Should Secret Wars Bring Back the 'Main on End' from Endgame? Who Would be the Big 6 of The Multiverse Saga?

Yes

I don't think anyone's really earnt it at this point.
They were the OG avengers, responsible for catapulting the MCU into the stratosphere, and had been in 4 Avengers movies as leads by this point.
Endgame was also very much geared at being their final hurrah as Avengers. Like when the average fan thinks of the "Avengers" they're likely thinking of the OG 6 even though others got added to the team over time.
It was a fitting tribute to the six that started it all.
sanddragon9392025-12-08 08:09
Agreed.
I feel though that for the Multiverse Saga you could make the Secret Wars end-credits a celebration of all the big Marvel stars, pre and post-MCU, who've helped build Marvel as a cinematic brand. So whichever of the OG 6 Avengers who're gonna be in these movies, plus people like Tobey, Hugh, Ryan etc.

Don’t forget Tom Hiddleston!! He’s been around the MCU from the beginning as well (and has arguably provided some of the best MCU content the past couple of years)
sanddragon9392025-12-08 12:23
Of course!
The full list should include:
Patrick Stewart
Ian McKellan
Hugh Jackman
Tobey Maguire
Rebecca Romijin
James Marsden
Kelsey Grammer
Alan Cumming
Robert Downey Jr.
Chris Evans
Hayley Atwell
Tom Hiddleston
Paul Rudd
Chris Hemsworth
Anthony Mackie
Benedict Cumberbatch
Don Cheadle
Sebastian Stan
Mark Ruffalo
Basically anyone who's MCU royalty from Phases 1-3 onwards and/or legacy Marvel actors from Fox and Sony who show up.

Oh, and...

Portablelephant2025-12-08 07:56
No. We don't have a big 6 and we're not even closing out a series of movies at the point. There's been no build up for Secret Wars, no returning heroes or ensembles. There's no heavy weight behind these next two Avengers movies outside of RDJ returning to play a new character which also doesn't warrant a "sign-off" style moment. Who even are our core Avengers now?
kulitchipon2025-12-08 08:51
Honestly, yeah. It's so weird that MCU spent time making shows about so many characters only to abandon them/their storylines eventually. Would have been nice if we did get another core group after Endgame and then develop their stories afterward.
Single-Pianist-22112025-12-08 07:56
No
Kiplerwow2025-12-08 07:56
I think it would be Strange, Spidey, Yelena, Thor, Reed, and Loki in the end credits.
Successful_Sir_55452025-12-08 09:18
Replace Reed with Bucky and that would be the line up that makes the most sense. Unfortunately most of these characters don't even know each other yet so the impact wouldn't be felt.
Kiplerwow2025-12-08 09:56
I was tossing up Reed and Bucky a lot. I went with Reed because I feel he's going to play a much bigger role in Doomsday and Secret Wars than Bucky.
GreasyExamination2025-12-08 10:06
I wish I could post that gif of dennis from iasip where he says "shit I dont care either" because that would probably be the closest reaction I had to those names at this point in the mcu lol
NGGKroze2025-12-08 07:58
Secret Wars should have like Deadpool & Wolverine a reel about MCU behind the scenes.
Luuks_Vader2025-12-08 07:58
I think it was also a farewell to those 6 wasn't it? We saw Hawkeye and Widow once more but doubt they'll return for an avenger movie.
Arguably the Hulk we have come to know is also gone.
So in that sense I hope we don't get another send off like this. Not ready to say goodbye to Strange and Spiderman yet.

