ThisSecret Warsrumor byCan We Get Some Toaststates, “Avengers: Secret Warsis very likely setting up a soft-reboot to the entire MCU.” Similarly,The Flashwas used to rebootthe DCEU into the upcoming DCU, but at the same time has become one of the biggest financial failures in comic book movie history. Some fans believe announcing thatThe Flashwas rebooting the franchise is one of the reasons for the low box office numbers in recent DCEU films.
Additionally, Can We Get Some Toast statedAvengers: Secret Warswill “be a send-off for not only the entirety of the Fox-Verse, but the MCU that we’ve all grown to love. In the aftermath will be an All-New, All-Different MCU…” It’s unclear at the moment what a soft reboot would look like for the MCU. Which characters would get recast, and which would stay?
The MCU has had its fair share of troubles recently, with fans complaining about CGI and having too much content coming out over a short period, resulting in superhero fatigue. Films likeThe Marvelshave too much content that fans need to watch before the film. The quality of content has also struggled;Secret Invasionbecame one of the most widely pannedMarvel Studios projects by critics and audiences. Could a soft reboot fix these issues or make things worse?
Barring any more delays,Avengers: Secret Warswill be released 19 years afterIron Mankicked off the MCU. Comics are great because the characters don’t need to age much and can continue having new adventures. Movies can’t replicate that well because the actors will age. It might be time for some new actors to take on the roles of fan-favorite characters in an “All-New, All-Different MCU.”
Avengers: Secret Warsis scheduled to be released in theaters on Jun 15, 2025.
