A new Avengers: Secret Wars report claimed that the movie’s setting will be like two MCU Disney+ shows.
During a Q&A on The Cosmic Circus, scooper Alex Perez answered questions about the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars. One of the questions involved The Defenders and New Guardians of the Galaxy. Perez does not expect either group to be in Secret Wars unless they are part of Doctor Doom’s court.
Furthermore, Perez explained that the premise and setting of Avengers: Secret Wars will be like a combination of two beloved Disney+ shows.
What Disney+ shows have been compared to Avengers: Secret Wars?
“Aside from a literal handful of heroes and villains, practically everyone will be under Doom’s control, living in a more medieval version of what Wanda did in Westview,” Perez wrote. “Literally think WandaVision meets What If… The Avengers Assembled in 1602? And that’s the introductory premise to Secret Wars.”
In WandaVision, Wanda Maximoff created the Hex, which transformed Westview into a 1950s-style sitcom. The townspeople were now under her control.
What If… the Avengers Assembled in 1602? is the eighth episode of What If…? season 2. In the episode, Captain Peggy Carter is dropped into an alternate reality where heroes and villains live in 1602.
Before Avengers: Secret Wars, Marvel must first release Avengers: Doomsday. The movie brings Robert Downey Jr. back into the MCU, but this time, as the villainous Doctor Doom. Attempting to stop Doom are the New Avengers, the Wakandans, the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, and the original X-Men. The events of Doomsday will lead to Secret Wars.
Doomsday’s cast features a large ensemble that reunites some of the MCU’s most iconic characters, including Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson/Captain America, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, and Chris Evans as Steve Rogers.
The Russo Brothers are the directors of Doomsday and Secret Wars. Doomsday is now in post-production, while Secret Wars is in pre-production.
Avengers: Doomsday will be released on December 18, 2026, while Secret Wars is scheduled for December 17, 2027.
