The MCU's eventual soft-reboot can give Marvel Studios' franchise a fresh new start, but it also threatens the franchise's most impressive record.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT If Marvel Studios reboots the MCU after Avengers: Secret Wars, it could undermine the franchise's greatest feat. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has become a massive franchise with hundreds of coexisting characters and dozens of parallel storylines.
As the Multiverse Saga heads to a climax, an MCU soft-reboot after Avengers: Secret Wars seems to be taking shape. Marvel's intertwined parallel realities may warrant an overhaul that brings them all together and form a single universe, possibly with the addition of new versions of retired characters. A single MCU reality where a definitive version of the Avengers, Spider-Man, the X-Men, and the Fantastic Four coexist could be the main appeal of whatever comes after the Multiverse Saga ends.
The MCU’s Eventual Reboot Might Waste Marvel Studios’ Streamlined Continuity Not only did Marvel Studios succeed in creating an extensive cinematic universe that has followed a single overarching storyline for more than a decade, but it also accomplished the unlikely feat of incorporating previous non-MCU Marvel franchises like Fox's X-Men, Sony's Spider-Man and The Amazing Spider-Man, and Netflix's Defenders.
The MCU's single continuity is something other cinematic universes can only wish for. Franchises like the DC Extended Universe, the Harry Potter Wizarding World, and Transformers have attempted a similar expansion, but they have faced the need to reboot or soft-reboot their continuity in order to start a new attempt without baggage.
