X-Men & Fantastic Four Joining Marvel Cinematic Universe Is an 'Impossibility' for Now

After years of Sony holding the Spider-Man rights in its clutches (and producing a barrel of non-good movies with 'em), Marvel was finally able to welcome the web-slinger into its capacious Cinematic Universe earlier this year. After young actor Tom Holland's Captain America: Civil War introduction, a standalone MCU movie, Spider-Man: Homecoming, will arrive in 2017.

So, after Spidey, will more comic book icons be welcomed from their distant homes into the loving arms of Marvel Studios proper? Like, say, the X-Men (who are doing okay on their own so far), or the Fantastic Four (who are very much not)? "It’s an impossibility at this juncture," president Kevin Feige tells Variety in a wide-ranging new interview. "We certainly have enough films to keep us busy for a number of lifetimes."
