Overview

• Feige has publicly rejected a full reboot, calling the strategy a reset to streamline continuity.
• Industry insider Alex Perez says the reset would preserve roughly 75–80% of existing canon while allowing limited resurrections, recasts, or erasures of minor events.
• The narrative pivot is reported to align with Avengers: Doomsday in 2026 and Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027.
• Coverage indicates Marvel intends to honor Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa rather than replace him, while Scarlett Johansson has said she does not plan to return as Black Widow.
• Separate reporting circulates unconfirmed speculation that Robert Downey Jr. could return in a different role, including the possibility of Doctor Doom.
