Will we ever see Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Wolverine in the same movie?

Always feel like something is missing from the MCU movies without the X Universe and all the rest. Do you guys ever think we will see all these characters in one movie? Maybe once the current contracts run out with the different companies?

Even if Marvel were to get the X-Men rights back from FOX, I still can't see this happening until Marvel reaches the point where they decide to reboot their entire cinematic universe and start it over from scratch - and I don't see that happening for a couple of decades, honestly.

Marvel's simply too invested in furthering storylines and exploring corners of their universe that need the foundation of the thirteen movies they've done so far in order to build upon. And the way things stand now, introducing mutants and the X-Men would just overly complicate the MCU. They'd have to compete for the same space and storylines the MCU is already dedicating to the Inhumans. And that would just serve to dilute both properties. There really isn't room in a movie shared universe for two separate human subspecies with their own communities and powers that make them discriminated against. They'd just get in each other's way.

Honestly, we've passed the point where Marvel really needs or wants the concept of mutants for their movie universe. That slot has been filled. The only appeal the X-Men properties hold for them now are the characters themselves. Meaning, if FOX did sell the X-Men rights back to Marvel, IF we saw them used before a universal reboot, it would probably be with them re-imagined as a team of Inhumans themselves. Or at least the big guns like Wolverine, Storm, Gambit, Magneto, etc would all be introduced as Inhumans rather than mutants. And I personally would really rather not see that happen, but its a business.

Only in an animated one.

I prefer the X-Men being in their own cinematic universe. That being said, I wouldn't mind some sort of crossover film provided its clear that its some sort of cosmic dimension overlap (like the Convergence in Thor) with the characters going to their own universe in the end.

Spiderman works pretty well in his own 'verse too but if he is to be shoehorned into MCU that's fine.

So in short, I don't really need a movie with Iron Man, Spidey and Wolverine in it.. although upon further reflection, a film with just those three heroes could be interesting. I think Spidey and Stark would get along well but both would annoy the heck out of Wolverine.

Spider-Man and Iron Man is rumored to appear in Cap: Civil War.

Hell to the naw. Not unless Fox reboots their X-Men franchise and partners with Marvel/Sony and I dont see that happening for a very very very long time. Still it would be nice to have the gang all together and X-Men finally done right.

[ImprobableQuestion]

I hope not. If Marvel gets the X-Men back too then we'll never see characters like Captain Marvel or Black Panther showing up.

Not in our lifetimes, that's for sure. Don't get me wrong. I'd love to see Wolverine in an Avengers movie. Hugh Jackman himself has said that he would love to be part of that movie. But given the current relationship between Fox and Marvel, it's just not happening. So long as Fox keeps churning out X-men and Fantastic 4 movies, they keep the rights. It doesn't matter how terrible those movies are. So long as they turn a profit, they have no reason to work with Marvel. It's frustrating, but that's how these legal issues go. Marvel made some bad decisions when they were bankrupt. This one is probably going to haunt them for decades to come.

Fox will never let go of this cash cow.
