Following the monumental reputation of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, MCU fans are on the lookout for Marvel to assemble a new set of superheroes. A new rumor is circulating that the studios are pursuing past Marvel stars, such as Hugh Jackman and Tobey Maguire, to revamp Avengers: Secret Wars.
According to Heavy Spoilers, Marvel Studios is reportedly aiming to get as many heavy hitters as they can, including that of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man, among other names for minor roles for the Secret Wars roster.
“Now, when I did my last video, I talked about how Feige was trying to get every major character from a Marvel movie in [Avengers: Secret Wars] in some form or another.” teased Paul, the narrator.
Asserted the host, “There’s a number of franchises such as the Fox X-Men universe, Fantastic Four, and so on, and they’re aiming to get as many heavy hitters as they can. So your Hugh Jackman’s Wolverines, Andrew Garfields, Tobey Maguires, and so on, they’re who they’re really trying to nail down.”
For the time being, not much can be revealed about the plot that will be executed on the big screen, but according to Marvel Comics, Secret Wars was a multiversal event that saw past and present Avengers concerning different timelines.
It will focus on the few chosen from their respective realities who were thrown into Battleworld and forced to fight in a massive war that culminated in their presumed deaths.
In 2021, Maguire and Garfield surprised the fans when they appeared in Tom Holland’s Spider-Man: No Way Home. Since then, fans are still advocating for the MCU’s return.
Meanwhile, Jackman is keeping the fans on edge as they wait for him to reprise his role as Wolverine following the confirmation that he’s set to appear in Deadpool 3.
Given that casting rumors still need verification, the channel host is encouraging fans to take the information with a pinch of salt. After all, in the MCU, anything is possible. Fan theories can become reality.
Avengers: Secret Wars is leaning toward a 2026 release.
