Before all the multiverse shenanigans that are currently going on in the MCU, the X-Men, and the Avengers were separate entities and came from different studios. There were hopes of seeing them reunite on-screen for many years. Even Jackman dreamt of one day seeing all the Marvel characters come together to fight a common enemy, and his 2013 prediction may come true soon.

During an interview for the 2013Wolverinefilm, Jackman made a big prediction about the existing on-screen Marvel heroes, confidently declaring that they would come together one day or another.
