Drawn from Earth across the stars, the Marvel Universe’s greatest villains and heroes are set against one another by the mysterious and unbelievably powerful Beyonder, with the winner promised the ultimate prize. But as battle lines are drawn, new alliances forged and old enemies clash, one among them is not willing to settle for anything less than godhood. Can even the combined might of the Avengers, Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four and the X-Men prevent Doctor Doom from becoming the most powerful being in the universe?


Silicon Era have spotted the fact that Marvel recently filed a trademark in relation to the title "Secret Wars" (the synopsis for which you can read above) for use in a video game format. Interestingly, it also mentions live action and animated televison or movie adaptations as well as merchandise!



However, I wouldnt bet on this having anything to do with The Avengers as the image above clearly shows that it's video game related more than anything else. Interestingly, it's worth noting that it was Marvel who filed the trademark for the series Marvel: Ultimate Alliance as well rather than publisher Activision. I wouldnt mind betting that this has something to do with the third installment of the popular video game franchise!
