Secret Wars: Breaking Down The 40 Regions Of Battleworld

5. New Xandar

Along with being a pleasing resurrection of the classic Secret War event, the new Battleworld is also an opportunity for Marvel to remind audiences of some of the big storylines they're soon to be adapting to their Cinematic Universe. In this case the storyline in question is The Infinity Gauntlet, due to turn up on screen in the third and fourth Avengers films. Xandar was the home world of the Nova Corps, before it was destroyed, and New Xandar lasted on Ego The Living Planet until it regained its intelligence. Anyway, Infinity Gauntlet only tangentially involves Nova, and is more about Thanos deleting half of existence. Eek.
