Exclusive: The two main leads for ‘Avengers: Secret Wars‘ have been confirmed. Reports indicate that Tobey Maguire will reprise his role as Spider-Man, following his last appearance in ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home,’ and Hugh Jackman will return as Wolverine, continuing from ‘Deadpool 3.’ This film is expected to have a similar vibe to ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past.’
Variety reported that Marvel is in discussions about reuniting the original cast for a new ‘Avengers‘ movie, with the possibility of bringing back Iron Man and Black Widow. While they haven’t officially confirmed the idea, Robert Downey Jr. has already agreed to return.
As previously reported, ‘Secret Wars’ will be a soft reboot for the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in Earth-1999. It marks the end of the current MCU and the Fox-Verse, setting the stage for a new and distinct MCU.
‘Avengers: Secret Wars’ is a sequel to previous Avengers movies, including “The Avengers,” “Age of Ultron,” “Infinity War,” “Endgame,” and “The Kang Dynasty.” The film is the forty-sixth installment in the MCU, serving as the final chapter of Phase Six and The Multiverse Saga.
Michael Waldron pens the script, and the director could be Alfonso Cuarón or Sam Raimi. Reports indicate that Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine will play a “major part” in the storyline, which picks up after the events of ‘Deadpool 3’. Kang the Conqueror, played by Jonathan Majors, is set to be the main villain in “Secret Wars.” It’s unclear if the movie will follow the well-known 1980s storyline where the Beyonder brought Marvel characters to Battleworld. That storyline had a big impact, leading to Venom’s creation.
‘Avengers: Secret Wars’ hits theaters on May 7, 2027. See more details on Secret Wars.
