Last year, rumors circulated that Fox was planning on making a crossover film between X-Men and Fantastic Four. Comic writer and reigning 'overseer' of Fox's Marvel films, Mark Millar was even called in. Millar was the start of the rumors. He was quoted telling SFX Magazine, 'Without question I think you have to see some of these guys showing up in each other's movies. I think the most exciting thing in superhero movies, until The Avengers came along, was when Nick Fury showed up in Iron Man.
