For Marvel Studios, the beginning of the end of the Multiverse Saga is almost here. In just a few months, cameras are scheduled to roll on Avengers: Secret Wars, the final film in the Multiverse Saga. While the film’s script has certainly undergone some changes since its inception–especially with Stephen McFeely returning to work with Anthony and Joe Russo–it is still largely believed to feature Battleworld, a patchwork reality created by Victor Von Doom by assembling fragments of other realities destroyed by incursions into a kingdom ruled over by him as its God Emperor.
Stephen McFeely is writing the script. We are right in the middle of the writing process. We’ve always worked very closely with Markus and McFeely through all the work that we’ve done together. It’s a little bit like getting back on a bike. We have a really codified process that we all work together through… It’s very complicated to iron out a story of this scale.

As in Marvel Comics 2015’s Secret Wars, the patchwork nature of Battleworld should allow for Avengers: Secret Wars to feature plenty of interesting Variants pulled from throughout the Multiverse. And according to a new report, a trio of familiar heroes will be among them.
According to industry insider Daniel Richtman, Hugh Jackman‘s Wolverine, Ryan Reynolds Deadpool and Tobey Maguire‘s Spider-Man will have major roles in Avengers: Secret Wars, as will Tom Holland as the MCU’s Spider-Man.
Though this is certainly not the first time these heroes have been mentioned, recent comments by Jackman and Maguire and rumored plans by Reynolds to remain involved with the MCU as it moves into its next saga certainly seem to reinforce the possibility that these stars will help close out the Multiverse Saga and launch the studio’s continuity reset. Additionally, rumors have the trio playing some role in the final act of Avengers: Doomsday, making their return for Avengers: Secret Wars a necessity.
