said: “As far as we know, right now there isn't talk regarding the X-Men.
“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.
“Sony and Marvel had a relationship through Kevin [Feige] and Amy [Pascal] and through us and Amy.”
“That's really how Spider-Man came about. It requires a certain alchemy and a very special situation for studios to share properties.”
While fans may find this news disappointing, the Marvel boss certainly hasn’t ruled it out entirely.
As The Russos said, if there’s any hope its the example of Spider-Man, whose rights were owned by Sony.
