The new MCU rumors are loaded with news about Secret Wars, the Fantastic Four, and the return of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) continues to make headlines with rumors that promise changes to our expectations. From the amazing plans for Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield to Secret Wars and The Fantastic Four, here’s everything you need to know!
A new chapter for the MCU
Rumors always keep us on the edge of our seats, and this time is no different. Some of the latest rumors about the MCU have included some updates on some of the most anticipated productions, including The Fantastic Four, Shang-Chi and Avengers 5/Secret Wars sequels. But perhaps most surprisingly, Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire could return as Spider-Man in new projects.
Noted insider Daniel Richman is excited about Sony Pictures bringing back Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield in their Spider-Man roles, albeit in a different context than the MCU. After the phenomenal success of No Way Origins, it’s no surprise that Sony wanted to capitalize on the momentum. However, it looks like this time, instead of reuniting with Tom Holland, we might be seeing these Spider-Men in their own multiverse story.
This decision reportedly comes after a dispute between Sony’s Tom Rothman and Marvel’s Kevin Feige over the casting of Spider-Man 4. Could this be a resolution to those disagreements?
Marvel and his great plans for the Avengers
As for the upcoming Avengers release, Richtman mentioned that Avengers 5 (formerly known as Avengers: The Kang Dynasty) may take a more standalone approach and that Secret Wars may be split into two films. This suggests a strategic shift at Marvel to better capture the complexity of these epic stories.
On the part of Shang-Chi, the news was very little, but everything indicates that the series will start next year. Simu Liu will once again play the hero under the direction of Destin Daniel Crayton. The working title remains “The Ruins of Time” and is said to feature Kang as the main villain.
Franklin Richards and the new rumor
The rumors about the “Fantastic Four” are also interesting. Franklin Richards is said to be part of the original group. In the comics, Franklin has very powerful reality-altering abilities, and is speculated to be responsible for transporting the heroes to the main MCU timeline.
To cap it off with a flourish, an exclusive rumor suggests that Natasha Lyonne, who was recently confirmed for The Fantastic Four reboot, could be playing the female version of Doctor Doom. As crazy as this theory sounds, we can’t rule anything out with the multiverse shenanigans in the MCU. IGN’s Joshua Yale fueled these rumors with a cryptic tweet saying, “If I told you who was playing, you wouldn’t believe me.”
The key to the future of the MCU
The main keyword in this amazing sea of lies is secret wars. This saga promises to be a major event in the MCU, possibly redefining everything we’ve seen so far. The speculation that Secret Wars might be split into two films only adds to the rumours. Imagine how many heroes and villains from different universes clash in a great battle that will decide the fate of many.
The inclusion of Franklin Richards with his ability to alter reality and the return of Maguire and Garfield as Spider-Men in their own multi-verse adventures are clear examples of how Marvel is weaving interwoven stories together. This not only keeps fans excited, but also allows us to explore new dynamics and narratives never before seen in superhero cinema.
The future of the MCU is shaping up to be one of the most exciting in film history. With every rumor and every new piece of information, fans have more reasons to be excited. From the long-awaited return of Maguire and Garfield, through new chapters of The Avengers and Shang-Chi, to the epic Fantastic Four, it’s clear that Marvel has a lot of tricks up its sleeve. Stay tuned for more updates, because in the MCU world, the only constant is change and surprise.
