Wasn't someone saying that they had a storyline in the comics like this?

If Doom is to become the big bad capable of fighting a bunch of Avengers? The storyline that they haven't used is the Secret Wars.

That would make sense if the Beyonder brings back Stark, Scarlett Witch, even Ultron, Loki, or Thanos. The original Secret Wars did that type of thing where some dead characters were brought back by the Beyonder to fight on the Battle Planet.

That's a complicated story and probably does the best with the more familiar characters so the audience can keep up.

Now. What movies do I need to watch before May 2026?


I haven’t watched a single MCU movie after End Game aside from that multiverse spider man movie. I will probably just go straight into this one without catching up. MCU/Disney must have realized they need that evil white man for these movies going forward.

Pretty sure they confirmed it was in an alternate universe set in the 60s


Oh right on then. I did not see that.

Gotta give Disney credit where credit is due. Interest in the MCU was dying so they made the decision to throw a bunch of money at the likes of Hugh Jackman and Robert Downey Jr. to bring them back to the IP to save their golden calf from ultimate ruin.

How are they going to tie up the Kang loose ends left by Loki and Quantumania?

Will completely depend on if they also eject the DEI stuff from all of the MCU projects.

Hulk
Sam Capt America
Thor
Shuri Black Panther
Dr. Strange
Spider Man
Star lord (pretty obvious at end of GOTG 3)
Remaing GOTG should be in Secret Wars but what about Doom?
Vision ? (Did they ever answer where White Vision is after WandaVision?)
Capt Marvel (When did Larson say she was done?)
Ant Man
Wasp
Hopefully Deadpool but with less talking to the 4th dimension

Didn’t they announce something about a Scarlet Witch movie? Are we assuming Agatha show will lead into that?

Also, Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Thing but not official Avengers

Last question/comment: is there any way they make Secret Wars a two movie event like Infinity Wars/End Game? Or would they have already announced that?

The two avengers movies in two years suggests it’s kind of a two part event

Yeah I just feel like in the comics there’s just so much to Secret Wars that it could be two movies.

I’ve never read the comics but just hard to believe they’d go for three avengers movies in 3 years, unless they really spread out secret wars part 1 and 2

Yeah I’m not a big fan of this announcement, I’ll wait for more details but this is a head scratcher and kinda seems like a slap in the face to the fans.




I'm pretty skeptical at this point but I was even more skeptical when I heard they were making the first Guardians movie. I thought that was a sure-fire disaster but I was very wrong.

Marvel ended the multiverse with a Deadpool parody. It’s fricking genius. Bravo


I feel like if anything, they went even deeper into the multi verse concept with Deadpool and this news

Doom ripping out Thanos’ spine in Secret Wars better happen because it’s gonna hit even harder knowing Iron Man’s sacrifice in endgame


I feel like that cheapens iron man’s ending even more

It’s like a wrestler getting squashed to end a run of popularity. Thanos getting smacked like a bug would feel pretty weird after how much the built him into an all time villain.


Whose Marvel is it anyway, where everything is made up and deaths don’t matter

They should have just cast Denzel if they wanted an elite actor. The story telling will have to be next level to pull this off and I'm not convinced Hollywood has it in them.

When you see RDJ you will always think Iron Man. Hell they could have even went with Cruise.
