Russo Brothers Confirm 'Avengers: Secret Wars' Will Blend Two Iconic Comic Arcs

The 2027 Marvel film will draw from both the 1984 and 2015 'Secret Wars' comics, with a unique adaptation tailored to the MCU's multiverse saga.

Directors Joe and Anthony Russo revealed 'Avengers: Secret Wars' will incorporate elements from both the 1984 Jim Shooter and 2015 Jonathan Hickman 'Secret Wars' comic runs.
The film, set for release on May 7, 2027, will serve as the culmination of Marvel's Multiverse Saga, following 'Avengers: Doomsday' in 2026.
The 1984 storyline features the Beyonder transporting heroes and villains to Battleworld, while the 2015 version focuses on Doctor Doom ruling a multiverse-collapsed Battleworld.
The Russos emphasized their approach will be a 'loose adaptation,' blending key themes and characters from the comics with original MCU storylines.
Leaked concept art hints at Doctor Doom's central role, multiverse variants of iconic characters, and connections to Disney+ series and prior films.
