Draft talk:Avengers: Secret Wars

Russos and lead up rumors

I feel like we should mention the amount of speculation this was going to be a film in development, as well as about the Russos talking about it. This is just a general note for anyone (and a reminder for me). - Favre1fan93 (talk) 23:56, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Yeah I just added in a bit about this, but it was the most recent source so there are others out there from previously that we could probably add as well. - adamstom97 (talk) 00:26, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

There's some info about the fan speculation at the last paragraph of Multiverse (Marvel Cinematic Universe)#Theories and speculation which I added a while ago. InfiniteNexus (talk) 02:30, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, something along those lines, maybe fleshed out a bit more, is what I think would be good. Just to highlight the stepping stones of what's released so far that made many think this is where we were headed. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 20:41, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

I have added a paragraph of historical discussions from the Russo brothers and others, no speculation from fans or commentators but I'm not sure if we need to add that based on what I have so far. - adamstom97 (talk) 02:22, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

I really like your additions, Adam, and I think we should be good without any speculation discussed from commentators for now, unless the speculation is addressed by executives, which could make it noteworthy than. All the set-up info seems really good to me. Trailblazer101 (talk) 04:33, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

Current work

About the current status, @Trailblazer101, the article appears to have no major edits for weeks. Can you please find more sources about this film? The Media Expert (talk) 14:24, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

That is not how this works. We can't just find sources to add. Please stop making any of these random talk discussions UNLESS you actually have some content to add that benefits improving the articles, or else you are veering into WP:NOTAFORUM territory. And please stop always pinging me, I am not the only one who can respond. Trailblazer101 (talk) 14:31, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Media Expert, it is okay to be interested in these articles and we appreciate the work you do to keep them updated, but at this point in the development process we have to expect to not hear much about a film. If there is no news for us to update the article with then there isn't going to be any changes for us to make. Please be patient. - adamstom97 (talk) 15:57, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Proposed production article split

I have proposed that the production section for this article be split off to Production of Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. If you are interested in contributing to the discussion, you can find it at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film/Marvel Cinematic Universe task force#Production draft for Doomsday and Secret Wars 2.0.

Cast order

@MarioProtIV: you seem to misunderstand why the cast list at Avengers: Doomsday is the way it is, so just to clarify for you: per WP:MCUCAST, we add actors who are likely to get a bullet point to the end of the main cast until we get an official cast order from Marvel, then we move anyone who isn't in that order to the prose at the bottom of the section. So the actors who are listed in prose at the bottom of the Doomsday cast section are there because they are not in the official order, not because they haven't been confirmed by Marvel or by the actors themselves. In fact, Cumberbatch has confirmed that he will be in Doomsday but he is listed in prose because he was not in the official order. I know there are some editors at that article's talk page who didn't want certain actors to be in the main list because they hadn't been confirmed by Marvel, but that is not why we moved them to prose. Making the update per Step 2 of the MCUCAST guidelines just happened to move those actors out of the main cast list for now. So, until we get an official cast order for Secret Wars we follow the process outlined in Step 1 of the MCUCAST guidelines and add people who are likely to be starring cast members to the main bulleted list. - adamstom97 (talk) 18:50, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

I agree that we should be manually assuming this film's cast order will be the same as Doomsday's. While they have a very similar crew and a joint production article, that does not mean everything will be the same, and this article should follow WP:MCUCAST to a tee.

Ok that makes more sense. Thanks. MarioProtIV (^talk/_contribs) 19:53, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

Hemsworth

A clip going around from the Buzzfeed UK interview seems to hint towards Hemsworth returning for Secret Wars, by note of Ruffalo indirectly spoiling it, saying “6” films to a confused Hemsworth, who reads off projects he’s done and then says “we haven’t shot that one yet”. I checked his page and his two other roles in upcoming films have been shot, so I’m wary of adding him here because it seems like this was a slip of the tounge that he’s returning. I brought it up here to see if anyone else has any thoughts as personally I want to wait until we get confirmation because he didn’t say it was Secret Wars. MarioProtIV (^talk/_contribs) 20:02, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

All this suggests is that Ruffalo and Hemsworth will be in a superhero project together that hasn't been filmed yet. We can't say it is this one. - adamstom97 (talk) 20:07, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

That's why I brought it up here because after I watched the clip it didn't seem like confirmation at all. MarioProtIV (^talk/_contribs) 20:36, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

This sounds like WP:SYNTHESIS to me. — Trailblazer¹⁰¹🔥 ^{(discuss · contribs)} 20:35, 4 February 2026 (UTC)
