'The Jungle Book' Star Neel Sethi Has a Pitch for a Marvel-DC Crossover Movie

Listen up, Marvel Studios and DC Entertainment. The Jungle Book star Neel Sethi has the ultimate pitch for a crossover between your comic book cinematic universes after you get through with your Infinity Wars and Justice League battles. Speaking with Yahoo Movies in a recent Facebook Live session, the 12-year-old — who calls Captain America: Civil War his favorite movie of 2016 — reveals that he’s come up with a story that could potentially unite Henry Cavill’s Man of Steel with Robert Downey Jr.’s Man of Iron. Asked what superhero he’d most like to play, Sethi said, “A mix between DC and Marvel; I’d be a new person who brings [the heroes] together and makes them fight!”

But Sethi’s self-invented character wouldn’t let the slugfest go on forever. “While they’re fighting, I’d be like ‘Stop everybody!’ And then I’d do something that would pull them apart.” Based on his animated gestures while describing this potential sequence, that “something” would involve the actor’s yet-to-be-named hero issuing a giant energy blast that sends Team DC and Team Marvel to their respective corners. Sounds like a must-see blockbuster to us! (Also, now we really need to gift Sethi our back issues of the 1996 miniseries DC vs. Marvel. We still say that Wonder Woman should have whupped Storm.)

Before he dons his superhero get-up though, the young actor is hoping to return to the jungle for The Jungle Book 2, which is reportedly in its early stages after the first film — which arrives on Blu-ray and DVD on Aug. 30 — grossed over $350 million in the U.S. alone. Sethi says he would be thrilled to reunite with director Jon Favreau and not just because he’s a lot like his bear friend Baloo (voiced by Bill Murray in the film). “Jon made grilled cheeses during filming, and they were really good,” he says, laughing.
