MCU Phase 4: 5 Things You Need To Know About The Ultimates
3. Their First Appearance
The team have appeared in several comics, with the most prolific being the 'Secret Wars' event, which led to a brand-new Marvel Universe that would become the headcanon for Marvel comics in the future.
In Ultimates #1, the group was formed in order to 'solve ultimate problems'. The story was initially developed by Al Ewing in 2015 and was intended to pay homage to the original team of the same name.
Originally, the Ultimates (2002) was a modern adaptation of current heroes but with the creation of the 2015 team, comic book fans saw an entirely new crew consisting of all-new heroes. This displayed that, from the beginning, The Ultimates ought to be taken very seriously.
If The Ultimates is coming to the silver screen, then it is vital that Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios adapt the group in the way that they were intended - a brand-new band of heroes that could be the key to regaining hope in a post-Endgame world.
