The plan for the MCU’s next saga after Avengers: Secret Wars will focus on cosmic, mutant, and supernatural themes. The side stories will serve as a foundation for introducing new characters and key elements for other productions, while the major events will revolve around these three central themes.

The supernatural side of the next MCU saga will reportedly be “very dark, very demonic, and something out of a Guillermo del Toro fever dream.”

Industry insider Daniel Richtman reported that the Midnight Sons project is back in development at Marvel after previously being put on hold. Michael Green, who had been attached as the screenwriter, is reportedly no longer involved with the project.
