CONTAINS POTENTIAL *SPOILERS*

Avengers: Secret Wars could be turned into two movies, new Marvel report claims
- and a major MCU star might have spoiled that they're part of its cast

By Tom Power published yesterday

True or false? You decide

    Two new rumors about Avengers: Secret Wars have emerged online
    The Marvel movie is set to cap the studio's Multiverse Saga
    MCU fans aren't sure what to make of the latest round of speculation

Avengers: Secret Wars is still many, many months from being released, but new
gossip about the Marvel movie has sparked excitement and concern within the
comic giant's fanbase.

In recent days, a pair of rumors have circulated online that have caused quite
a stir among Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) devotees. And, while this latest
round of speculation is just that - i.e. you should take it with a giant
pinch of salt - fans have reacted in different ways to what's recently been
discussed about the Marvel Phase 6 film.

I cannot stress this enough: *potentially huge spoilers* immediately follow for
Avengers: Secret Wars. Do not read past this point if you're steering clear of
everything to do with its development.

Rumor #1: Avengers: Secret Wars might be split into two parts

Let's deal with the less spoilery rumor first: Secret Wars is reportedly being
turned into two movies.

Initially discussed by industry insider John Campea in late January, this
particular rumor, which was first revealed by MCU leaker Daniel Richtman, has
begun to gain traction again in the past 24 hours.

According to The Cosmic Circus, whose track record regarding scoops can be
described as mixed at best, there's a "very high chance" that Marvel will split
the sixth Avengers movie in half. If true, we could get Secret Wars Part 1 in
December 17, 2027 and Secret Wars Part 2 sometime in 2028.

Predictably, the MCU fanbase is divided on this claim. Some say that, given the
sheer amount of characters featured in the film's predecessor Avengers:
Doomsday, the potential inclusion of even more characters in Secret Wars, and
the need to tie up so many story threads from the Marvel Multiverse Saga, it
would make sense for Marvel to turn Secret Wars into a duology.

Sure, that would aid the comic giant and parent company Disney's bottom line
because they'll be able to sell tickets for two highly anticipated movies
instead of one. Breaking up Secret Wars into two parts, though, would benefit
it narratively and from character development viewpoints because there'd be
more time devoted to its story and wrapping up certain character arcs.

Other fans aren't convinced that the Multiverse Saga capper will be split in
two, however. The main argument here is that Avengers 6 will, according to The
Hollywood Reporter, start filming in mid-2026. If Marvel has only recently
decided to turn it into a two-part tale, it might not only impact Secret Wars'
December 17, 2027 release, but also - as The Cosmic Circus puts it - the
movie has now entered a "conditional start" phase. That means that "Marvel
cannot legally film anything for Secret Wars until a new verification of the
contract is achieved".

In layman's terms, Marvel would need to overhaul its entire filming schedule,
the legalities associated with doing so, and lock in its likely huge ensemble
cast for an even longer shoot. With some actors likely tied down to other
projects that the cameras will start rolling on this year and next, that could
cause all manner of production headaches.

Considering how secretive Marvel Studios is at the best of times, it's nigh-on
impossible that we'll learn anything official about Secret Wars' status for a
while. We could hear more at San Diego Comic-Con 2026 if Marvel holds its
regular Hall H presentation. Until it announces that it'll be attending that
convention, I'd advise caution over believing this particular rumor.

Rumor #2: Thor will survive the events of Avengers: Doomsday

A piece of gossip that's far more likely to be true, though, is one concerning
Chris Hemsworth's Thor.

For some reason, fans have long suspected that the God of Thunder will die in
Avengers 5. Maybe it has something to do with Doomsday reversing what happened
to Thor and Loki in Avengers: Infinity War.

But I digress. In a recent interview with Buzzfeed UK to promote Crime 101, a
new action thriller starring Hemsworth and serial MCU spoiler Mark Ruffalo, the
pair appeared to let slip that the Asgardian will be part of Secret Wars.

Trying to work out how many Avengers films he'd played Thor in, Hemsworth was
told by Ruffalo that he'd appeared in six. When Hemsworth questioned that,
Ruffalo added: "Well, there will be" before Hemsworth said: "Yeah, we haven't
shot that one [yet]."

Again, this isn't confirmation that Thor will be part of Secret Wars' cast.
Hemsworth and Ruffalo may be pulling a fast one, especially in light of the
latter's previous form when it comes to ruining big surprises in MCU projects.
Nonetheless, the fact that they mention it has led some fans to believe that
Thor will show up in one of 2027's most exciting new movies.

The only way we'll know if he will is when Doomsday lands in theaters on
December 18.
