AVENGERS: SECRET WARS Rumored To Feature A Long-Awaited Reunion For Two MCU Fan-Favorites - SPOILERS

A new Avengers: Secret Wars rumour suggests the movie will feature a long-awaited reunion between two fan-favourite characters, but will it play out as expected? Find the spoilery details after the jump...

There are plenty of reasons to be excited about Avengers: Secret Wars, even if we don't know exactly when it will be released in theaters. Yes, it's scheduled for a 2027 release, but based on recent rumours, we could see it slipping further down the calendar. 

Marvel Studios has slowed down the rate of its theatrical and streaming releases, and it's hard to imagine Avengers 5 coming out only a year after Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts. We'll have to wait and see. 

Today, a very exciting rumour is doing the rounds which claims Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man and Tom Holland's Spider-Man will "meet again" in Avengers: Secret Wars

This comes our way from scooper @MyTimeToShineH, so we'd advise taking it with a pinch of salt. Still, this reunion makes sense, though we don't anticipate them necessarily being allies. 

It's previously been reported that the next Avengers movies will see Earth-838's Tony Stark come to Earth-616 looking for revenge. If accurate, that means Downey will be playing a villainous Iron Man, an exciting contrast to the heroic Variant who gave his life to save the universe in Avengers: Endgame

Marvel Studios is thought to be courting all six original Avengers for an MCU return. Last November, Chris Evans was asked about the rumours he's gearing up to play Captain America and said, "You know, I always see those reports too, and it’s news to me."

"I think every couple months, someone says that they’re getting Downey, and [Chris] Hemsworth, and Scarlett [Johansson], and everyone’s coming back!"

He added, "No one’s spoken to me about it. And look, I would never say never, but I’m very protective. It’s a very precious role to me, so it would have to be just right."

That followed Johansson also being asked about a possible MCU return, though she played a little more coy earlier that same month month. "You really ask the hard questions," the actress teased. "I actually don’t have to tell you! I feel like [Avengers: Endgame is] kind of the end, right?"

Neither of the upcoming Avengers movies has a director after Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton stepped down from the fifth instalment last year. The Kang Dynasty also lost its title and writer Jeff Loveness following Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania's poor performance and Jonathan Majors' legal issues. 

Michael Waldron (Loki, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness) is now penning both movies. 

Avengers 5 is currently scheduled to arrive in theaters on May 1, 2026, with Avengers: Secret Wars to follow on May 7, 2027.

@abd00bie - no lies detected.
Still I'd rather see that than them bribe RDJ to come back.
It at least would be funny.

@Slotherin - Bring in Jon Hamm as Arno Stark and i could go for that... then let RDJ's AI beat his ass while it copilots White Vision in a more familiar paint scheme.

@abd00bie - word is he wants out of that cult but they have something on him he doesn’t want to come out

Something something "mcu desperate", something something "nostalgia cameos".

Too predictable.

@DrReedRichards - Also insert into every scene, no matter how serious or dramatic it's supposed to be, a joke of some sort

@RebelCommander -

I recently realized that certain folks like to refer to the Confederate flag as "the Rebel banner" instead.

No idea why that came to mind, just thought it'd be interesting to share.

@DrReedRichards - they should accurately refer to it as the traitors and losers flag tbh

They should. But they won't.

I really don’t want to see evil versions of Iron Man or any of our other key Avengers.

But it doesn’t matter. If this happens, he will be upset about the fallout from Dr Strange MoM but then team up with our earths heroes to fight the bigger threat.

Secret Wars will feature every character they can convince the actors to come back and play. It is what it is. We won’t have a connection to this Tony, but it will hit the nostalgia feels and will allow them to go bigger than Endgame with their finale.

If RDJ comes back I hope he squeezes every penny he can out of Disney

And only Tony remembers who he is.

Ngl , idk the story or character purpose it would serve for Holland’s Spidey to meet a version of RDJ’s Tony again (I hope there is one besides nostalgia)…

However , seeing RDJ play a villainous variant akin to Suoerior Iron Man in the comics would be deliciously fun!!.

No thank you. I hope iron man never shares the screen with spidey again

@JFerguson - agreed. Spidey doesn’t need closure and neither do we

Although I definitely miss those two, I don't need to see them on screen again. I'm more interested in a reboot, and then being recast

@Izaizaiza - wouldn't it be kinda cool for Spider-Man to befriend Iron-Man, but Stark wants nothing to do with him?

Kinda makes me feel like it's more comic accurate.

I'd rather see nothing than the dramatic reunion, but I'd rather see Tony semi-annoyed by Peter than nothing.
Izaizaiza
Izaizaiza - 3/26/2024, 6:02 PM
@KennKathleen - Yeah, agreed. I don't need to see that previous Tony Peter relationship again

Wow, so a character already guaranteed to be in the movie will meet up with a character that's been long-rumored to come back for this movie might show up together?!? I really need to get this scooper's Patreon details, because WOW.

I don't think that's long awaited at all.
People want Thor and Loki to reunite way more.

It's not really a reunion if it's a different version of Tony, now is it?

What I’m interested to see is how Peter navigates interacting with the other Avengers knowing his memory wasn’t wiped and he has to act like he’s never had any adventures with them. Also Strange I believe is the only one who knows Peter is Spider-Man and possibly Wong as well so I’m interested to see if they clarify on that as well.

@Order66 - "he has to act like he’s never had any adventures with them"

Wtf are you talking about. They all remember spiderman, just not that he's Peter

@Order66 - Strange doesn't know. He says "Nice knowing you" when he is first going to do the spell. Nobody but Peter knows who he is.

You say this is a rumour but it also sounds obvious.

@marvel72 - yeah, don't need a scooper to tell you that. I got one too: Maguire, Jackman and RDJ will share a scene as well. You heard it here first
TheFinestSmack
TheFinestSmack - 3/26/2024, 2:14 PM
@bkmeijer1 - My sources have told me that next time we Doctor Strange, he might have a scene with Charlize Theron.
