“[Ashley Edward Miller] and I, once we had been working at Fox and we had been engaged on X-Males: First Class, we did a secret film for them that — I am unable to let you know what the plot was — however I can let you know that it used all the characters, all the Marvel characters that Fox had on the time in 2011,” Stentz revealed. “It used the X-Males. It used the Improbable 4. It used Daredevil. It used Deadpool. Daredevil was nonetheless at Fox on the time.”

As THR tells it, the hero vs. hero brawl ended with “Reed Richards pinning Wolverine down, extending his palms till they’re one molecule extensive, and utilizing them as scissors to chop the mutant’s arms off.”
They’d develop again, proper?
