RUMOR: Marvel Studios Has Reportedly Enlisted These 5 Legacy Actors For AVENGERS: SECRET WARS - SPOILERS

The Avengers: Secret Wars rumour mill has already started churning out some potential cameos and it's now said that these five Marvel Legacy actors have all agreed to appear in the long-awaited 2027 movie.

Deadpool & Wolverine featured plenty of huge Multiversal cameos, but Marvel Studios no doubt has something even bigger planned for Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.

It's unclear how many actors Marvel Studios will announce in advance, though we're sure plenty will be left as surprises. Now, though, at least five of those might have been revealed by so-called "scooper" @MyTimeToShineH.

They claim that Tobey Maguire (Spider-Man), Chris Evans (Captain America/Human Torch), Nicolas Cage (Ghost Rider), Wesley Snipes (Blade), and Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow) have all supposedly agreed to return to the MCU for Avengers: Secret Wars. 

Over the next few years, we should likely brace ourselves for a neverending list of potential cameos to do the rounds online; some will be correct and others will simply be names thrown at the wall to see what sticks. 

However, in the months leading up to Deadpool & Wolverine's release, all of The Void's biggest cameos (and Henry Cavill's Cavillrine) were leaked in advance on social media. 

Marvel Studios has taken the next two Avengers movies in a different direction since Jonathan Majors was ousted as the MCU's Kang the Conqueror. While that villain's story could still be wrapped up somehow, Robert Downey Jr. will suit up as Doctor Doom to play the Multiverse Saga's new big bad.

Despite that major change, the plots of both movies will likely remain largely the same. Based on past rumours, an Incursion will see Earth-616 and Earth-100005 collide, with a new "Battleworld" subsequently created which is made up of the remains of those and other destroyed worlds. 

The endgame is for the MCU to be softly rebooted, with a new Sacred Timeline which recasts key roles and adds the Fantastic Four and X-Men to the fray. 

"Yeah, I'm heartbroken," Majors recently said when asked on the street about being replaced. "Of course [I'm heartbroken]. I love him, I love Kang. Doctor Doom is wicked, though."

When it was put to the Loki star that Downey was forgiven for his past run-ins with the law, he added, "I think it's fair that Mr. Downey has been greeted with patience, curiosity and love and that [Ezra] Miller has gotten the same treatment. And that they're being allowed to work their art and be creative on that level...I didn't really get that."

Avengers: Doomsday is set to be released in May 2026, with Avengers: Secret Wars scheduled to arrive in May 2027. Stay tuned for updates as we have them.

This sounds so epic with so many characters that it's like a big tub of popcorn you can't easily stay steady with because you have a sprite and rices pieces in your hands and the kernels start to nose dive to the ground.

Stupid analogy, but Marvel is going to far with Secret Wars. What solo film will be successful after that? Or team up?

It's like the highest point in the mountain top but you inevitably have to come down.

@lazlodaytona - I think if they focus on good stories instead of spectacle and nostalgia, people will show up

@lazlodaytona - A truly creative filmaker can do it. It doesn't always haveta go bigger and more epic in scale; there are other stories to be told that can be just as gripping

@lazlodaytona - A reboot would be big enough because it gets to start small. Does that make sense? It was supposed to. It made sense in my head, but then I turned it into words and the sense went away somewhere.

@lazlodaytona @Izaizaiza @Lem1 - Agreed. I mean look at "Logan", for example. It had no where the size and spectacle as any of the previous X-Men movies but arguably the best of them all according to fans AND critics (AND the Academy, for what that's worth).

I think that the Mutant Saga is next (and it most likely is), you're going to see smaller but more emotionally powerful event films, especially given the core concept of the X-Men being the heroes who protect those who hate and fear them, which in and of itself is a pretty powerful concept that hasn't been explored in the MCU to any real degree yet. And if you think about it, you don't really need some big omnipotent threat to threaten existence on Earth when humans are perfectly capable of handling it themselves.

Sure the X-Men films will ultimately expand beyond Earth (i.e., the Shi'ar, et al), but I think they're going to be more or less contained to conflicts on Earth for a while and if handled correctly and with great writing and performances they can be every bit as profitable (maybe even more so) than some of the MCU's biggest films to date.

@lazlodaytona - I guess I mean like how Superman is a big deal even after massive story events like Justice League and The Flash.

Even without the JLA/Authority cameos, it would be a big deal (maybe even a bigger deal) because it's a new beginning and we get to start from the ground level again, knowing how big it can get.

