AVENGERS: SECRET WARS - 5 More Team-Ups We Need To See In The Multiverse Saga's Conclusion

Following a rumour about plans for a huge team-up in Avengers: Secret Wars, we have some ideas for more crossovers that could take place in the movie when worlds collide. Check them out after the jump...

Filed Under: Avengers: Secret Wars

Phase 5 launches on February 17 with Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, meaning we're now in the midst of The Multiverse Saga.

Spider-Man: No Way Home and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness have offered us an idea about the type of storytelling on the horizon, and a recent rumour claimed Avengers: Secret Wars will see Hugh Jackman's Wolverine team up with Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man as part of a ragtag team of Multiversal heroes who assemble to battle The Beyonder.

Only time will tell whether that pans out, but it got us thinking: how many other team-ups like this could we see in the 2026 movie? For that matter, which of those would we be most excited to watch play out when Secret Wars comes to the MCU?

Hit the "Next" button below to check out the 5 team-ups that need to happen a few years from now!

5. Wolverine/Hulk

Mark Ruffalo has been playing Bruce Banner for over a decade now, and following the introduction of She-Hulk and Skaar, it feels like his time as the Jade Giant may be nearing its end.

While the MCU will eventually get a new Wolverine, that could be a long way off, particularly as Adamantium isn't expected to be introduced until Captain America: New World Order. With that in mind, the sooner The Hulk and Wolverine cross paths on screen, the better, especially if it's the Variants played by Ruffalo and Jackman.

Both have discussed their excitement about the characters potentially crossing paths on screen, and Marvel Studios can make a lot of dreams come true here.

4. Human Torch/Human Torch/Human Torch

Yes, that's a lot of Human Torches, but wouldn't it be part of the fun with a movie like Avengers: Secret Wars? Marvel Studios could enlist Chris Evans, Michael B. Jordan, and whoever plays the hero in the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot to really showcase Johnny Storm's powers in what would be a team-up for the ages!

Rumours of Evans returning to the MCU have persisted for years, and while we hope to see him play Captain America again, it would be nuts for him to not "Flame On!" one final time.

This admittedly isn't quite as exciting on paper as the three Spider-Men swinging into action together in Spider-Man: No Way Home, but it's an idea that has potential. Remember, in Jonathan Hickman's Secret Wars comic book, poor Johnny was used to power that reality's sun...

3. The Amazing Spider-Man/Deadpool

Ryan Reynolds' Merc with the Mouth will team up with Wolverine in Deadpool 3, and while that's something fans are overjoyed about, there's another Wade Wilson pairing we'd love to see in Avengers: Secret Wars.

We are, of course, referring to Deadpool's quirky "friendship" with Spider-Man. However, while many of you are likely thinking how much fun it would be for the unhinged mercenary to cross paths with Tom Holland's web-slinger, it's Andrew Garfield's Amazing Spider-Man who we think would make the best verbal sparring partner for Deadpool.

Garfield and Reynolds would undoubtedly steal the show together, and a subplot devoted to their team-up would be a spectacular addition to a movie that already sounds incredible.

2. Scarlet Witch/Magneto

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness missed a trick by not establishing Wanda Maximoff as a mutant and, at the very least, we'd have liked that to be addressed on Earth-838!

Regardless of whether we head back to that specific reality, Michael Fassbender should definitely reprise the role of Magneto to introduce himself to the Scarlet Witch as her father. While that wouldn't be the case in the MCU, the villain manipulating the Wanda we all know and love for his own nefarious means makes sense, especially if he's looking to save his reality.

We can't imagine future X-Men movies will focus on the Master of Magnetism in the same way Fox did, so why not give the iconic big bad a fitting farewell by making him a supporting villain?

1. Captain America/Captain Carter

In this feature, we've mostly focused on pairing up characters from the MCU with those from previous movie franchises. There are almost countless possibilities in that respect, but this team-up is one that combines Marvel Studios' live-action with animation.

Hayley Atwell played a slightly villainous Captain Carter in the Doctor Strange sequel, but that didn't really fulfil our desire to see that What If...? hero in live-action. This Peggy Carter racing into action in Avengers: Secret Wars is a must, and her meeting the MCU's Steve Rogers...well, how much fun does that sound?

Captain America and Captain Carter seeing each other as Super Soldiers would create a fascinating dynamic, and one we don't think would necessarily lead to romance! In fact, the two butting heads as they attempt to lead this team is a must for the movie.

How 'bout these two? That'd make me happy.

A New year and same old Josh…

DocSpock - 1/2/2023, 11:12 AM

I think Secret Wars should team up the mouth watering Hayley Atwell, the living members of ZZ Topp, The Black Knight, & my old friend Bigfoot.

@DocSpock - Jokes aside, a Captain Carter and Dane Whitman team-up would be bad ass.

DocSpock - 1/2/2023, 12:48 PM

@FilmGuy7878 -

Totally agree.

FilmGuy7878 - 1/2/2023, 12:50 PM

@DocSpock - The sword and shield man, classic pairing.

DoubleD - 1/2/2023, 11:25 AM

Hulk VS Wolverine is a must see in any movie. Long overdue.

IronMan616 - 1/2/2023, 11:26 AM

I just want to see Hulk and Spider-Man on the screen together. Huge, missed opportunity in Infinity War and Endgame.

mr fant4stic vs j. jonah jameson, rematch of the century

@tmp3 - FASTER REED, FASTER!

CorndogBurglar - 1/2/2023, 11:34 AM

Cable and Cyclops. Duh.

CorndogBurglar - 1/2/2023, 11:35 AM

Nightcrawler and Wolverine

Scarilian - 1/2/2023, 11:45 AM

It's a single movie, even if it adapts it more as rivalries and conflicts between variants and a few surviving heroes we won't have the time to fully explore these characters much and I doubt they'll be anything more than 'lets recruit cameos of heroes' for the final battle, basically swapping Endgame's army for an army of variants.

Makiveli21 - 1/2/2023, 12:18 PM

Now imagine all this with the new MCU comic accurate Wolverine instead of the botched Fox Hugh Jackman version... we would have been better off without Jackmans return.

They had better give Hugh the X-Force suit. Save the brown/yellow or blue/yellow for the new MCU version.

DocSpock - 1/2/2023, 12:52 PM

So, besides Haley Atwell, who should costar in the best porn team up of all the available MCU characters?

Think carefully. This is very important.

FilmGuy7878 - 1/2/2023, 1:24 PM

@DocSpock - Hmmmm, Kate Bishop and Yelena. A bunch of people ship them together already so why the hell not?

marvel72 - 1/2/2023, 2:19 PM

Wolverine Vs The Hulk should be top of everyone's list.

FilmGuy7878 - 1/2/2023, 3:28 PM

@marvel72 - Hopefully Bruce goes back to being rage monster Hulk rather cardigan wearing Hulk by the time Secret Wars rolls around.

Secret wars is gonna reboot alot of stuff.

The multiverse saga will end with a correct timeline and a reset.

We are at wacky and weird MCU stage right now. It's almost as if feige will have the fans wanting an official multiverseless universe.

It will end like NWH. A new beginning and new reality.
