In the comics, yes. Not in film though. I don’t think they had any film crossovers before that.

There was no X-Men/Blade/Spider-Man mingling for example, but they were also from different studios (Fox, New Line, and Sony Pictures respectively).

Hasn’t happened yet, but that sort of thing is planned now that Disney has the Fox stuff. And they did get Spider-Man to fight Thanos despite originally being a Sony property.

So far the ultimate crossover has been in Deadpool and Wolverine. There you have the X-Men, Avengers, Fantastic Four (Johnny Storm at least) and Blade all in one film. They even brought in Elektra from those awful films. It took them a while to get the rights all squared away, but we get to benefit from Disney’s ridiculous power in order to cameo the crap out of a movie.

Do TV movies count?

183

Yeah Kang Poochied back to his home planet because of the actor’s troubles. The What If Cartoon implied that the team from that show (The Exiles?) defeated him off camera.

184

I considered it, but that wasn’t the crossover of the Hulk/Thor/Daredevil TV or film series, because only Hulk had a series. They wanted to spin off something with Daredevil and/or Thor but it didn’t happen. It was a failed backdoor pilot.

I still remember for a long time thinking it was cool we actually got some kind of live action Daredevil and Thor, even if I had to wait until Netflix made a decent Daredevil, and we didn’t see a proper Thor (IMHO) until Hemsworth.

(I try to forget the Ben Affleck debacle.)

185

I thought it was the Loki show.

186

And, as a huge Daredevil fan, I admit I peed myself a little at his appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home.

187

Reasonable. How about cartoons, then?

This was a cross-over between the Spider-Man cartoon and the X-Men cartoon from the mid 90s.

188

Okay, that’s not fair. The 90s X-Men cartoon is its own level of awesomeness and it’s unfair to compare that to anything.

:winking_face_with_tongue:

(But that is a cool crossover, yes.)

I remember way back when the writers could get a fanboy audience to Go Fucking Nuts by just having Val Kilmer ask: “Where will you go? The circus must be halfway to Metropolis by now…”
