Bryan Singer can’t leave it alone. Trank’s rebooted Fantastic Four has yet to hit cinemas, but already the X-Men director is keen on having Marvel’s first family play part in an X-Men / Fantastic Four crossover feature. Aparently, according to Singer, talks have already begun, according to an interview he had with Yahoo! Movies:

Those ideas are in play. That would be a natural match-up because they’re both ensemble films and there is a natural mechanism by which to do it

Steady there, Bryan, let’s see how your Apocalypse fears. It was eventually going to happen. A matter of… shall we say… time[travel]. We saw it coming.

Time travel. Great for confusing timelines, both narratively and space-time continuums. And with massive characters from both superheroed teams vying for the spotlight, would a crossover in a feature format do more harm than good. And who would direct. Singer or Trank? And wasn’t X-Men being scheduled for a reboot too?

In any case, a crossover would be interesting to see in the least. But we are sure Marvel ain’t particularly pleased about this news.

20th Century Fox’s X-Men Apocalypse is directed by Bryan Singer and stars Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Nicholas Hoult, Evan Peters, Ian McKellen, Rose Byrne, Sophie Turner, Tye Sheridan, Alexandra Shipp and Oscar Issac.

The cast includes Miles Teller as Mr. Fantastic, Michael B. Jordan as Johnny Storm, Kate Mara as Sue Storm, Jamie Bell as Benjamin Grimm, Toby Kebbell as DOOM.
