So, people online who say they have read John Hickman‘s Secret Wars say that a lot of this concept is basically just straight up from that comic, which has me really excited because I’ve heard that graphic novel is pretty well regarded among comic book fans as one of the best events ever written in comics history.
I’m really loving what the concept art potentially suggests here what we could end up getting. All of the Hulks on what I assume in a world/reality comprised entirely by Hulks. Peter Quill with White Vision. Peter Quill with Wong and all of the Young Avengers/Champions. Doom on a throne in a castle ruling over everyone else in a medieval type setting with Doctor Strange and what looks like Yelena possibly as his lackeys and Reed Richards in chains kneeling. A lot of really interesting and cool character pairings and situations.
I saw someone online suggest that what if Avengers: Doomsday basically just starts out with reality already having been changed, and someone has to figure out and learn what is going on, and Secret Wars is basically everyone coming together to defeat Doom and aspects of different realities combined into one whole reality as a sort of “rebooting“ of the entire universe. No wonder the Russo Bros. said that they were taking an exciting and radical approach with these films. They’re really going for it.
Honestly, I was pretty lukewarm towards this, but this actually gets me excited if they manage to pull it off. Granted, this is concept art, and a lot of this is subject to change or be left on the cutting room floor, but the fact they’re even considering any of this has reignited my interest.
