‘Secret Wars’ Is Extra Than Simply an ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Sequel

In over a 12 months, Marvel says goodbye to the multiverse its multiverse focus with Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars. It’s the previous that’s within the entrance of everybody’s minds proper now, but it surely seems like Secret Wars might be the place issues actually pop off and wow audiences when it arrives subsequent 12 months.

In an interview with Fandango, Kevin Feige gave just a few cryptic teases about this new duology. As he tells it, the 2 films might be linked in a “very completely different approach” than how Infinity Conflict and Endgame operated. Earlier than its official title, Endgame was initially simply “Infinity War Part II,” and anybody anticipating one other “Half I/Half II” situation ought to in all probability modify their expectations.

Actually, for as many swings Marvel’s taking with Avengers: Doomsday, it seems like Secret Wars will take some actual massive ones. Feige known as it “as bold a undertaking as we’ve ever launched into.” Massive phrases, given the MCU’s pedigree over time, however not completely sudden. The Multiverse Saga’s been far and wide, but it surely’s been clear for years that Marvel’s needed it to exit with a bang and use it as a chance to do issues it couldn’t do earlier than, both legally or creatively. In spite of everything, you don’t get a bunch of veteran actors from Marvel’s cinematic history again should you’re not going all out.

We’ll see if the studio succeeds when Avengers: Doomsday hits theaters on December 18, adopted by Avengers: Secret Wars on December 17, 2027.