@StSteven - Agreed. I'm reading the old 1980/90s Wolverine comics, and after they recast the character, I would love to see some street level, gritty stories with him. Not sure if they will let that happen, but those could be made pretty cheap

@Izaizaiza - Well I've said a couple of times here that what I think Marvel can (and probably will, to some extent) do is to use D+ as a way to introduce and further the stories of particular X-Men in between the movies once that saga gets underway. It makes perfect sense. I mean, both fans and the GA are already familiar with a lot of the main characters (obviously Wolverine will need no introduction by then) but instead of trying to introduce us to a bunch of new characters in each X-Men movie, you can do that in D+ shows (series or Special Presentations) so the introduction of new characters in the movies is kept to a minimum and you can get on with the story sooner.

So for example, if they were going to go the route of the first X-Men movie being the OG5 and the second one being Giant-sized X-Men (which I personally think is a cool idea but it's looking increasingly more likely that we're getting a live action take on "X-Men '97" which I'm also cool with), the could have a series/SP about Scott and Jean meeting for the first time, initial hating each other, but then finally hooking up before they head to meet Xavier. Likewise you could have a sort of "obnoxious buddies" one with Hank and Bobby, really only leaving Xavier and Warren to introduce in the first movie (along with the bad guys). Then you can do the same thing after the first movie to introduce the new players in the second movie with compelling back stories, i.e., Storm, Nightcrawler, etc.

Going back to Wolverine, however, because of his long past, he lends himself to much more of a multi-season anthology sort of show, which each episode taking place during a different time period in his life, starting off when he first discovers his powers, then the wars, Japan, Alpha Flight, the Weapon X program, etc. You can run the first season after the first movie and have it end with him showing up at the X-Mansion. Then season 2 would be what he's up to after the second movie, so like the stories you mentioned, Madripoor, etc.There are other characters that you could do that with as well, but I think that Wolverine lends himself to that approach particularly well.

@ObserverIO - I agree, but you're talking about two disastrous films with the theatrical JL and Flash (tho, I actually loved Flash...sue me :D ) that gets followed by a reboot starting with the single most recognizable symbol on the planet with a director who already is well established in the CB movie world.

Wilding has it great.

He can produce articles forever citing MTTS as the source. He can literally say that every character who ever appeared in MCU movies, D+ shows, all Marvel Comics, Fox Movies, Sony movies, Netflix, Marvel TV, etc. is rumored to appear in Doomsday & Secret Wars.

He can just cut and paste each one in as he chooses.

Nice work if you can get it.

@WakandaTech - guessing and being right 10% of the time qualifies you as a world class scooper.

I got a scoop for you all: every actor from a pre-MCU Marvel movie is enlisted. Ofcourse plans change, so don't blame me if not all of them appear in the final cut.

That said, the only legacy actors I need returning are Jackman, Maguire and RDJ. Having those three share the screen is a guaranteed 3b hit.

@Ryguy88 - I know Halle Berry is down to return, and also Sir Patrick Stewart. Imagine Wolverine running into Professor Charles Xavier again on the battlefield, with Tobey swinging overhead. Portals and more portals.

I will be so glad when the multiverse "saga" is over. Tired of seeing old actors reprise their roles. Just reboot and start telling good stories again
Ryguy88
Ryguy88 - 8/17/2024, 12:14 PM
@Izaizaiza - theres a few more I'd like to see before they start over. The ones that sucked were the short cameos... when they actually integrate them into the story like NWH and D&W it's pretty fun.

And if they go the battle world route, and set a few features in that world, I think there are some cool things they can do with that. Might as well get everything out of their system regarding the multiverse before going to the next phase.

@Izaizaiza - Well they went this route because almost everything after EndGame sucked and didn't make them the billions of dollars they were hoping for. It's called being desperate.
Izaizaiza
Izaizaiza - 8/17/2024, 3:07 PM
@Ryguy88 - I agree about getting it out of their system, and secret Wars is certainly the place to do it. I'm just ready for some good stories with these characters, and I hope we get that in the future
Izaizaiza
Izaizaiza - 8/17/2024, 3:09 PM
@CAPTAINPINKEYE - I agree. I think the biggest problem was that they let the cost of the Disney plus shows To balloon. I liked them giving some lesser-known characters a chance, and breaking the formula... But they need to learn how to make some street level films cheaply. There's no reason you can't, for example, have a great Wolverine film that costs less than 50 million to make
