Stan Lee imagines a Star Wars, Marvel crossover

With Disney now owning both Star Wars and Marvel, the possibilities are endless — including a possible crossover of the two behemoth franchises, according to comic book legend Stan Lee.

“Obviously the people who produce these [movies] are looking to be as successful as possible,” Lee told The Big Issue. “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!”"

It may sound crazy, especially given the work that'd have to go in to set up such a crossover between the Star Wars and Marvel Cinematic Universe, but I'm sure someone once thought uniting all these Marvel characters into the Avengers was crazy too. Point being, never say never, especially when there's the potential to generate boat loads of money.

“It’ll be the most expensive film ever produced!” Lee continued. “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.”

Lee, of course, is looking at it through more of a fanboy's eyes.

“I created the Avengers by taking many of our characters and making a team out of them,” Lee says. “We can have as many characters join the Avengers as we want to for future movies. That might be fun, all of a sudden Luke Skywalker is an Avenger!”
