“I don’t have any plans. But I would love it!”
The excitement surroundingSecret Warshas reached an all-time high, especially after the cheeky snippet featuring Deadpool and Wolverine. In a clever cautionary ad urging theatergoers to ditch their phones, these two are seendiscussing the upcoming saga.
Fans are on the edge of their seats, speculating wildly about what’s in store for them. They’re anticipating astar-studded affair,with multiple superheroes making cameo appearances, all thanks to the comics.
Avengers: Secret Wars,is set to be the sequel to Avengers 5, and is slated for release on June 15, 2025. As for further details, well, it’s kept tightly wrapped. While Raimi’s involvement isn’t confirmed, he’s certainly chomping to be a part of it all.
Bringing Back Scarlet Witch Could be A Potential Fix for Sam Raimi’s Biggest Mistake in MCU!
If Sam Raimi does take the helm of the upcoming film, it could serve as the perfect opportunity to rectify one of the MCU’s biggest recent mistakes.
The decision to sidelineElizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch in the MCU caused headaches for director Sam Raimi, especially with her link toSecret Warsnow becoming apparent. This is true especially given her status as a Nexus Being now being confirmed in the MCU.
Writer Michael Waldron convinced Marvel Studios to alter their plans, pitting her against Doctor Strange inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessinstead of making her the main villain in Avengers 5, which was actually the original plan. And it still feels like she wasn’t given her proper due.

Furthermore, the abrupt transformation of Wanda Maximoff into a villainous figure inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessreceived a mixed reception from fans. Many were disheartened by this unexpected turn, feeling it was out of character for the beloved hero.
Despite her powers showcased in the film, sidelining her as a villain also felt like a missed opportunity. Now, Marvel must navigate her redemption arc, which could have been better saved for the culmination of the phase of the Multiverse Saga.
Only time will tell how the MCU addresses these hurdles and whether Scarlet Witch will indeed make a comeback in the saga along with Raimi.
Avengers: Secret Wars is set to release on July 31, 2025.
