The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Multiverse Saga has been bumpy in sure locations, however its conclusion is ready to be a grand sight to behold. Collectively, the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars will function the conclusion to this chapter of the MCU. Few particular plot particulars are recognized in regards to the films, although it’s been stated that they’ll have multiversal ramifications. Producer Kevin Feige not too long ago teased the upcoming Secret Wars, saying that it gained’t be about “endings” like Endgame was.
Avengers: Endgame marked the top of an period within the MCU, with sure characters taking their closing bows and others transferring in the direction of larger prominence. Whereas the Marvel film’s ending could also be considerably divisive in some circles, quite a lot of Endgame evaluations had been fairly constructive. Many hailed it as a satisfying conclusion to the large story arc that started with 2008’s Iron Man. On the subject of the sixth Avengers film, Kevin Feige, mentioned how Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribić’s 2015 Secret Wars run will inform the story:
We’re using that [story] not simply to spherical out the tales we’ve been telling post-Endgame, simply as importantly — and you’ll take a look at the Secret Wars comics for the place that takes you — it very, very a lot units us up for the longer term.
2015’s Secret Wars is an enormous story that marks the destruction of assorted universes throughout the multiverse. On the middle of the story is Physician Doom, who steals energy from the Beyonders and creates a Battleworld (a spot made up of a group of Earths) of his personal. He’s ultimately overthrown, nevertheless, by Reed Richards and extra. Absolutely, as with each MCU manufacturing, the 2027 film of the identical identify will differ from the supply materials. But, as Kevin Feige advised members of the press (by way of Selection), one factor will stay the identical:
Endgame, actually, was about endings. Secret Wars is about beginnings.
It’s true that SW did mark the start of a brand new period in Marvel Comics. Whereas some universes had been destroyed, others had been modified. Most notably, even Miles Morales (Spider-Man) and his allies had been built-in into the principle Earth-616 universe continuity. (Don’t anticipate Miles to hitch the MCU quickly, although, per Kevin Feige). So, if something, the movie model will extra so reset the board within the cinematic universe, so to talk, than it would usher ultimately of long-running storylines and characters.
After all, followers nonetheless have loads of time earlier than Secret Wars arrives in theaters. There may be, in any case, the matter of Doomsday, which can see Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and their allies taking up Physician Doom. Robert Downey Jr. is ready to play the enduring comedian e-book villain and, based mostly on all accounts, Downey is de facto committing to crafting the function. At this level, I’m wanting to get just a few extra small plot particulars on the movie, although I wouldn’t anticipate specifics on how younger Franklin Richards will determine into the story.
What I’m finally hoping for with each Avengers movies, although, is that they supply cohesive narratives that improve the MCU, real catharsis and naturally, some wonderful spectacle. Followers will have the ability to see the scope of Kevin Feige and co.’s plans when Doomsday opens in theaters on December 18, 2026, and Secret Wars arrives on December 17, 2027. Within the meantime, stream Marvel films utilizing a Disney+ subscription.
