Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Marvel has three distribution deals, right? One for mutants, one for Spider-Man, and one for everyone else? Or is there a fourth group that covers the Fantastic Four?
There are talks about a Black Panther movie, and I'm trying to work out if he falls into the "everything else" continuity (which is the most lucrative) despite being married to a mutant.
Looking at the IMDB pages isn't the most informative, since there are a shitload of movies listed. I just know Disney is associated with "everything else=Avengers".

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Do these distribution deals mean that Spider-Man and the FF won't ever appear with The Avengers on the big screen? Because that would be fine with me, actually.

I would imagine Black Panther would be part of the Avengers pool of potential characteres, since that's the team he was a member of.
I read recently that Scarlet Witch is available for use by either the X-Men or Avengers franchise (but presumably not both once she appears in one or the other).

Sting's daughter is going to play Patti Smith in a movie about CBGB's.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
That movie sounds awesome. Slightly sad that Talking Heads don't seem to be in it, but I can't have everything....
eta: For those who don't know, CBGB's was arguably the epicenter of the American punk explosion that started with the Ramones in '76 (or maybe earlier?).

The Ramones played their first gigs at CBGB in ’73 or ’74. They went there because that’s where Television was playing.

Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd actually built the stage at CBGBs, which (of course) originally stood for Country Blue Grass and Blues.
