It has been a while since we have heard the incandescent phrase“Avengers Assemble”on the big screen. And we can’t really blame Marvel, as the MCU is still struggling to find a strong footing. Without a proper build-up like Phase 1, 2, and 3, one cannot expect to get a reaction as profound as theAvengers: Infinity WarandEndgamemovies received. However, Kevin Feige is definitely cooking up something with the MCU; aSecret Warsrecipe that we can only smell from a distance for now.
With all the flops and disappointments at the box office, Marvel has taken a step back with the number of yearly releases to work on its quality. The upcoming Avengers films,DoomsdayandSecret Wars, are supposed to bring back the same zeal and emotions fans once felt while watchingInfinity WarandEndgame.
After some recent casting announcements and looking at the projects laid down neatly in the path of the two massive team-up events, the excitement in the air is already igniting sparks of hype. So let’s have a look at the cast, release date, plot, and everything else we know so far about the final movie in MCU Phase 6,Avengers: Secret Wars, and get on the hype train.
What is the release date forAvengers: Secret Wars?
AfterAvengers: Endgame, plans for the MCU’s Phase 5 and Phase 6 were already in motion, but it was only at the 2022 San Diego Comic-Con that they were confirmed (viaLooper), along withAvengers: Secret Wars. The two Phases, as well as Phase 4, suffered massively due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, and later, the SAG-AFTRA strikes threw a wrench in the gears, further delaying production.
As it stands right now,Avengers: Secret Warsis scheduled to release in theaters on June 05, 2025, as opposed to the previously announced date of June 11, 2025. This sets the Phase 6 finale movie at a year gap fromAvengers: Doomsday’s new release date (June 18, 2025), reflecting anInfinity War-Endgame-like dynamic and timeline at play.
Who is in the cast ofAvengers: Secret Wars?
Avengers: Secret Warswill be the bright-spectacled final saga of the multiversal Phase 6, so we can expect the cast for the movie to be just as huge and varied. Not only will we get to see the return of a few familiar faces, but there’s also a high possibility that new characters will be introduced, as well as variants of some already established figures.
Marvel has played its cards close to the chest, keeping fans on their toes and their imaginations running wild. Still, a few tantalizing crumbs of information have slipped through the cracks, giving us just enough to cook up some juicy speculations. Dubbed the grand finale of MCU Phases 4-6, fans can expect a star-studded ensemble of their favorite characters to return for one last showdown.
The 2024 San Diego Comic-Con was a treasure trove of exciting revelations, with Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige confirming that theFantastic Fourwill be a part ofAvengers: Doomsdayas well asAvengers: Secret Wars(viaGames Radar). Additionally,Robert Downey Jr.is set to make a stunning return—not as Iron Man but as the formidable Doctor Doom, a character whose significance in the comic storyline cannot be overstated.
Among the heroes who have navigated the complexities of the multiverse, Spider-Man (Tom Holland), America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez), and Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) are expected to play a significant role in the upcoming war. Their extensive interactions with the multiverse make them key figures in the multiversal conclusion.Avengers: Secret Warspromises to surpass even the monumentalAvengers: Endgamein terms of its character roster.

Returning heroes from theInfinity WarSaga, such as Falcon (Anthony Mackey), Captain Marvel (Brie Larson), Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), the Wasp (Evangeline Lily), and Loki (Tom Hiddleston), have all had significant roles in the Multiverse Saga. Their inclusion inAvengers: Secret Warsis almost a given, as they continue to be integral to the MCU’s overarching narrative.
But wait, the excitement doesn’t stop there. Newer characters introduced in Phases 4-6, like Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld), She-Hulk (Tatiana Maslany), and Shang-Chi (Simu Liu), are also expected to join the fray. With their unique abilities and fresh perspectives, these heroes will add a new dynamic to the team. As the MCU continues to expand its universe, the potential for surprise appearances and unexpected alliances is higher than ever.
Moreover, there arerumors of a new Black Pantherbeing cast right now at the MCU headquarters. If the whispers hold water, we might also seeChadwick Boseman’s replacement as T’Challa in the epic confrontation.
What do we know about the plot ofAvengers: Secret Wars?
The upcomingAvengers: Secret Warsis still shrouded in mystery, especially given the shift in direction from the initially plannedAvengers: The Kang Dynasty.While Kang was originally set to be the primary antagonist, the movie has now been rebrandedAvengers: Doomsday, with Doctor Doom taking center stage. This change could actually work inSecret Wars’ favor, asAvengers 5can now more directly set up the events of the highly anticipatedSecret Wars.
TheSecret Warstitle draws inspiration from two major Marvel comic storylines, one from 1984 and the other from 2015, with the latter being the most probable inspiration for the movie adaptation. In this version, the multiverse faces a catastrophic incursion, which prompts Doctor Doom to create the Battleworld—a patchwork planet where different universes collide.
As the all-powerful God Emperor Doom, he rules with an iron fist until a group of heroes team up and restore the multiverse. This plot could serve as the foundation forAvengers: Doomsday(which could focus on the creation of Battleworld) and continue intoAvengers:Secret Wars.

Another interesting theory making the rounds is thatAvengers: Secret Warscould act as a universal reboot, offering Marvel the chance to recast actors and potentially resurrect fan-favorite characters in the main MCU timeline. This aligns with the multiverse-resetting plot of the 2015 comic, as well as the earlier 1980s storyline, both of which involve heroes being taken out of their universe until the balance is restored.
As fans count down the days, the excitement for this ultimate crossover event is reaching a fever pitch. With promises of heart-pounding battles, emotional reunions, and plot twists that will knock our socks off,Avengers: Secret Warsis set to be a fitting conclusion to the Multiverse Saga.
Avengers: Secret Warsis set to hit theaters on July 01, 2025.
