If you think Deadpool & Wolverine was the peak of nostalgia, buckle up. For years, Kevin Feige has reportedly wanted to see the Kings of the 2000s share the screen, and per a new reports from one of the internets busiest bees, that moment is coming at the literal start of the next Avengers epic.
As we move through March 2026, the multiversal floodgates have officially opened. While the rumor mill was initially focused on these two clashing in Avengers: Doomsday, a new report suggests that Marvel Studios and Sony are looking far beyond a simple cameo.
According to industry scooper MyTimeToShineHello, Marvel and Sony are reportedly in early discussions to develop a standalone Spider-Man and Wolverine team-up movie, starring Hugh Jackman and Tobey Maguire.
Marvel is reportedly looking at the massive success of Deadpool & Wolverine as proof of concept for high-stakes legacy team-ups. Instead of just being part of the massive Avengers ensemble, this standalone project would allow for a deep dive into the dynamic between these two specific icons, who have so often co-inhabited Marvel Comics stories.
Interestingly, Jackman once revealed that a Wolverine cameo was actually planned for Sam Raimi‘s 2002 Spider-Man, but fell through because the crew couldn’t access his suit. This movie would essentially be the 25-year payoff for that lost moment. Other rumors have suggested that Maguire and Jackman are being positioned as the main protagonists of Avengers: Secret Wars. A standalone film could serve as the bridge or prequel to their roles in that event and would almost certainly own the box office for weeks.
We really tried to get me to come on and do something, whether it was a gag or just to walk through the shot or something. The problem was, we couldn’t find the suit. The suit was stuck in some thing. And so when they were in New York when I was there, we couldn’t get it together.

A standalone Spider-Man and Wolverine movie could potentially take place on Battleworld, featuring the two heroes navigating Doom’s patchwork reality before the final showdown in Secret Wars…or, given recent comments by both actors, it could simply be engagement bait.
