Yeah, that kind of sucks, even though that's what I suspected. Still, I wish the interviewer had pressed a little further, or had thought the question out a bit more to the point where he had asked about some specific characters. What about Namor? Didn't Marvel say he was a mutant? But then, I suppose he pre-existed the X-men by a large degree, so maybe he's a special case. Really though, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch are the most obvious ones to ask about... I would have liked to have seen them name-checked rather than "Dazzler" as the example.

With the announced "X-men: First Class" film being a prequel about Xavier setting up the school and his falling out with Magneto, I wouldn't be surprised to see Wanda and Pietro used in that one now. Sucks, though, since I'd much rather have seen them in an Avengers project.

I guess television deals are a completely different thing, since they do that "Superhero Squad" show with Wolverine and Avengers character and all of the Marvel universe thrown together. Apparently Fox doesn't control cartoon versions, so hopefully Wanda and Pietro will be on the upcoming Avengers series.
