Joe Russo wants Wolverine in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Flickering Myth’s Oli Davis sat down with directors Anthony and Joe Russo to talk about their movie Captain America: Civil War yesterday. Well, we say ‘sat down to talk’, what we really mean is, ‘completely geeked out about how much he enjoyed their portrayal of Spider-Man’.
“I started collecting comics when I was 10,” Joe remembered, “so Spider-Man was my favourite character. [Civil War’s] interpretation of the character is based on how I felt about the character as a child. There was an incredible relate-ability to the fact he was a 16-year-old dealing with girls, acne and high-school problems while he was also this incredibly powerful Marvel superhero.”
When the Russos first started making Captain America: Civil War, however, Marvel did not have permission to use the Spider-Man character. Sony held the movie rights to Peter Parker and his associated characters because of Marvel’s fire-sale in the 90s to avoid bankruptcy. In early 2015, however, Marvel and Sony struck a joint-custody deal of the intellectual property.
With Spider-Man suddenly dropping into their laps, Joe spoke about what other character he’d love to have in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that the studio currently do not have permission to use.
