How Marvel Should Do A MCU Movies & Netflix Crossover
Daredevil, Black Widow and Spider-Man together on one screen. Here's how Marvel make it happen.
For True Believers the world over, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is truly something to behold. It condenses almost eighty years' worth of comic book history into one, easily accessible and epic live action package, providing what no other comic book movie franchise has done before by spotlighting crossovers and team-ups in one, interconnected continuity.
Everything truly is 'all connected', but to say that Marvel Studios' decade-long endeavour has gotten everything right would erase key aspects of its history. When it comes to Marvel TV, problems largely stem from how the MCU has managed its own growth, and in particular, how its manufactured interconnectivity between those bigger, more significant silver screen productions, and their Netflix counterparts. References are a one-way street, and the chances of seeing Charlie Cox's Daredevil fight alongside Scarlet Johansson's Black Widow, or even Tom Holland's Peter Parker, are next-to-none - at least for now.
Unfortunately for those characters, they've found themselves the victim of behind-the-scenes drama, with relations between Marvel TV and Marvel Studios said to be strained. However, just because the chances of a Netflix-Movie crossover are slim, doesn't mean there isn't a clear route to make it happen.
There's genuine scope to foster meaningful connections between Marvel Studios and Marvel TV, and here's how they can do it.
