Summary:
- Avengers: Secret Wars is poised to become one of the most highly anticipated films in MCU history, generating considerable excitement for its impending conclusion.
- Rumors suggest that Marvel Studios has enlisted two iconic actors to reprise legendary roles in the film.
- However, the addition of these characters may spell trouble for their on-screen counterparts, potentially leading to two additional deaths in the storyline.
Looking at the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the rumors and theories on the internet are, once again, numerous. Avengers: Secret Wars are reportedly going to bring two leading superheroes to head the Avengers. This news, at first, got the fans quite concerned because the two heroes also bring in potential danger for the team.
As the MCU brings in the beloved actors and their iconic characters, it has brought into question what comes next for the Avengers. With the retiring heroes, is it time for sacrificial roles hence being the end of the characters as we know them? Time will tell.
Rumor Has It: The Avengers Seek Help from Two Legendary Superheroes!
Hugh Jackman is to appear with Ryan Reynolds in the upcoming MCU movie, supposedly connecting the MCU with the X-Men universe. As he has been playing the role of Wolverine in the X-Men series for the last 24 years since the launch of its first movie, the rumors about Jackman’s character playing with the Avengers cannot be ignored.
Express has written that Marvel Studios has apparently asked Hugh Jackman to reprise his role for Avengers: Secret Wars, to which both he and Tobey Maguire are supposed to reprise their role in the movie as Spider-Man.
While these lead veteran actors and characters in the movie are much appreciated and respected within the Avengers, their adaptation in the MCU can also be challenging for the acceptance of the narrative arc for Wolverine and Spider-Man.
Wolverine and Spider-Man’s Fate Hangs in the Balance Following Secret Wars!
So then, let us ground ourselves in fiction, comics, and the MCU to connect theories during the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home this 2021. The Tobey Maguire Spider-Man asked for peace and went back through the Doctor Strange portal, supposedly finishing his arc.
Conversely, Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine gave up his claws in the 2017 movie Logan and never pulled them back out until Deadpool & Wolverine. The fact that these two are fighting together bears greater meaning beyond basic leadership.
One theory postulates that the Avengers: Secret Wars might be the one to bring the end of Wolverine and Spidey. This, of course, is all speculative, but evidence shows that the arc for Wolverine is complete after Logan, and his reintroduction wouldn’t make sense for the character that fans know.
On the other hand, the heroic deaths of such characters would bring a more cathartic resolution to Tobey Maguire’s version of Spider-Man.
Any of these deaths might have the fans bawling all over the theatre, at the same time fans would also have their fingers crossed that the MCU treats the characters with respect. Fans would want such emotional moments with their favorite heroes, but then again, this is all in the realm of theory.
Apparently, Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds will be in the next MCU film, Deadpool & Wolverine, premiering across U.S. theaters on July 26, 2024.
