X-Men and Fantastic Four Crossover in the Works?

What will happen when the X-Men and Fantastic Four meet and merge?

X-Men actor Shawn Ashmore, who plays the role of Bobby Drake also known as Iceman, thinks it would be just great.

In an interview with ComicBook.com, Ashmore said that the union will create several great possibilities, and breathe new life to both stories.

"Well, what I'm about to propose is not totally out of the realm of possibility because it's the same studio, but I'm excited to see the new Fantastic Four. That's what I really want to see, that's what I'm really curious about," he said.

The actor then said it would be dope to see a little crossover between the X-Men, maybe some Fantastic Four, maybe Bobby flying around with The Fantastic Four one of these days. That would be cool, wouldn't it?

The idea once seemed to be totally far-fetched, since producer and screenwriter Simon Kinberg said that both the X-Men and Fantastic Four "live in discreet universes."

But now, the tides have changed and Ashmore is not the only one entertaining the idea of a union. 20^th Century Fox is reportedly considering the idea so Bobby flying around with the Fantastic Four just might be possible in the future.

Ashmore added that the differences between X-Men and the Fantastic Four would open up new doors for all the characters involved. Together, they can deal with their superpowers and create emotional depth to the storyline.

"What I've always liked about Fantastic Four, and it's completely opposite from the X-Men, is that these are not people that are born with these abilities and learned to deal with them. It's not their given gift, it's something that they achieve. I think it's almost more jarring than being born with something and realizing you can do it. I think that's an interesting dilemma," he said.

Growing up, Ashmore loved the characters of Nightcrawler and the Ghost Rider. "I would love to see another incarnation of Ghost Rider. It's such a scary dark image and spirit of vengeance. It's a great character. That's what I'd like to see more of," he shared.

And as for the Avengers, his favourite is hands down the terrifying green monster of Dr. Bruce Banner.

"From the Avengers though, to be honest, I would love Hulk. It's such a dynamite character, such an interesting character, so I think to interact with a character like that who's such a force to be reckoned with would be kind of cool," he said.
