One Change in the MCU You Want to See After SECRET WARS. I'll Go First...

After Secret Wars, I hope Marvel Studios no longer labels the cinematic universe as Earth-616.

As a longtime comic book reader, I found it annoying (and lazy) that Marvel Studios chose to use "616" when it is definitely NOT Earth-616.

I like that it's called 616, personally. 616 to me is "this is the mainline continuity".

So as far as the films go, yes the MCU is the mainline continuity, within the world of story. If you want to call it whatever fans use on the Marvel Fandom Wiki, that's your own prerogative and no one is forcing you to change it.

CoffeeIsMyPruneJuice2025-11-15 17:47

I just say "comics 616" and "MCU 616" at this point. They are distinct multiverses.

post-Secret Wars "New Core MCU" (Earth-199999 Revised). The central idea is a soft reboot that retains 75-80% of the original Sacred Timeline while using a catastrophic Incursion event—catalyzed by Avengers: Secret Wars—to seamlessly merge elements from various past film universes (Fox, Sony-adjacent, New Line, Universal) into a single, cohesive, and more comic-accurate continuity.

There is nothing “seamless” about merging wildly different worlds and continuities. It just creates more questions than answers.

RDDAMAN8192025-11-15 17:29

God no, if anything do a reboot but just start fresh. No more nostalgia nonsense, we need to move on from the old movies

Long_Ganache_13352025-11-16 13:49

It’s called soft rebooting it the MCU timeline is going to be revised

Gashuffer132025-11-15 17:01

Ok Iman. We get it already.

Buntalufigus882025-11-15 17:02

I want them to be more willing to gamble and lose than keep being safe with their stories. Cult classic and amazing movies aren't made worring about the budget and bottom line.

SqueakyTHROWER2025-11-15 17:02

Cyclops to be a well written character and an actual lead character.

Herogeen2025-11-15 17:40

This will already be in Doomsday and Secret Wars

TexasPeteEnthusiast2025-11-15 17:43

Cyclops should be the center of the Mutant storyline.

poppythepupstar2025-11-15 17:03

I also thinking using Earth-616 is a mistake for Secret Wars. For the MCU purposes, I want Maria HIll to come back and actually be a part of Secret Wars in the MCU like she is in the comics (but in a better non annoying capacity like she is in most of the comics lmao)

Legonistrasz2025-11-15 17:03

Coulson and the agents reintroduced

No_Imagination_24902025-11-15 17:10

It is the 616 of the MCU multiverse. It's different from the 616 of the comics multiverse. They're two entirely separate multiverses.

frankydie692025-11-15 17:12

One change you say?
The fans. Won’t elaborate.

zero_eternal2025-11-15 17:28

Yeah, I have to agree.

The fandom was so much better when we didn't have misogynists and shower-avoiders breathing down our necks telling us that "It peaked at Endgame bro ☝️🤓" or "Three female leads? What's this? The M-She-U? 😝"

Like, take a bath you smelly virgins...

GeorgeNada03162025-11-15 17:21

I would love some more satanic characters.

Technical-Usual-30672025-11-15 17:22

That everything is re-done, to the point where when things are all reset, it'd be like the Avengers, Fantastic Four, and ALL of the MCU characters have ALWAYS existed alongside each other the entire time, in the Earth 616 comic accurate universe, not the combo 999999/616 universe depicted in the films. Anything that occurred that we didn't see can be explained as having happened in the latest comic accurate 616 iniverse, but prior to our being aware of it. Hence, we can have our science Bro-off between (hopefully mustacheless) Reed Richards, Bruce Banner, and Tony Stark, as if they'd always existed together in the same universe and timel8ne! It'd be the best way to correct how/why all of the current MCU characters weren't together in the same universe and timeliness. It's also a way to incorporate deceased/missing Marvel characters back into the main universe without having to explain it. It's also a way to re-do the character Mar-Vell (the ORIGINAL Captain Marvel) properly as depicted in the comics, including the addition of a long forgotten character, Rick Jones, who was completely forgotten in the MCU! That, and finally giving us other characters we never got to see, like a gamma powered Doc Samson, etc. Let's see how things are handled and if we finally get characters we haven't yet seen on screen.

ToughFox44792025-11-15 17:25

I just want Quake and the real Bobbi Morse on the Avengers

RDDAMAN8192025-11-15 17:29

A full fresh restart. Pull a DCU and launch a brand new storyline but keep some of the old actors. But really we need a total reboot

Varooova2025-11-15 17:31

No more solo movies or series. Establish teams and let them face different kinds of problems. Midnight Sons, X Men, Young Avengers,

Wooden_Passage_26122025-11-15 17:31

West coast avengers and x men teams

everybody_is_awful2025-11-15 17:36

No more RDJ.

TexasPeteEnthusiast2025-11-15 17:41

No, More RDJ! RDJ cast in every role! Stark LMDs turned doombots!

Molin_Cockery2025-11-15 17:38

More Shang Chi. I will never get over how badly they dropped the ball on developing that storyline.

Rockky672025-11-15 17:43

Ways into and out of the rest of the multiverse sealed up would be good enough for me.

j1h152332025-11-15 17:44

I’d like to see the negative fans move on to whatever their next thing is

Herogeen2025-11-15 17:45

Finally make the X-Men, Spider-Man and F4 the central characters of the entire saga.

eBICgamer20102025-11-15 17:59

And to what result? The Avengers are far more important than F4 could ever will. Spider-Man isn't (and will never be) central because of studios politics. X-Men is in a precarious position because the whole raw deal with them happened to be with either Wolverine or Deadpool.

goblinite22025-11-15 17:46

More smaller scale stories that don't have a global or universal stake.

Byzantinologist2025-11-15 17:49

Change Andrew Garfield's duology to a trilogy.

potVIIIos2025-11-15 17:56

Bring back unknown/little known actors in roles.

Tom Hiddleston, Scarlet Johannsen and Chris Hemsworth were small time. RDJ was known but not huge. You get what I mean

More of that please.
