2. Secret War (Not Plural)

Yes, the Secret Wars of the Marvel Universe are getting kind of ridiculous at this stage, but at least there's no denying the premise to this particular one.

Secret War, a storyline penned by former Marvel heavyweight Brian Bendis, could do to the Avengers what Civil War did to Captain America. The event itself is predicated on Nick Fury's deception and the locale of Latveria, Doctor Doom's home country and the nation he commands with a literal iron fist.

In any case, the story opens as Nick Fury discovers a plot involving the Latverian prime minister (Lucia von Bardas) financing supervillains to commit atrocities in the United States. In response, Fury assembles a team to infiltrate Latveria and to put the plot to bed, one comprised of Daredevil, Black Widow, Wolverine, Captain America, Spider-Man and Daisy Johnson (who audiences will no doubt recognise from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.).

Though Secret War lacks the roster of Marvel's Infinity Saga, the story possesses immense crossover potential for the MCU as we know it. Fans have been clamouring to see the likes of Daredevil, Like Cage and Skye collide with characters from the cinematic side of things for ages now, and Secret War presents the perfect opportunity for such a thing to happen.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
