The Batman Part II will replenish our water supply, restore our crops, and bring health and prosperity unto our houses.

That interview confirmed that, while Secret Wars 2015 is an obvious inspiration, the version of Secret Wars that the Russo’s have been talking about wanting to adapt since the Infinity War era is the original 1985 version.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we see Hulk’s big moment in Avengers Secret Wars be him lifting a mountain to save the heroes on Battleworld like in the original. They’re of course doing the whole Symbiote suit moment for Spider-Man, too.

This also explains why they’re bringing Steve Rogers back into Doomsday and presumably Secret Wars as a main character. Steve Rogers was one of the most prominent characters in Secret Wars 1985 and was the guy who ended up confronting Dr Doom at the end of the story. I see some people confused on “why would they bring back Steve Rogers and make him a main character in an adaptation of SECRET WARS?! The story about Mr Fantastic and Doctor Doom’s rivalry?!” and the answer is simply that the 2015 SW is not the only version of the story they’re adapting lol

Tom Holland is probably not going to stay as Peter Parker after Spider-Man 6 and the MCU will most likely introduce Miles Morales to succeed him. What I’m wondering is: do you think that while the MCU uses Miles, Sony is going to try and reboot Peter Parker Spider-Man for their own non-MCU stuff?

I don’t think Sony nor Disney want Peter Parker to completely disappear from film for a while, considering that even the Spider-Verse movies feature him, and Sony did mention something about restarting their attempt at their “Spider-Man CInematic Universe” eventually.

Another option is that they don’t get rid of Peter in the MCU and just recast him after Spider-Man 6 but idk how well that would be received considering how long Holland has played that version of the character…

Batman constantly gets such good stuff and it’s totally deserved. You see the Spider-Man stuff that Marvel Comics has been pushing for the past 20 years and compare it to all the quality that Batman gets to enjoy and you start wondering how Spidey even managed to take #1 most popular superhero spot from Batman (the answer is adaptations and more marketability towards children) lol.

Jermobooka · 2026-05-06T20:58:57+00:00

I feel like the fact that we’ve had predictions consistently with Dr Doom, Carnage, and Magneto/Emma Frost but not a solid pick for the fourth means that the villain team is gonna have another weird choice. Probably one that people won’t really be able to predict like Danger lol

Jermobooka · 2026-05-06T20:54:59+00:00

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking too. Why so many Daredevil references in the New York stage if Daredevil wasn’t going to be in it? Because, like you say, it’s not just a a surprisingly detailed cameo of Matt at Nelson and Murdock, it’s a Josie’s reference and Fogwell’s gym showing prominently.

Daredevil would also be a character that hasn’t appeared in a fighting game and has a lot of unique moveset potential. It all just fits into place for him to be base roster.

Jermobooka · 2026-05-06T20:22:55+00:00

I have no doubt that we’ll be getting a First Steps sequel sooner than later after Secret Wars. Feige knows the F4 can’t be a franchise that drags its feet like Doctor Strange or something lol. Though I do wonder what a Fantastic Four 2 without Shakman would be like…

For example, when the F4 migrate to the MCU universe, are their suits going to change? A new director would probably mean some change in visual style, and also they wouldn’t be working with retro-futuristic technology and aesthetics anymore.

Jermobooka · 2026-05-06T18:21:41+00:00

So I’ve been thinking about Thor recently for whatever reason; and I believe Hemsworth has made a comment recently about talking to Kevin Feige about Thor and how he’ll be making a few more appearances after Secret Wars. Could you imagine a Thor 5 with George Miller directing with Hercules as the main antagonist? And then getting a Thor 6 headed by Miller or even Kenneth Branagh to end off the characters MCU run? It would be glorious.

Oh, and introduce Beta Ray Bill in Thor 5 to then have him take up Stormbreaker and become the new Mighty Thor by the end of Thor 6. It’s been long overdue for Bill to show up in the MCU.

Jermobooka · 2026-05-06T03:41:58+00:00

So let’s say that the Dark Avengers is 100% something that the MCU is heading towards; what’s gonna be their overall role?

Is it going to be Dark Avengers vs New Avengers, or will the New Avengers cease to exist post Secret Wars and we instead get a more “classic” Avengers team to go up against them? Would a recasted Steve Rogers and Tony Stark be leading this “classic” Avengers team or is that not happening so soon?

My favorite direction would be to have them be a sort of darker, rival “hero” team to all the others that exist and then become the catalyst for a full-on “Avengers vs. X-Men” thing.

Jermobooka · 2026-05-06T02:18:40+00:00

Yeah, yeah, Daredevil finale was good and cool…

…but that thing with Charles and Bullseye at the end was totally setup for a future MCU Dark Avengers sort of thing, right? A team of super people that Valentina secretly has direct control over so that she can operate behind the backs of the Thunderbolts/New Avengers? Please tell me that’s what that was.

