Avengers Secret Wars was revealed during San Diego Comic-Con 2022. It is believed to be an immediate sequel to Avengers The Kang Dynasty. The plot details for the forthcoming Avengers sequels are being crafted. But, Benedict Cumberbatch will be playing an antagonist in the role of Doctor Strange in The Kang Dynasty. Strange is currently a major character in The Multiverse Saga. His most recent film, Doctor Strange, was set in the Multiverse of Madness and seems to establish the Secret Wars storyline. The 2022 end credits of the film discussed an imminent “incursion” which is a phrase that was borrowed from the 2015’s Secret Wars comic storyline. It’s used to refer to two worlds that are about to meet. Michael Waldron is the screenwriter for Avengers. Secret Wars.

Marvel is focused on quality and not the quantity

The initial three seasons of The Infinity Saga were well-received by both fans and critics however, Phase 4 was not so lucky. The film was met with mixed praise. Marvel Studios has reportedly been reviewing its slate, with a more pronounced focus on quality and less quantity following “internal criticism” regarding Phase 4. While it’s not known, Marvel Studios may be contemplating the possibility of splitting Avengers Secret Wars into two films, and possibly extending The Multiverse Saga through another phase. This move has already been a factor in Echo and Ironheart as and Agatha and the Coven of Chaos.
