The success of the first season of Loki and Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness, Marvel Studios has called upon writer Michael Waldron to write Avengers: Secret Wars.
Waldron, known for his Primetime Emmy Award winning writing on Rick and Morty, was called upon to create Loki for Disney+ in 2021 which according to Kevin Feige was the most-watched Marvel Studios Disney+ as of May 2022. That success lead to Feige brining Waldron on Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness to rewrite the film’s script.
Avengers: Secret Wars will be the second of two Avengers films releasing in 2025. The film has yet to name a director, but is set to release on November 7, 2025 and close out the sixth phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The first of the two Avengers films will see Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings‘ Destin Daniel Cretton directing with recently announced Jeff Loveness onboard to write the script.
Secret Wars will loosely be based on the story arcs with the same name from Marvel Comics released in 1984 and 2015. The name will likely be the only real connection to the comics, but as of right now no plot details are officially known.
Waldron will have a busy next few years, as he is not only writing the screenplay for Secret Wars, but has been called upon to write the untitled Feige produced Star Wars film. However, this information is more of a rumor than fact as Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy denied that the film was in active development.
More and more news still to come about the future of the MCU with only four projects announced for phase six.
