Why Avengers: Secret Wars Needs To Have The MCU’s Most Expansive Cast Ever
Cillian Murphy has been chosen over Jonathan Majors' Kang the Conqueror as the antagonist for the movie, casting him as Doctor Doom. This decision is likely influenced by the significance of Victor's role in the movie's source material. In addition to the multiverse heroes like Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's Spider-Men and Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, several notable MCU heroes including Doctor Strange, both versions of Captain America, Iron Man, Daredevil, and others will join forces to combat Doom in the upcoming MCU film.
The Avengers movies in the MCU have progressively expanded both in terms of team size and overall scale. The climactic battle in Avengers: Endgame showcased a monumental showdown where all surviving MCU heroes united against Thanos and his army, bringing the Infinity Saga to a spectacular conclusion. Following the events of Avengers: The Kang Dynasty in 2026, a fresh iteration of the team is established within the MCU, setting the stage for Avengers Secret Wars to replicate the epic finale seen in Avengers: Endgame for the culmination of the Multiverse Saga.
The Multiverse Saga in the MCU has introduced new heroes such as Reed Richards portrayed by John Krasinski and the return of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in the upcoming Deadpool 3. Existing MCU characters have also appeared in multiple iterations. Actors like Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire have returned as their versions of Spider-Man in Spider-Man: No Way Home, along with villains from their respective movies. It is clear that Marvel Studios intends to make Avengers: Secret Wars the grand finale of the Multiverse Saga, featuring the largest cast ever assembled in the MCU.
The conclusion of Avengers: Secret Wars may mark a soft reboot for the MCU, allowing Marvel Studios to incorporate the original Avengers, the Fantastic Four, and the X-Men simultaneously. The storyline of Avengers: Secret Wars will likely involve the heroes of the MCU attempting to rescue their universe from an impending collision with another universe, akin to the 2015 Marvel Comics event. The assistance of other heroes from Marvel's past multiverses could play a pivotal role in helping the MCU heroes. Ultimately, Avengers: Secret Wars will not only conclude the Multiverse Saga, but also serve as a conclusion to the entire MCU thus far, as well as Marvel's live-action history. This will pave the way for a completely new and different MCU.
