Comic book legend and "Avengers" creator Stan Lee has no doubts about Hollywood studios' money-making ambitions.
In a recent interview in Big Issue, Lee expressed his confidence (http://www.bigissue.com/the-mix/news/6152/stan-lee-interview-imagine-spider-man-saying-may-the-force-be-with-you) that Disney, which owns both the "Star Wars" and Marvel franchises, would eventually combine the two worlds should the amalgam prove financially fruitful.
“Obviously, the people who produce these [movies] are looking to be as successful as possible,” Lee said in the interview. “If they feel that incorporating 'Star Wars' with the Marvel characters will be very successful, they’ll find a way to do it. Can you imagine Spider-Man saying, 'May the force be with you'? It may come to that!”
Imagine the romantic pairings!
Lee's vision may seem far-fetched, but it was only back in 2014 (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=2014/12/07/stan-lee-marvel-superhero-crossover_n_6284438.html) that he wondered if Sony's ownership of Spiderman would prevent the character from appearing alongside other "Avengers." Now, in the upcoming film "Captain America: Civil War," that is becoming reality. (http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Spider-Man-Make-His-Marvel-Debut-Phase-3-Movie-69690.html)
Clearly, times can quickly change.
One step at a "studios-making-deals-about-ownership" time (http://variety.com/2015/film/news/spider-man-marvel-sony-movies-1201429508/), until all known movies exist in, like, a maximum of two universes.
To the future!
