RUMOR: Marvel Studios Has Plans To Adapt DEVIL'S REIGN, WORLD WAR HULK And More In The Near Future

Marvel Studios is still figuring out how best to build to Avengers: Secret Wars, but a number of smaller story arcs are being worked on, including a greater exploration of the MCU's supernatural side...

Marvel Studios may still be laying the groundwork for Avengers: Secret Wars and a possible soft reboot of the MCU, but there are plenty of other stories in the works that don't revolve around Variants. 

The Cosmic Circus is reporting that the idea is to still develop several smaller story arcs which may be largely standalone and won't necessarily tie into what's happening with the Multiverse. 

Among them is an adaptation of the Devil's Reign storyline which saw The Kingpin outlaw vigilantes after becoming New York City Mayor. Dark Reign and Gang War are also thought to be influences, with Daredevil: Born Again and Spider-Man 4 expected to be key. 

There's also going to be a focus on world powers attempting to acquire materials like Vibranium and Adamantium to deal with superheroes, including creating their own superhumans (enter, The Sentry). 

The Hulk and She-Hulk will reportedly be key to this, with the current idea being to introduce more Hulks starting with Red Hulk, a.k.a. President "Thunderbolt" Ross in Captain America: Brave New World

According to the site, "this will have dire consequences in the MCU story, potentially leading to a World War Hulk project down the road. That's been described as a 'Civil War style project,' acting as an Avengers 4.5, in which heroes will band together to take on several Hulk threats around the globe."

As expected, Ironheart and Armor Wars will dig into whatever the Department of Damage Control has been up to and it appears we'll explore the role some of Iron Man's greatest foes have played in what's led us here, including the late Obadiah Stane, Justin Hammer, and Ultron.

On the supernatural side, there are plans for a Midnight Sons project when a major threat to humanity emerges that The Avengers aren't equipped to deal with. Lilith and Mephisto have both been considered as the big bad, with Wong and Blade expected to lead this group. 

Again, only time will tell how many of these projects pan out but it feels like we still have a great deal to look forward to in the coming years. At this rate, Marvel Studios will need to delay the next Avengers movies as squeezing all of these in with a reduced release schedule doesn't seem possible. 

Whether Disney will be happy with that is another matter, though it sounds like Young Avengers could fill the void to some extent.

The fact that this set of rumors has been posted as an "article" two times in as many days by the same person is just beyond belief.

Didn't they already do a version of it on the 3rd Thor film?
OptimusCrime
OptimusCrime - 12/21/2023, 3:21 PM
@lazlodaytona - that was Planet Hulk
lazlodaytona
lazlodaytona - 12/21/2023, 7:55 PM
@OptimusCrime - shoot, sorry. my brain didn't notice the difference. How is this one different to Planet?
OptimusCrime
OptimusCrime - 12/22/2023, 3:49 AM
@lazlodaytona - Planet Hulk is where he is sent to Sakaar by the Illuminati, World War Hulk is where is back on Earth and goes berserk for Revenge

@lazlodaytona - i agree!
Although ive never been much of a Hulk fan. The Planet/World War Hulk comics were some of my favorite comics ive ever read

@OptimusCrime - I was born in '80 but grew up on re-runs of the old show from the 70s and I just have a soft-spot for the guy i guess

DEVIL'S REIGN? he hasn't even got a proper outing yet and they already setting up DD's female replacement. I know this is just BS RUMOR news that josh posts for rent money but still, it does sound like the direction the mcu has been going. There will be no willies left.

@harryba11zack - Calm your tits. They're probably just talking about Fisk becoming mayor of NY and outlawing vigilantism. Which is just the rumored story for Spider-Man 4

@harryba11zack - when they say adapt at marvel assume it's very loosely done and potentially a mixed bag

Josh literally took one article from Cosmic Circus and made two articles here from it. So far. Hack.

Is there anything we can do as a community to stop this kind of constant and or repeat articles on this site?
Izaizaiza
Izaizaiza - 12/21/2023, 3:49 PM
@EZBeast - probably not posting on them would be a good start. If we all ignored them, Josh would probably stop writing them.

bkmeijer1 - 12/21/2023, 5:22 PM
@EZBeast @Izaizaiza - not clicking and commenting is probably it yeah.

But it would be nice just not to see them at all. A filter for rumours, like how some sites have for NSFW, would be great (I'm kinda pitching an idea here @NateBest)
NateBest
NateBest - 12/21/2023, 6:40 PM
@bkmeijer1 - I would need to figure some things out to make it work, but I like the idea!
Izaizaiza
Izaizaiza - 12/22/2023, 11:03 AM
@bkmeijer1 - yeah! I love that idea. A bright “rumor” label With the title it would be nice
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 12/22/2023, 11:08 AM
@Izaizaiza - titles often already say "rumoured", so I try to avoid those already as much as I can. What I wanna see is a badge like there is for news, feature and opinion.

Izaizaiza - 12/22/2023, 11:09 AM
@bkmeijer1 - 👍🏻
