20 Wild Theories For Upcoming Movies
3. It Will Soft-Reboot The MCU - Avengers: Secret Wars
Production of Avengers: Secret Wars is mere months away from kicking off and it's safe to say that we have virtually no concrete information about the Doomsday follow-up.
However, one oft-repeated theory is that Secret Wars will effectively act as a soft reboot for the MCU, allowing the franchise to relaunch with a clean-ish slate and perhaps even recast legacy heroes entirely.
This theory picked up more traction following an interview with Marvel honcho Kevin Feige last year, where though he danced around using the word "reboot," he intimated that Secret Wars would usher in a reset of the MCU with the new iterations of the X-Men being the focal point.
It of course remains to be seen precisely what a reset would mean in this context, and it's tough to believe that Feige would dispose of every single established actor given their enduring popularity.
But all the same, expect Secret Wars to mark a major inflection point for the MCU, and one which will surely define the series' long-term future.
