When it comes to making MCU films, fans will always have an inkling as to what might happen given the wealth of comic book stories we’ve had for many decades.
This fact has fans looking towards Avengers: Secret Wars and contemplating what will happen at the end of that film.
Star Wars Outlaws comes out this month and we loved what we played recently

Essentially, the idea is that the film will completely reboot the MCU, changing everything we know.
The most recent Secret Wars comic book event culminated - spoilers coming - in all of Marvel’s comic book characters being merged, killed off, or rebooted.
At the time of Secret Wars, Marvel Comics had several versions of most of their characters under separate titles.
For example, there were several Spider-Man comics and the Secret Wars event merged all of those extra comics and rebooted everything.
Now fans believe that this will happen at the end of the Multiverse Saga, as seen on Reddit.
One user, awesomesauce1030 said, “I'm of the opinion that Secret Wars is the perfect mechanism for the MCU to totally reset.”
This would be a great setup to recast older characters, bring in new heroes, and get rid of all the variants we’ve seen over the past few years.
Another Redditor had this to say, “I don't want this to be a "reboot" in the sense that we're going to get a new Tony Stark, and a new Steve Rogers, and a new Thanos, and a new Natasha Romanoff, etc.”
One commenter agrees, “I don’t want another Tony Stark or Steve Rogers just so I can see specific comics be more accurately adapted.”
Personally, I don’t think this would be a bad thing. The events of Secret Wars can bring in the X-Men, and we know we’ve already got The Fantastic Four, so it would align the MCU with all of the available Marvel characters.
It would also open up the chance to bring in characters like Miles Morales who could merge with the MCU from the Sony Universe.
