require to catch up before the next release , or just revisit the universe for a refresher ? Here ’s the order to observe the entire MCU timeline .
MCU Secret Wars Will Be A Variant Of The Comics Version
It Won’t Be An Exact Adaptation
When expect ahead atAvengers : Secret Warswhich will reportedly be the culmination of the MCU ’s current Multiverse Saga , it ’s of import to remember that Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribić’sSecret Warsevent turn in 2015 is far too monolithic in scope to ever be adapted perfectly on - screen . The MCU is not nearly produce enough to do so even if Marvel Studios want to . There are far too many type and idea that have yet to be introduce on - silver screen , and in all probability wo n’t be as the complect universe gets closer to 2027 .
Furthermore , the MCU has always been inspired by the original comics as a base alone . While there may be similar core narrative with Easter eggs and references , there ’s never been any kind of direct adjustment of the narrative seen on the Thomas Nelson Page . It was n’t the character withCaptain America : Civil War , and it certainly was n’t the case forSecret Invasion . As such , the same will be seen withAvengers : Secret Warseffectively being a form of the epic comic crossover voter . This could result in raw characters fulfilling similar function , such as Loki potentially replacing Doctor Doom and his pivotal function in the 2015 comic .
Doctor Doom’s Role in Secret Wars Explained
Evolution Into A God Emperor
Although Doom could n’t resist giving in to his villainy such as claiming Mister Fantastic ’s family for himself and punishing the other members of the Fantastic Four , the undeniable fact was that Doom relieve the multiverse by saving what he could . As such , it sure enough seems as though saving the multiverse is exactly what Loki has done in his fresh role as theGod of story , though he ’s sure as shooting done better than Doom via the restoration of destitute will and the fact that nothing was remade in his ikon ( something an earlier and darker version of Loki might have wished for ) .
Loki season 2 , installment 6 rounded the news report of the show off with a story full of twist , turns , Easter eggs , and references concerning the wider MCU .
MCU Doom Won’t Be Ready For His Secret Wars Role (But Loki Will)
Doom Hasn’t Even Been Introduced Yet…
Even if he ’d already been introduced in the MCU ( which he has n’t yet ) , there ’s just not enough time to get Doom where he want to be to become his ultimate self as God Emperor , at least not in any variety of meaningful or satisfying way . In all likelihood , Doom will be enclose in2025’sFantastic Fourreboot , though that would only give Marvel Studios two years to give him any variety of further development beyond his foundation . Debuting Doom and move flat to God Emperor would be extremely inauspicious .
Likewise , there are far too many elements inSecret Warsconnected to Doom ’s role that do n’t yet exist in the MCU either like the Beyonders and Molecule Man . Thankfully , incursions and multiversal tampering have already begin in the MCU as seen inDoctor Strange in theMultiverse of Madnessand with theCouncil of Kangsseen inAnt - Man and the Wasp : Quantumania . Furthermore , Loki now seems to wield the power necessary to keep reality together in the face of a dying multiverse as it belike will in the MCU’sAvengers : underground Wars(even if it ’s a patchwork realm of timeline and branches ) .
Theory: Loki Will Replace Doom And Create Battleworld In Avengers 6
Loki Will Salvage What He Can From The Multiverse
All in all , Loki ’s fresh role as the God of Stories does make it seem like he ’d be the perfect Doctor Doom replacement , giving Marvel Studios some welcome respiration room when it comes to debuting the classic Marvel villain . Across his 14 - year MCU career , Loki has typically been a villain who ’s now seek to save everything as a ransomed zep thanks to theLokiseries . It makes him a impregnable Doom counterpart for this particular character ( despite his more genuine heroic intentions ) , especially now that Loki has understandably become the most important lineament in the MCU multiverse .
It ’s also worth noting that Loki ’s new throne at the end ofLokiseason 2 is correct in the middle of thenew multiverse tree created out of the old Sacred Timeline . Beyond the connections to Asgard ’s World Tree alone , this could also be a tease to Doom ’s Yggdrasil commode catch in 2015’sSecret Warscomic . Perhaps becoming the God of Stories was only the beginning withLoki season2perfectly positioning Loki to become his own kind of God Emperor inAvengers : Secret Wars(though only metre will tell ) .
