With ongoing speculations regarding an MCU reboot by the end of Phase 6, fans are waiting to witness how flawlessly Marvel Studios does that. Currently having the highly anticipated movie Avengers: Secret Wars slated to hit theaters in 2027, fans believe it could be the best way to bring an end to both Phase 6 and the Multiverse Saga.
Marvel fans are anxiously waiting for Avengers: Secret Wars to bring back the classic heroes once again to the silver screen. Hoping to witness the lost superheroes like Captain America, Iron Man, and Black Widow in the Multiversal epic, fans are eagerly waiting for the MCU reboot.
Avengers: Secret Wars Is Deemed The Perfect MCU Reboot
Since Marvel Studios is allegedly moving towards a reboot following the end of Phase 6, fans believe Avengers: Secret Wars could be the best possible way to end, both Phase 6 and the Multiverse Saga. However, Marvel’s plans are yet to be confirmed. Thus, until then we can only discuss why the upcoming Secret Wars can be a perfect reboot set-up.
As Phase 6 is set to deal with the 2015 version of the Secret Wars storyline by Jonathan Hickman, it shall have the opportunity to include the fan-favorite element of Battleworld, which indicates convergence of universes. This allows the upcoming MCU movie to have a multiversal event where it can tie characters and storylines from multiple universes, even outside of the MCU like X-Men.
Further, considering the universal amalgamation creating massive incursion-level events, and time-traveling conquerors making a mess of the timeline, Avengers: Secret Wars can have the perfect opportunity to rewrite the MCU timeline for its reboot. Apart from that, since jumping between different universes will no longer be possible after Secret Wars, it is believed that this movie can give birth to a new Sacred Timeline.
Avengers: Secret Wars Can Bring Back Classic MCU Heroes
While discussing how the universal amalgamation and jumping between timelines is a great concept that can be utilized in Avengers: Secret Wars, fans believe there’s a high possibility of even bringing back classic heroes in the film. Thus, by choosing important elements from the alternate universes and bringing them into the mainline Earth-616 continuity, the MCU can even bring the lost heroes.
By resetting the timeline Marvel can not only allow the X-Men to co-exist alongside the Avengers and the Fantastic Four, but also introduce new versions of old characters like Iron Man, Captain America, and Black Widow. Although MCU previously wrote off these classic characters, Avengers: Secret Wars will have the opportunity to give closure to these heroes.
In the end, after utilizing every important element from the history of Marvel, Avengers: Secret Wars can introduce a new world following its end. Giving the franchise a sense of direction, Secret Wars can serve as the best MCU reboot, and allow Avengers 6 to be a fresh beginning.
