Avengers: Secret Wars

Summary

WhereThe Flashfailed to inhabit up to a DC Universe hope , Marvel Studios’Avengers : Secret Warscould in reality succeed . Avengers : Secret Warsis presently set to bring both the MCU ’s Phase 6 and the Multiverse Saga to a close when it releases in 2027 , and recent speculation suggests the upcoming moving-picture show will have a much larger character to play in the futurity of Marvel Studios ' franchise . These new theory suggest thatAvengers : Secret Warscould follow in the footsteps of DC Studios’The Flash , though the MCU crossover event could do a much better line at delivering a universe of discourse - changing reset than the DC Universe ’s 2023 attack .

Recent speculation has suggest thatAvengers : Secret Warscould boot the MCU , allow new tarradiddle to be secern with neglected or ignored characters from Marvel Comics take the vanguard in the wake of the Multiverse Saga ’s conclusion . While this could mean that ground characters may be rewritten , let in the the like of Tony Stark ’s Iron Man , Steve Rogers ' Captain America , and Natasha Romanoff ’s Black Widow , it ’s potential that Marvel Studios will need to embrace their yesteryear when determine up their futurity . 2023’sThe Flashsaw DC Studios attempt a reset of the DC Universe , leaving behind the DCEU for Gunn and Safran ’s novel DC Universe , but Marvel Studios can do better .

The Flash Made The DCU More Confusing

Based on 2011’sFlashpointevent from DC Comics , 2023’sThe Flashwas expected to reset DC ’s unrecorded - action enfranchisement , allowing Gunn and Safran to move on from the DCEU and raise their refreshed DC Universe , start with 2025’sSuperman : Legacy . Flashpointdid just this in DC Comics , as Barry Allen locomote back in time and altered DC ’s continuity forever and a day , and while DC Studios tried to replicate it , this " reset " only lead to more mix-up . The DCEU has come under a slew of scrutiny over the age , but its late projection have seen disappointing box office totals and poor decisive response , andThe Flash’sreset did nothing to mollify these issue .

The Flashwas survey byBlue Beetle , which give birth a standalone story , mean it ’s unclear whether it exists in the old DCEU or the fresh DC Universe . This is limit to guide into the expiration of December’sAquaman and the Lost Kingdom , have Jason Momoa as the titular oceanic superhero , which will confuse the live - action enfranchisement even further . DC Studios ' enfranchisement reboot has been very messy , to say the least , and it does n’t seem like any literal answers will be bring home the bacon until Gunn ’s new DC Universe begins to unfold . A reboot of the MCU inAvengers : Secret Warscan deliver a much stronger , open , and more coherent plot line .

Avengers: Secret Wars Can Clean Up The MCU

Although strictly speculative , with nothing yet being confirm by Marvel Studios , Avengers : Secret Warscould put up a clear , though probably soft , reboot of the MCU , much like Marvel ComicsSecret Warsevent did in 2015 . The funny storyline featured the wipeout of the multiverse and the creation of a new continuity , allowing characters from other reality to reside in the primary Marvel Universe from then on . By doing this in theMCU ’s Phase 6,Avengers : hole-and-corner Warscan cut the roll of lively - action heroes , potentially bid farewell to some of the franchise ’s original star topology while unite timeline and straighten out up recent MCU muddiness .

A reboot of the MCU inAvengers : Secret Warslikely wo n’t be a complete re - doing of previous storyline , but the franchise will likely remember what happened before while allow unexampled stories to be told . This could provide the gross opportunity for Marvel Studios to develop storylines involving mutants , the X - adult male , the Fantastic Four , and new Avengers teams , without so much direction on the franchises ' onetime heroes . In recent years , Marvel Studios has fall under scrutiny for not develop the connections between task properly , so a soft - reboot of the franchise inAvengers : mystical Warscan help to figure out this consequence , establishing a young , vindicated , and more simple-minded timeline .

Why A Secret Wars Reboot Makes More Sense Than The Flash’s Would Have

Even though Marvel Studios may have seen extra criticism in late days , particularly as " superhero fatigue " has become a problem for many , the franchise is still incredibly popular , profitable , and expanding very well . This likely stand for that a soft - reboot inAvengers : Secret Warswouldn’t rewrite the entire MCU but establish a new timeline for Phase 7 and beyond . This is a concept that DC Studios essay to develop inThe Flash , allowing some characters and stories to continue on in the new DC Universe while other element would be change altogether . However , this did n’t work as well as hoped , and only led to more discombobulation beleaguer the franchise .

James Gunn and Peter Safran ’s fresh architectural plan for the DC Universe seem wildly unlike from what occur before in the DCEU , think of a operose reboot would have worked considerably , rewrite everything that come before and allowing a new dealership to grow . Being tied to what number before will not do good DC Studios , peculiarly after the pitiable response of DC ’s live - natural action projects in 2023 . Marvel studio apartment can learn fromThe Flash’smistakes if they develop their own reboot forAvengers : Secret Warsand perhaps set the tone for superhero franchise going forward , as several more reboots could occur in thefuture of both the MCU and the DC Universe .