some of these people have only been in one movie post-endgame.
Drax has been in more projects.
a_o2025-12-08 08:05
Wong and five others
And Sam Jackson if Fury gets killed off
pigeonwiggle2025-12-08 09:36
Sam Jackson's going to die before Fury
tymelodies2025-12-08 11:23
Till you're 90
kyle03052025-12-08 11:51
Tbh based on how much SLJ loves the role, I think it’d be more like “‘til I’m 90… motherfucker”
sanddragon9392025-12-08 08:06
If they do something like this, it should just be to honour the biggest Marvel legacy stars who appear in Secret Wars, since I feel these movies are gonna be a culmination of Marvel's entire modern cinematic history.
So, Tobey Maguire, Hugh Jackman, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Ryan Reynolds, James Marsden etc.
Because the Multiverse Saga itself hasn't created any truly iconic heroes/franchises.
kyle03052025-12-08 11:46
Patrick Stewart over James Marsden. Marsden was underused in the FoX-Men movies. Fox Cyclops (and arguably Marsden) are as well known and iconic as FoXavier and Stewart
sanddragon9392025-12-08 11:48
Oh yeah, forgot that Stewart and McKellan are in it as well :P (In fact, they're confirmed...Maguire, Jackman and Reynolds are guesses on my part).
kyle03052025-12-08 11:53
Also because Patrick Stewart is retiring after these movies, it would be a nice send off for his career too
sanddragon9392025-12-08 12:23
Absolutely!
Realistic_Sound9132025-12-08 08:07
Well, not as big as the OG. But what if we filled those OG positions with characters who do carry that legacy, have a strong connection, or serve as close parallels?
Tony = Reed
Steve = Sam
Bruce = Bob
Thor = Loki
Nat = Yelena
Clint = Bucky
For the last one, I know we have Kate, but Bucky also fits since he’s on the same team as Yelena. Same too like Reed. I know we have Peter, but Reed has some parallel as the genius and he will definitely interact with RDJ's Doom, playing big role in Secret Wars.
Meizas2025-12-08 08:09
Well, since we now finally have multiple teams + a bunch of solo heroes, I don't think we have that. I can see it being the Thunderbolts some day
disneylegospider12025-12-08 08:10
There is no main 6, nor should they prematurely force one.
Secret Wars’ credits should be a full tribute to the pre-MCU live action Marvel movies, especially since it’s likely gonna be the last time they reappear.
Sunshine1452025-12-08 08:10
Nobody from the main universe. Only multiversals.
RadSkeleton8082025-12-08 08:15
Not necessarily the new "big 6" but I totally see them recreating the big 6 post with Sam, Yelena, Kate, Jen, Riri or Peter, and Thor or Jane Thor
HellaWavy2025-12-08 08:17
If anything, it should be for the legacy characters/actors: Tobey, Ian, Patrick and Hugh.
NrFive2025-12-08 08:21
I’m guessing it will be the big farewell to the OG Marvel movies. X-Men etc.
Kaden41202025-12-08 08:37
I think we’re gonna see the OG avengers and og x men team up in secret wars. That seems to be what it’s building up to with rumors of Chris Evans coming back. I have a sinking feeling they’re gonna try and get everyone on screen at once for one last hoo rah before the MCU shifts into a semi rebooted phase with new actors and stories for the future.
Big_Epsilon2025-12-08 09:22
It would depend what happens! If this is an end for a few of them, it would be nice.
I think any time a big character is killed off, it should happen. If Bucky, Thor, Fury, Hawkeye died, they’d deserve a goodbye
eagc72025-12-08 09:26
Does this saga even has its own Big 6?
pigeonwiggle2025-12-08 09:34
Endgame was the END of the first 3 phases.
Doomsday is the BEGINNING of the next 3.
BuddhistChrist2025-12-08 09:37
Howard the Duck
Iron Fist
Warlock
Nightcrawler
Iron Man
Darth Maul
CaptHayfever2025-12-08 09:37
"Main on End" is just short for "Main Title Theme on End Credits"; it's not an extra special name.
DistinctNewspaper7912025-12-08 09:38
It was based on how much they affected the universe and noone comes close until this point.
Wong and Yelena would be the two leads at this point, it is that weird
steak4take2025-12-08 09:46
Those Endgame shots were Hot Toys ads.
Uncanny_Doom2025-12-08 10:34
I don't think so because this was done in tribute to the 6 actors that were the core of the original Avengers and also the focus of not just that quadrilogy of movies but also three other trilogies over a 10-year period as well as strong support from Ruffalo, ScarJo, and Renner. Like you really have to just look at how much of The Infinity Saga was built around these six.
Coilspun2025-12-08 11:32
No. This was special, and it felt right for the actors/characters of the series.
