The Skrulls Might Appear In The Marvel Cinematic Universe

 

There are a large number of Marvel characters who no one is quite sure whether or not Marvel Studios can use, with one of the most prolific being the shapeshifting alien race known as the Skrulls.
Just like Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver can appear in both The Avengers and X-Men franchises, it appears as if the same can be said for the Skrull. Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn took part in a Twitter Q&A recently, and made it clear that while 20th Century Fox owns some specific Skrulls,  the aliens are in fact co-owned. Why then they haven’t shown up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe yet is hard to say, though if Marvel is unable to use the Super Skrulls then they might just be reluctant to put the spotlight on a race of aliens who can do little more than change what they look like despite that having a fair bit of storytelling potential.
