MCU Rumor Roundup: Wiccan's Reunion With Speed, HAWKEYE Season 2, Savage Hulk's Return, And SECRET WARS Plans

There's lots to delve into today, including plans for the Young Avengers in the MCU, a Die Hard-inspired Hawkeye season 2, She-Hulk's role in Doomsday and Secret Wars, and a whole lot more. Check it out!

Last weekend, a first look at concept art from Avengers: Doomsday (possibly Avengers: Secret Wars) leaked online. As with any pre-production material, how much of that makes it into the movie remains to be seen, though it certainly gave us a better idea of what to expect. 

One piece showed the Young Avengers - Ms. Marvel, Hawkeye, Cassie Lang, Wiccan, and Speed - assembled alongside Wong and Star-Lord. While the Vision TV series is on the horizon, many fans have questioned how and where Billy and Tommy were reunited following Agatha All Along's big cliffhanger ending. 

According to The Cosmic Circus' Alex Perez, "I heard a rumor that Billy and Tommy reuniting will play out similarly as it did in the comics, during the middle of a mission at the most random possible moment."

The insider also explains that the team (who may be called the Champions in the MCU) likely won't assemble until Secret Wars, meaning the artwork we saw was almost certainly from the Multiverse Saga's finale rather than Doomsday

As for Kate Bishop, Perez suggests a Daredevil: Born Again storyline could set the stage for Hawkeye season 2, though scooper Daniel Richtman has also shared an update on plans for the series.

He's revealed that it will be set during Christman again, but this time in one location as Clint Barton and Kate find themselves fending off hordes of assassins. Trickshot will be the main villain and there will be a clear Die Hard inspiration. 

Moving over to a different corner of the MCU, Perez has addressed She-Hulk's role in the next Avengers movies and says Jennifer Walters doesn't want to be an Avenger but circumstances force her into joining the team (likely as a result of Doctor Doom taking over whatever's left of the Multiverse).

He also hints at plans for Savage Hulk's return and tempers expectations for a World War Hulk project. Following the mixed response to She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and Captain America: Brave New World, that's not overly surprising; Marvel Studios might have dropped the ball on setting up this particular tale. 

Finally, Perez was asked about the possibility of Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars showing live-action characters interacting with animated Variants. He believes there's a "very big chance" it happens as Marvel has been "doing tests for live-action and animation interacting on screen." 

However, before you get too excited, it's most likely for Miss Minutes. 

As always, there's lots to think about here and we'd love to hear your thoughts on these rumours in the comments section below.

I remember when that headline picture of the Hulk was a big deal since we hadn't seen that much of him by that point pre-The Avengers release. Any glimpse had people paying attention.

Hawkeye Season 2 sounds like a replay of Hawkeye Season 1.
Set at Christmas again, die-hard influences, Clint passes the mantle down to Kate, retires again...

Why not just watch Season 1 again. I guarantee it'll be way better than watching Season 2 for the first time.

How would Disney make another MCU Hulk movie?

They don't fully own the rights to make live action Hulk movies.

@MakeAmericaGrea - Universal lost the film rights to Hulk in June 2023.

The rights contract they had was a 15 year distribution contract.

Since Universal didn't make any Hulk movies after Incredible Hulk the contract was done.

At this point, Champions/Young Avengers teaming up for the first time for an act in Secret Wars seems the likely first time and will probably see multiple teams join up in that prior to the final showdown when all those groups join forces. If they still do a gamma Kingdom as another teamup location remains to be seen, could still see it happening (yes, I know opinions of Smart Hulk are low but that is ALWAYS easy to fix in like 5seconds flat with a rage out/need to go bigger and more savage).

Young Avengers sounds like a way to make another incredibly sh!tty movie like The Marvels.

As the very token straight white male, Speed should run from this crap at light speed.

@DocSpock - Hes actually not straight.

"David is the ex-boyfriend of Tommy. David and Tommy invited teammate Hulking to a gay bar where they get drunk and make out leaving Hulkling in the position of third wheel. David is the superhero Prodigy and is another one of Tommy's teammates."

Does AlexPerez actually knows anything?...... because most I read from him is "it will likely" "it could happen there" "it could" "it should" "not sure"....... Where is the scooper on here exactly?

anyway, about Hawkeye s2....... I enjoyed s1, but I honestly dont see the need of a second season when both characters can continue on the movies and Kate now has the potential Champions show. No need for s2, tbh.

@gambgel - ...but then, there was no need for Daredevil Born again either if you go down that path or no need for Captain America:Winter Soldier after Avengers assemble to look another way at it.

Couple of humans with bows feels better for TV in many ways than film, and just cos there is a team doesn't mean all solo's should stop either.

I wonder what exactly Marvel has against Patriot. The lack of Patriot in both BNW and Young Avengers/Champions is very telling.

Also what about a little Skaar or Hulkling. Asking for Wiccan.

Or perhaps that particular tale was never actually in development and these scoopers amongst some correct news were throwing some of their usual BS aswell.

Also , haven’t those Hawkeye S2 details been shared before?.

It just seems like DanielRPK is regurgitating the rumors we have heard about it.

If this all happens to be true, they need to figure out a gameplan for Hulk and Skaar (Skaar needs his own story as the original Skaar run was good) and don't sub him for Hulkling. Hulk needs to come back to what he once was. Skip Joe Fixit...we've already had enough of this soft hulk.

I dont know what their obsession with these characters are. None of them are popular. They keep sticking Ms. Marvel in Avengers and X-books trying to get her over. They couldn't even kill her off in her own book. She was a regular in Amazing Spider-man. I dont know how many series, video games, and series they need to put this character in before they get it.

If you want to be serious about the character, make her serious. The annoying happy to be there kid routine gets old quick.
