Secret Wars is a major storyline within the Marvel Universe, but it’s only truly been explored twice in the comics. While it creates the perfect excuse to bring fan favorites from different times and universes into one sandbox, managing a crossover of that scale is not for the faint of heart.
Marvel Studios may be learning that the hard way with its own take on the event. After a few shaky years of multiversal stories, the MCU’s latest saga will culminate with Avengers: Secret Wars. In all likelihood, it’ll be the crossover to end all crossovers; it might even reset the MCU, allowing dearly departed characters to return, or heroes from other universes to remain in the Sacred Timeline. Anything goes with a story of this magnitude, though fans will have to wait a few years to see that vision unfold on the big screen.
