As a seasoned moviegoer who has witnessed the rise and fall of countless cinematic universes, I must say that Marvel Studios’ approach to their upcoming finale, Avengers: Secret Wars, fills me with a renewed sense of hope and anticipation. Having been left somewhat disillusioned by the occasional missteps the MCU has taken in recent years, Kevin Feige’s promise of a well-planned narrative arc for Secret Wars is music to my ears.
For numerous enthusiasts, “Avengers: Endgame” symbolized the culmination of a period, providing a fulfilling resolution to narratives and character developments that had been evolving for close to a decade. As Marvel Studios’ “Avengers: Secret Wars” edges closer to its grand finale, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige is suggesting significant departures between this upcoming “Secret Wars” and the previous “Avengers: Endgame.” These differences could potentially reshape the future of the MCU in unprecedented ways.
After wrapping up the Infinity Saga in 2019, it’s clear that the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has faced some bumpy paths. Movies such as “The Marvels” and “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” underperformed at the box office, and there’s been a growing chorus of criticism over the abundance of MCU TV shows. However, anticipation for the two-part conclusion to the Multiverse Saga – “Avengers: Doomsday” in 2026 and “Avengers: Secret Wars” in 2027 – has largely stayed strong. Marvel appears to be changing tactics as they approach the end of Phase 6, aiming to avoid past errors with the franchise. At D23 Brazil, Feige shared with Omelete:
As a movie enthusiast, reflecting back on the journey towards “Avengers: Endgame” years ago, it was all about reaching our grand narrative’s climax. Post that epic conclusion, we had to start from scratch again. This time, as we march toward “Secret Wars,” we have a clearer understanding of where the story is headed and what lies beyond. The X-Men play a significant role in the future that unfolds from that point onward.
For those Marvel enthusiasts who felt that recent projects seemed somewhat fragmented, Feige’s remarks provide a highly encouraging update. While the finale of Endgame appeared to leave the franchise in a bit of a rut, it appears that Secret Wars will serve not just as a resolution to the enigmas that have been developing since the start of the Multiverse Saga, but also as a stepping stone for future narratives. At the very minimum, this suggests that the post-credit scene in Secret Wars is likely to leave fans in suspense until Phase Seven, potentially on the edge of their seats.
Can Avengers: Secret Wars Turn the Tide for Marvel Studios?
Despite high anticipation surrounding “Doomsday” and “Secret Wars,” Phase Six’s final installments, these movies have encountered some challenges. Last year, Disney dismissed Jonathan Majors from his role as Kang the Conqueror following domestic assault charges, creating a significant plot hole for “Avengers: Doomsday.” Although Marvel swiftly replaced him with Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, this shift has somewhat derailed the conclusion of the Multiverse Saga, with less than two years until “Doomsday’s” projected release. However, the Russo Brothers are scheduled to helm both films, offering a glimmer of hope for Marvel enthusiasts due to their past success within the franchise.
Regrettably, there isn’t much information available yet on the movies titled Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, beyond what’s known about their production. At this stage, fans can only guess which characters might show up and how significant their roles may be. However, considering the enormous popularity of characters like Deadpool and Wolverine, it’s likely that Marvel could include numerous cameos. Since Kevin Feige has confirmed that the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is on a carefully planned course, fans can expect a fitting end to the Multiverse storyline, at the very least.
