Overview

• Kevin Feige has emphasized a reset rather than a full reboot, pointing to a singular, unified timeline after Secret Wars.
• Insider Alex Perez, via The Cosmic Circus, characterizes the move as a “quick scrub” that keeps roughly 75–80% of existing continuity while erasing minor events and reviving select heroes and villains.
• Coverage frames the approach as enabling targeted resurrections or recasts, though high-profile return chatter — including Robert Downey Jr. in a new role — remains unconfirmed.
• Reporting indicates Marvel will continue honoring Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa rather than erasing him, as Scarlett Johansson reiterates that Black Widow’s sacrifice stands and she does not plan to return.
• Avengers: Doomsday in 2026 and Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027 are cited as the narrative pivot points where the reset is expected to take effect.
