SECRET WARS Writer Jim Shooter Has Good Reason To Believe Marvel Studios Is Making A Movie Version

@Manmarvel - Yeah. It seems more than obvious at this point.

@MosquitoFarmer - the Russo Brothers wanting to do it is why I thought it would be a for sure thing.

@bkmeijer - my guess is that it will be a two parter and the first will be more like the Kang wars which will then open things up for characters like the Beyonder and Living Tribunal to get really crazy in the second part as a reaction to the damage caused by Kang.

@bkmeijer - (from a previous post)
knocturnalzen10 - I think Doom should be treated a bit like Thanos. A solo movie would ruin the mystery and make him seem boring when you actually see him do stuff because you'd sympathize with him too much.

Have him be a background overarching chess player of a character in the MCU, though he should still have some action here and there (especially if folks like Galactus comes to Earth).

But in a possible two-part Secret Wars: Battleworld and Secret Wars: Doomworld movie, do him slightly backwards as the way they did Thanos in IW/Endgame. In IW/Endgame, Thanos got more time and explanation at first, but in Endgame, he took a back seat and seemed more like a normal "gotta beat this guy" type of villain.

For Doom, (according to how they do Secret Wars) he should be a major character, but it's the Beyonder that should seem like the mega-boss of sorts. Also, Secret Wars should be marketed as the final MCU movie (if they decide to end/take a break/reboot/etc. after that if it comes out awhile from now). The slight (seeming) "redemption" of Doom would have Doom potentially sacrificing himself to get the Beyonder's powers to save the universe from cataclysm or whatever they decide the issue will be (a callback/parallel to Iron Man in Endgame).

BUT, the twist will be that Doom...is still Doom. He uses the powers to make a more perfect world, a Doomworld. And it ends — only to surprise folks and have another (truly final) Avengers/MCU movie come out the following year titled 'Secret Wars: Doomworld'. That movie could give Doom more time and depth, though he'd eventually be stopped by Reed Richards and others. Other past villains (and heroes) could be Doom's minions, a bit like the comics, so that there will still be major epic battles.

If that's the last MCU movie, it should end while showing what different MCU characters/groups are doing with their lives after Reed "fixes" things back to normal. They should continue doing their normal thing, but it'd be a nice long scene and send-off for the MCU, ending with showing Stan Lee as the One Above All. "Excelsior! Nuff said."

@TMW1987ProudProWrestlingFan - I plan on haunting an IMAX.

@CAPTAINPINKEYE - If they're using the 2015 version (which all the talk of multiversal wars would suggest) then they have multiple variants from all previous live-action version to pull from and they could even feature characters from the comics that have never been seen on screen before.

@WEAPONXOXOXO - It sounds like it will primarily be based on the 2015 version by Jonathan Hickman (which is way more exciting conceptually), but as far as story beats and visual homages, I'm sure there will be a lot of elements taken from the original too.

I doubt it will be a direct adaptation of either one, but something new combining the best elements of both epic stories.

They already homaged this excellent moment:

@WEAPONXOXOXO - there is only one Secret Wars in my book. And the Russos Bros were raised on that one.

@WEAPONXOXOXO - THE reason I love Marvel

@PicolasCage - Exactly it would be proper mind f*ck.You do it like the comics that each major event in the movies could be like district of battle world.

And everything is ruled by DOOM!
