Warning: This post contains potential spoilers for Avengers: Secret Wars.
A new rumored plot for Marvel’s Avengers: Secret Wars has leaked online. The alleged plot was shared on Reddit and is rumored to be legitimate.
On X, user MyTimeToShineHello shared the leaked Avengers: Secret Wars plot details:
A year has passed since Battleworld was created by Doctor Doom. Most of its residents have no memory of the old world, with only a few exceptions. Everyone on Battleworld—whose society is medieval and feudal—believes it has always existed. Their past lives have been rewritten into new roles, such as barons, rulers, and citizens of various domains.
However, all three Spider-Men remember the old world, as do Namor, the Young Avengers, Vision, She-Hulk, Deadpool, Sadie Sink’s Jean Grey, Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, Reed Richards, and Sentry. They form a resistance after realizing that Doom is not just a ruler—he is the force sustaining reality itself. Battleworld exists because Doom is actively maintaining it using Loki’s stolen powers.
They break into different Battleworld domains. They split up and:
- Travel through different domains, each acting as a fragmented version of old universes.
- Search for weaknesses in Doom’s structure.
- Recruit allies who are beginning to “glitch” by regaining their memories or questioning reality.
Doom commands an army of Thors, with Doctor Strange serving as his second-in-command. He also has his coven of witches and, of course, Loki’s stolen powers. Yelena serves as his third-in-command, though she has no powers. Sentry is captured and held under lock and key. Another key figure Doom keeps imprisoned is Steve Rogers, the only person whose memory he deliberately preserved. Doom hates Steve and wants him to witness his victory—to see that Doom has won and built a new “family,” while Steve has lost everything.
Instead of attacking Doom directly, the resistance focuses on turning his forces against him. She-Hulk gathers the Hulks, Deadpool manages to restore Thor’s memories, and the Young Avengers unite the mutant population. Tom Holland’s Spider-Man rallies New York, while Reed Richards gathers the remaining members of the Future Foundation.
Meanwhile, Tobey Maguire, Hugh Jackman, and Steve Rogers—who escapes Doom’s prison with Yelena’s help—set out on a mission to find Loki. Since Doom restored everyone, Loki is alive as well, and he is the only one capable of reclaiming Doom’s stolen power.
Loki is found in an Asgardian domain that has become a casino—a shady, corrupt version of Asgard. There, they encounter Sylvie, Mobius, O.B., and other TVA members working in the casino. Loki is the manager, but he refuses to believe their story and throws them out.
At their lowest point, they discover someone unexpected: Tony Stark. He is a miserable drunk, gambling away his life in the casino, and initially refuses to join them. Eventually, they convince him, and then they convince Loki as well.
In the final battle, armies from across Battleworld gather to storm Doom’s castle. Thor and the Hulks fight against the army of Thors, while Sam leads the resistance against the witches, Doombots, and the rest of Doom’s forces.
Reed Richards, Yelena, Sue (who now remembers everything), Steve Rogers, Hulk, She-Hulk, Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, Sentry, Loki, Iron Man, Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, and Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man all confront Doom directly.
Doom overwhelms them, defeating them brutally, and they are nearly killed. Reed and Sue try to reason with him, telling him that he is grieving for his family and that Battleworld is not the answer. He is briefly convinced, but ultimately rejects their argument and attacks them again.
They are saved at the last moment by Tobey, Hugh, and Tony, who manage to hold Doom off long enough for Loki to reclaim his stolen power and restore the Multiverse.
Everything returns to normal. Loki returns to his throne, but not before saying a final goodbye to Thor and his TVA friends. Everyone is sent back to their original universes.
Deadpool, Wolverine, the X-Men, and the Fantastic Four return to their own realities and do not join the MCU. What this means for the future remains unclear. The MCU continues as it did before.
The TVA later brings Steve, Peggy, and their son—who is alive again—to a new universe, one where they originally existed but had died, preventing any Incursions from occurring again. Before leaving, Steve asks the TVA for one last favor.
Years later, an older Steve Rogers is visited by the TVA. They bring him back to Earth-616 at the end of Avengers: Endgame so he can pass the shield to Sam. After saying a final goodbye to Sam and Bucky, he returns with the TVA to the reality where Peggy and their son live. The End.
Directed by the Russo brothers from a screenplay by their longtime collaborator Stephen McFeely and Michael Waldron.
