Avengers: Secret Wars is expected to close out Marvel Studios’ Multiverse Saga. This means that the epic crossover event will feature fan-favorite characters from across the last three phases, including all three cinematic versions of Spider-Man.
At the time of writing, the only confirmed cast members for Secret Wars are the Fantastic Four actors (Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom. However, several other superheroes have been rumored to appear, such as Ryan Reynold’s Deadpool and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. Others who are reportedly in the mix are the three live-action Spider-Mans, played by Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland, which prompted artist artoftimetravel to create a piece of fan art that sees them battling one another for the survival of their respective universe. Check out the stunning Secret Wars fan art below.

Captain America 4 Trailer Debuts Epic New Red Hulk Footage as Tickets Go on Sale
To mark tickets going on sale, Marvel Studios debuts a new Red Hulk-filled trailer for Captain America: Brave New World.
Shared on Instagram, the Secret Wars fan art sees Maguire, Garfield, and Holland’s Spider-Mans fighting one another in space. “It is rumored that the three Spider-men will fight each other in Avengers: Secret Wars for the survival of their respective universe. Who do you think would win this fight?” the artist captioned the post.
Avengers: Secret Wars was announced at 2022’s San Diego Comic-Con and is expected to serve as a direct sequel to Avengers: Doomsday (originally announced as Avengers: The Kang Dynasty). While story details remain under wraps, Marvel Studios has begun to lay the groundwork for Secret Wars in some of its movies. The 2022 film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness seemingly set up the Secret Wars storyline with its end-credits scene mentioning an impending “incursion,” a term pulled from the 2015 Secret Wars comic book storyline that is used to describe two worlds that are about to collide. 2023’s The Marvels also dealt with multiple realities, with the movie ending with Monica Rambeau trapped in a parallel universe that is home to the X-Men.
The Russo Brothers Are Returning to Direct Secret Wars
Destin Daniel Cretton, who helmed Shang-Chi, was originally set to direct the fifth Avengers movie back when it was still known as The Kang Dynasty. While no director was ever officially attached to Secret Wars, Michael Waldron had been hired to script both Avengers sequels following his work on Loki and Multiverse of Madness. However, at San Diego Comic-Con 2024, Joe and Anthony Russo were confirmed to be returning to Marvel to helm the retitled Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars, with Stephen McFeely joining them as writer for both movies.
