Like all Marvel fans around the world, we all love crossovers, and Wong is one of us too. The 51-year-old actor recently spoke to JOE about two Marvel Universe characters he’d like to crossover with-
“Oh wow…I would love to work with Samuel L. Jackson…what other worlds are we…I mean, if the X-Men are ever around, I’d love to hang out with the X-Men…I’m a huge fan of Marvel comics at the time and obviously I always remembered the secret wars, where everyone was involved… Who else? X-Force, Nightcrawler, all that. What I love about it and thank the MCU… [I have] journey into the portal world… so the more the better.
Nick Fury and Wong already seem like a perfect match since both take things very seriously while maintaining a certain sense of humor. As for Nightcrawler, the mutant’s playful personality probably won’t bode well with Wong in the MCU, but they might share a good laugh once in a while.

The Marco Polo The star is very interested in the idea of a solo film for Wong as he talks about it in his latest interview with The Hollywood Reporter-
“You know, a lot of people have said that. Yeah, I could definitely think of a few ideas. But hey, it’s not for me to push this. If you ever see anyone, send the question over there I mean, listen, I love playing this role, and I think there’s so many more possibilities that we could get into with a show, yeah.
It’s a no-brainer that he loves his role as Wong, isn’t it? That’s pretty much a yes from Wong’s side about a solo movie for the character, and Marvel needs to play their cards fast if they want to make big bucks from Wong’s popularity!