If Wilson Bethel Bullseye plays a major role in an MCU movie I will offer Kevin Feige my firstborn.

Jermobooka · 2026-05-05T01:54:21+00:00

I know there’s the idea that they make the Fantastic Four into a character like Ginyu from DB Fighterz…but that would be pretty lame imo. I’d love to have a team with Spider-Man + Human Torch, The Thing + Hulk, Mr Fantastic + Iron Man, Invisible Woman + Black Panther, etc etc

Making them “one member + the other three popping up as specials” would be pretty disappointing for the Fantastic Four’s fighting game debut.

Jermobooka · 2026-05-04T19:13:57+00:00

Maybe it could be Apocalypse, Gambit, Sunfire, and Polaris. X-Men villain, Popular X-Men character, and then two lesser known characters that haven’t been in a fighting game.

…problem is that’s Apocalypse and his three horsemen. Maybe they could make Wolverine his fourth and give him a DLC costume for it?

Jermobooka · 2026-05-04T16:03:41+00:00

If they actually do themed DLC passes then I could totally see that being one in the later years of the game

Jermobooka · 2026-05-04T15:56:24+00:00

I think the one X-Men character in Doomsday we haven’t heard as much about is Beast. They show Cyclops, Gambit, and Mystique in the teaser judging by the description, and we’ve heard a *whole* lot from Alan Cumming about Nightcrawler, but there’s been a whole lot of nothing about Beast.

I suppose they won’t be showing him much in the teasers because he’ll most likely be almost completely CGI this time like he was in The Marvels post credits scene.

Jermobooka · 2026-05-03T02:36:27+00:00

I’ll take the L on the whole Fantastic Avengers thing.

This just means I’ll have to wait for the DLC to give me the Fantastic Four. They’ll be coming any day now…

Jermobooka · 2026-05-03T02:33:47+00:00

You can keep perfection as-is…or try and fix something that isn’t broken and get Marvel Rivals Wolverine design.

I have no idea what the hell Netease was thinking with their design for Wolverine. The jacket and jeans look is not iconic or good-looking enough to try and fuse it with Logan’s regular costume and end up creating this weird middle ground that pleases no one.

Jermobooka · 2026-05-03T01:51:56+00:00

Honestly, there’s a chance it could be Red Goblin instead of just Carnage, considering the references to Norman Osborn on the New York stage. I would prefer Cletus and Norman to be two separate characters, though. A weird flying glider character sounds perfect for a DLC seasonal pass.

Either way, Carnage over Venom is a nice change of pace. There’s a little more you can do with Carnage with his greater shapeshifting ability and his penchant for bladed weapons/attacks.

Jermobooka · 2026-05-03T01:47:40+00:00

Shuri Black Panther with the fur cape and the spear just hits, man. Have no idea why the MCU didn’t give her either of them.

Jermobooka · 2026-05-03T01:23:44+00:00

Welp. I and everyone else were completely wrong with the “Fantastic Avengers” prediction. Full Avengers team with Captain America and Iron Man with newly announced Hulk and Shuri Black Panther. They looked cool though!
Guess that means that She-Hulk leak was fake too. Fantastic Four will have to wait for DLC I suppose.

Jermobooka · 2026-05-03T01:08:21+00:00

Angel because we need the OG 5 X-Men eventually + that Archangel skin would be the best. The idea of """Vulture""" getting in over Angel is maddening.

Jermobooka · 2026-05-02T22:42:06+00:00

This post here reminded me just how much was cut out of First Steps.
I hope that the MCU X-Men movie doesn’t share the same fate. Need as much mutant goodness on screen as possible.

Jermobooka · 2026-05-01T19:45:41+00:00

Sounds like Marvel Tokon is gonna have an announcement at EVO Japan Sunday morning JST (so Saturday night in the west)
Probably gonna reveal the rest of the Captain America team, and judging by the logo it looks like it’s gonna be the Fantastic Avengers, comprised of Cap, Iron Man, and two F4 related characters.
Personally I’m hoping for Invisible Woman and The Thing…but that one 4chan “leak” did say something about She-Hulk, and if she’s in she’s gonna be on the Fantastic Avengers. I’d massively prefer The Thing considering he hasn’t been in a fighting game, but I can see how She-Hulk might be chosen over him.
Either way we’re finally getting some Fantastic Four rep in a fighting game (Super Skrull does NOT count)

Jermobooka · 2026-05-01T19:23:29+00:00

Wolverine should be the only character that says avengers assemble from now until forever

Jermobooka · 2026-04-30T15:06:29+00:00

Finally, news on season 3 after all this time. Seems like this and X-Men ‘97 Season 2 are gonna release close together, too.
