Director James Gunn talked to Marvel and DC about a Guardians of the Galaxy and a Suicide Squad crossover. Throughout the years, characters from both Marvel and DC Comics have only collided a handful of times in comic books. The most recent (and most famous) crossover between the two rival companies happened about eighteen years ago.
Both companies jointly published “DC vs. Marvel” and “JLA/Avengers” comics in 1996 and 2003. Both of these issues feature iconic crossover moments, such as Darkseid wielding the Infinity Gauntlet and Wonder Woman lifting Thor’s hammer. In addition to these comics, Marvel and DC also published a crossover of Superman and Spider-Man under the appropriately named title, “Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man” in March of 1976. A few years later, in 1980, both companies also published another crossover comic called “Marvel Treasuring Edition #28” that saw Superman once again collide with Spider-Man. While these crossovers all happened within comic books, it seems the creative minds behind both companies have thought about a crossover in a live-action film.
In response to a fan on Twitter, Gunn revealed that he did in fact talk to Marvel and DC about doing a Guardians of the Galaxy and Suicide Squad crossover. Though Gunn mentions that he just “casually talked to the powers-that-be” about the crossover, he goes on to say that while it’s very unlikely to actually happen, it isn’t exactly an impossibility either. Gunn also followed up his tweet stating that he prefers a strong story rather than seeing constant crossovers and mashups. View the full tweet below:
I’ve casually talked to the powers-that-be at both Marvel & DC about it. I would love for it to happen. I don’t think it’s likely, but I don’t think it’s an impossibility either. THAT SAID, just constantly seeing crossovers & mashups is less enchanting to me than a strong story. https://t.co/mJ8GQzSI4j
President of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige, has denied the possibility of a crossover between Marvel and Star Wars; however, he has not explicitly denied the possibility of collaborating with DC Comics. Such a crossover is very unlikely to happen, though, as the logistics would be quite complicated. Contracts would require precise stipulations that would have to include a fair or equal amount of screen time for each character. The two rival studios would even need to draw up contracts for merchandising rights, since such an event would result in a slew of new merchandise. Gunn even mentions a bigger factor against a crossover, that being forgoing a strong and compelling story for a simple mashup of characters.
From Gunn’s tweet, it is clear that he is not a fan of crossovers, even though he was the one to bring it up to both Marvel and DC. While it would be cool to see Superman share the big screen with Spider-Man in a live-action setting, as Gunn points out, making a crossover for the sake of making a crossover would be rather pointless. Though the idea is not impossible, seeing a character from Guardians of the Galaxy and Suicide Squad collide with each other will more than likely never happen.
