Will Secret Wars be the Next Event Comic Book Movie?

Post by Winter »

In response to clearspira's post, I think that given that Marvel Studios now has access to Fantastic 4, Spider-Man and the X-Men and the Russo Brothers have openly stated that they will only return if Marvel is willing to do Secret Wars I think that Secret Wars is will be the next big event.

With Infinity Stones Events there wasn't any major player with the heroes as it was more about Thanos but with Secret Wars, Spidy, F4 and the X-Men all played a huge role in Secret Wars, and is, in fact, the origin of Venom I think it would make sense for their next big Event Comic Movie to be Secret Wars.

My guess is that we'll start seeing hints of the Beyonder being set up soon after Spider-Man Far From Home and that it will be, at least, another 10 years that set up F4 and X-Men alongside the already established MCU characters.

While I'm a bit intrigued, I struggle to understand how something as primal as "GLE tells Team Good vs Team Evil to duke it out in exchange for having all the wishes of the winning team granted" could play out in today's super hero cinematic environment. I kinda worry about it going all strange and sideways, like the gremplork with Thanos's motivations for killing half the universe.
