It's easy to forget that as far as superheroes in film go, Marvel and DC aren't the only ones with a shared universe. 20th Century Fox has its own roster to work with and thanks to Empire Online, we have a picture of some of those characters side-by-side. Now, they may not all be mutants, but each one has their role to play in the upcoming DEADPOOL and X-MEN: APOCALYPSE films. The Fantasic Four are M.I.A…I wonder why?

The characters, from left to right:
T.J. Miller (Weasel), James McAvoy (Prof. X), Michael Fassbender (Magneto), Channing Tatum (Gambit), Ed Skrein (Ajax), (Angel Dust), Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique), Hugh Jackman (Wolverine), Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool), Brianna Hildebrand (Negasonic Teenage Warhead), Oscar Isaac (Apocalypse), Evan Peters (Quicksilver), Nicholas Hoult (Beast), Olivia Munn (Psylocke).
If DEADPOOL proves to be a success, I would love to see him play with more X-Men in the future. It's his interactions with everyone else that make him such a fun character, and exactly what the X-Men series needs if Wolverine is going to be elsewhere for the time being (good luck recasting that!).
DEADPOOL hits theaters on February 12th while X-MEN: APOCALYPSE arrives on May 27th.
