Avengers: Endgame Focused on 'Endings'—How Kevin Feige Says Secret Wars Will Be Different

The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Multiverse Saga

The Marvel Cinematic Universe's (MCU) multiverse saga has had its share of challenges, but the conclusion is shaping up to be a grand spectacle. Two upcoming films, Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, will serve as the final chapter of this era in the MCU. While specific plot details remain scarce, it's clear that these movies will have significant implications for the multiverse.

Producer Kevin Feige recently shared insights about Secret Wars, emphasizing that it won't focus on "endings" like Avengers: Endgame did. Endgame marked the end of an era in the MCU, with several characters taking their final bows and others stepping into more prominent roles. Although some fans were divided about the ending, many reviews praised it as a satisfying conclusion to the long-running story arc that began with Iron Man in 2008.

Feige also mentioned how the 2015 Secret Wars comic run by Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribić will influence the film. He stated:

"We’re utilizing that [story] not just to round out the stories we’ve been telling post-Endgame, just as importantly — and you can look at the Secret Wars comics for where that takes you — it very, very much sets us up for the future."

The 2015 Secret Wars storyline is known for its massive scale, involving the destruction of various universes across the multiverse. At its core is Doctor Doom, who steals power from the Beyonders to create a new world called Battleworld. Eventually, he is overthrown by Reed Richards and others. While the 2027 film will differ from the source material, Feige confirmed one key element remains the same: Endgame was about endings, while Secret Wars is about beginnings.

In the comics, Secret Wars marked the start of a new era, with some universes destroyed and others transformed. Notably, Miles Morales and his allies were integrated into the main Earth-616 universe. However, Feige clarified that fans shouldn't expect Miles to join the MCU soon.

Upcoming Films and Excitement

Fans still have time before Secret Wars hits theaters. First, there's Doomsday, which will see Earth's Mightiest Heroes facing off against Doctor Doom. Robert Downey Jr. is set to play the iconic villain, and reports suggest he's fully committed to the role. Fans are eager for more details about the film, though specifics about how young Franklin Richards will fit into the story remain unclear.
