‘I thought this was obvious’: ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’ is said to bring back an X-Men legend already in the MCU, so everyone pretend to be shocked

"That character? Really?" *Feigns surprise* "Oh wow!"

Avengers series will be released in 2027, following the fifth (Avengers: Doomsday) in 2026.

If it’s anything like the comic book of the same name, it will feature a godly entity (in the Marvel characters from every previous movie adaptation of their characters, which is incredibly exciting.

To put that into perspective, it could realistically mean we see Ben Affleck’s Daredevil, Chip Zien’s Howard the Duck, the 2005-2007 and 2015 versions of the Fantastic Four, Dolph Lundgren or Thomas Jane’s Punisher, Eric Bana’s Hulk, Nicolas Cage’s Ghost Rider, the characters of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (please, for the love of the late, great Stan Lee, nobody from Deadpool & Wolverine, Spider-Man: No Way Home, or the aforementioned Multiverse of Madness, television characters from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and MCU Netflix shows, and, of course, the various characters from Fox’s X-Men franchise — one of whom from the latter is now apparently confirmed.

Which X-Men character is confirmed for Avengers: Secret Wars?

According to Professor X, for the sixth Avengers film. Given that he already did so in the above-mentioned Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, that’s hardly a major revelation, but if you could pretend to be surprised, that would be great, okay?

Most s couldn’t contain their lack of surprise at what some described as “obvious” information. A few of the replies of that nature are below.

Meanwhile, a surprising number of individuals were keen to point out that Sir Patrick is rather advanced in years (he’s 84), prompting them to harshly ponder if he’d even be around in 2027. Here are some posts from those people.

It’s undeniably true that Stewart is no spring chicken, but he’s in remarkable shape for a man his age, and we’re sure he’ll be around to make his presence felt in Avengers: Secret Wars.

We, for one, are excited at the prospect of him getting a chance to mingle with the characters of the MCU and the wider Marvel movie multiverse. Let’s just hope that if his character meets his maker in the sixth Avengers flick, his death scene is better than the one in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Unfortunately, it’s almost impossible to disagree with the above post. Avengers: Secret Wars is scheduled to be released on May 7, 2027. We can’t wait, and we’ll obviously keep you up to date with every new development that arises.
