If there's one thing that helps the potential for a Secret Wars films to become real, it's how well it fits into the overall 'tone' the MCU has been aiming for since 2008.

After all, many of the bigger Marvel comic events tend to get outright miserable in tone. This isn't to suggest the MCU is never like this - after all, Infinity War had its fair share of heartbreaking moments - but few films are without their funny moments, and Infinity War meets this standard well and truly. It also has that perfect blend of internal conflict between superheroes, combined with one clear 'big bad', that has been seen in countless prior Marvel movies.

Any comic could be adapted into the 'MCU tone' by the talented staff that work on it, sure - but it's made all the more possible by beginning with a comic that already matches so many of the prerequisites found in films before.
