Avengers: Secret Wars release date

Avengers: Secret Wars will be released on December 17, 2027.

It was originally announced for May 1, 2026, but that got pushed back amid strike-related delays. It was then pushed back to May 7, 2027, and is now delayed yet again. Accord๊ing to , this decision was made due to the fact that both Secret Wars and its predecessor, Avengers: Doomsday, have increased in scope.

Marvel has been pumping out a ton of shows and movies over the last year. However, the choice not to🍸 rush the new🥃 Avengers movies is one that the studio has carefully considered.

"When we were doing Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3, there were [fewer] projects over more years," 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Feige previously explained of the six-year gap between 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avengers: Endgame and the next Avengers movie. "They were smaller projects and individual character stories, and it felt appropr📖iate at t𓂃hat point that after every two or three years that it took for a phase, we would do an Avengers film."

Avengers: Secret Wars directors

During SDCC 2024, it was an👍nounced 🙈that the Russo brothers would direct Avengers: Secret Wars and its predecessor, Avengers: Doomsday.

This was welcome news to fans as the Russo brothers directed two of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Marvel movies of all time, Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame. So, if anyone can close out the Multiverse Sagꦗa with a bang, these two can.

"Joe and I truly believed Endgame was the end of the road for us," Anthony Russo said. "In the time s𝐆ince, through a special story, we have come to potentially see a road to take with you all."

Since then, the Russos have been talking about the upcoming Avengers movඣies, with some details that will be key for the story moving fo🍬rward.

"What's compelling about these two new Avengers movies is they're a beginning. It's a new beginning. We told an ending story, now we're going to tell a beginning story. And then who knows where we'll go from there. Maybe it'll be another 5 years but I think we just needeꩵd that time and perspective to figure out where it needed to go next, and the only thing that brought us back was the right story," Joe Russo said in an interview with .

Avengers: Secret Wars cast

SDCC 20🌱24 revealed that Robert Downey Jr as Doctor Doom will play a role in Avengers: Secret Wars. We also know that the Fantastic Four and the Thunderbolts will play a part in the upcoming Marvel movie.

That means we can expect to see Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby as💛 Susan Storm, Joseph 🔯Quinn as Johnny Storm, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm. On the Thunderbolts side, we’ll see Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, David Harbour as Alexei Shostakov, Wyatt Russell as John Walker, and more.

However, apart from those two groups and Doctor Doom, no other casting annou📖ncements have been made yet. The 2015 Secret Wars comics that the movie looks set to be heavily based on also featured the likes of Thor, both Miles Morales and Peter Parker, Wolverine, Captain America, She-Hulk, and so many more.

Several Marvel villains also joined Doctor Doom in the comics, such as The Beyonder, The Lizard, Magneto, Molecule Man, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Kang the Conqueror. So, keep your eyes on this page, because we exℱpecꦅt a lot more casting announcements to come our way in the future.

Avengers: Secret Wars plot

There have been two prominent Secret Wars storylines in Marvel comics, the first of which launched in 1984 as part of a collaboration between the comic book-maker and toy manufacturer Mattel, the intention being that they would launch a line of toys alongside a huge crossover event in the comics. The first Secret Wars is tܫherefore considered the first ever official Marvel crossover event, with the 12-issue series billed as the ultimate showdown between the most powerful heroes and villains in the Marvel Universe.

The story sees a villain called The Beyonder send our heroes to a planet known as Battleworld, in which they are trapped and loไcked into (seemingly) eternal battle with other villains. Many heroes' storylines are drastically altered, including Spider-Man, who receives his famous all-black costume that ends up being a living alien symbiote – which attempts to take over Peter's mind before attaching itself to Eddie Brock and becoming Venom.

While the original Secret Wars is much-loved, the MCU seems set to be more akin to the 2015 comic book run that saw the destruct🌜ion of the Prime Marvel Universe (Earth-616) as we know it. Essentially, The Beyonders – there are many of them – are trying to collapse the Multiverse through Incursions, which is when universes collide and become unstable. The Beyonders are doing this all by using Molecule Man, the only person who exists in basically the exact same context and identity in every world. He's essentially a failsafe whose powers can be activated by the Beyonders, destroying that universe.

However, the Beyonders are foiled by Doctor Doom. However, being a dastardly villain, Doom then reconstructs Battleworld using elements of different universes. Many heroes were drastically changed in the process, though the Avengers eventually come out on top and defeat Doom, who is known as God Emperor Doom. You can 澳洲幸运5开奖号码ౠ历史查询:read much more about the Secret Wars comics here.

We've already seen the groundwork for this story being laid out. In Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, Doctor Strange of Earth-838 causes an incursion, destroying his universe and another. The Multiverse itself has now been well-established thanks to the Doctor Strange sequel and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Spider-Man: No Way Home, which featured multiple Peter Parkers. The theme continued into 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Loki season 2 as well as The Marvels, and we're 🐎gues𝐆sing we haven't seen the last of that yet, either.

On top of that, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Deadpool & Wolverine introduced how unstable timelines in the multiverse truly are. After all, the film focused heavily on the destruction of universes outside the Sacred timeline and the TVA - they always seem to follow one univer♋se-ending problem or another. Incursions and the multiverseꦬ firmly falls into that bracket.

In the movie, we also saw a potential fu🐲ture with the Merc with a Mouth being held by Thor. So, Wade Wilson will probably have a bigger part to play i🔜n Secret Wars than we initially thought as well.
