How would you handle the MCU reboot?

So with the MCU seemingly rebooting in some fashion after Avengers Secret Wars I wanted to discuss some potential ways as to what the MCU will look like after

Here’s how I would handle some of the characters

The setting would be in the 1990s
This makes it more believable for when the mutants show up instead of them appearing in the 2030s and makes it more believable as to how Magneto is still alive

X-men:
Original 5 vs Magneto vs the sentinels
(Cyclops
Jean
Beast
Angel
ice man)
(New cast)

Fantastic four
Same cast
The events of first steps have happened but in the 80s instead of the 60s and they’ve fought Dr Doom before
The villain would be annhilus

Blade

Ironman:
Would be similar to Ironman armoured adventures and the new ultimate universe where Howard stark (maybe played by RDJ) was iron man but is killed and teenage (or early 20s) tony stark takes up the mantle and tries to find his place in the world

Captain America:
Sam Wilson is the new government issued Captain America (Steve is in the ice still)
Sam has to live up to the legacy of Steve rogers who was an icon

Not sure why people are saying this as if it's an established fact.

I’d retire it all together.. goal has been accomplished

I would not reboot it yet. I would just keep the same continuity. Introduce the X-Men without explaining how or why. Why didn't the X-Men show up until now? No explanation. How is Magneto still alive? No explanation. Focus on the story and the characters, on the quality of the script and presentation. People appreciate this more than anything else.

On top of this, make stand-alone, non-canon movies about the characters who died in the MCU. Iron Man, Steve Rogers, T'Challa. Just like DC is making The Batman movies outside of the DCU.

Have a big, three-part final movie in 2037-2038. And then hard-reboot the entire universe in 2040.

End everything with Secret Wars, nothing is carried forward except the concept of the marvel multiverse. Wait a solid 5 years and start over in another universe like the Ultimates or whatever. No actor carried forward, exceot maybe America Chavez. Start with the X-men but acknowledge the greater world (Avengers, F4, etc) right off the bat.

No offense, but that sounds like the worst possible thing they could do.

Yall are gonna be pretty surprised when it just winds up being the exact same continuity we have now, but with the X-Men and Fantastic Four folded in

It wouldn’t take much to have the Fantastic Four get stuck in Earth-616. After that, an Inhuman-style sudden awakening of the X-gene could kick off the Mutant Saga.

Wooden-Radish-90082025-10-19 04:05

Yeah, I didnt say if it would be good or not. I said that that's what's gonna happen. People thinking that they are gonna reset everyone's story's and start from scratch are gonna be pretty disappointed.

It's gonna be the same MCU but with F4 and X-Men in it. That's it. And that's fine.

It’ll be only the characters, not the universe. Marvel Studios wanted the make the best comic-accurate Fantastic Four movie they could (to make up for 20 years of trash). Their home-world will be unnecessary and irrelevant going forward.

Wooden-Radish-90082025-10-19 05:52

It doesn't matter what you accept.

Also, this may come as a shock, but this sub, no matter what it's overall opinion might be, has no bearing on what actually happens in the MCU. No one here is going to fuck around and find out because nobody here makes decisions.

I don't know what to tell you man, it's happening.

eBICgamer20102025-10-19 05:57

>I don't know what to tell you man, it's happening.

And how are you so sure when I'm not even sure what's happening after Secret Wars? Are we playing tug-o-war here?

Do a hard reboot and get rid of everything that isn't working.

CharacterOld86912025-10-19 06:42

Make it a new Earth that is not 616, but I want Beyonders and Molecule Man involved. And The Maker has to be a result of Secret Wars somehow.

SeekerVash2025-10-19 07:24

There is no reboot.

All they're doing is merging the Avengers, Fantastic 4, and X-Men universes into a single universe. Feige has very clearly stated that.

Aromatic-Cupcake48022025-10-19 18:45

Feige purposely avoided using the word ‘reboot’ in his comments knowing it would be blown out of proportions.

All he said was a reset to a singular timeline, once dead heroes like Tony Stark and Steve Rogers would be recast eventually which is inevitable but not immediately.

It’s the same MCU, tidying up the multiverse, all heroes in one universe with new faces of the X-Men. Still MCU 2008-present.

I would stop watching for sure if they did a full reboot. A soft reboot/merge is fine.
