The reboot will unify the MCU into a singular timeline, allowing Marvel to recast legacy characters like Iron Man and Captain America. Feige compared the process to other iconic franchises: “They’re looking for a new James Bond. David Corenswet is the new Superman, and he’s been incredible. That’s always how it works”.

"As we as we kick off phase six with with 'Fantastic Four,' and as everybody knows it ends with 'Secret Wars,'" Feige said.

Marvel is set to recast characters in its upcoming X-Men franchise and Tony Stark, a character that became synonymous with Robert Downey Jr in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Overall, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is Marvel's most unique movie in years (Shakman nailed it with Earth-828's '60s aesthetic), but it's too uneven to crown a “masterpiece” by their standards. Still, expect all of the “Marvel is back” quotes plastered onto trailers after opening weekend.

Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige has explained how Avengers: Secret Wars will change the Marvel Cinematic Universe going forward. The next few years will see another huge two-part team-up, with Doomsday and then Secret Wars. But what will come after that?

Can Doctor Doom beat Thanos? It's an increasingly common question among Marvel fans, with Robert Downey, Jr.'s Doctor Doom set to inherit the title of the greatest enemy of the Avengers from Josh Brolin's Mad Titan, the almighty Thanos.

After the conclusion of Marvel's Secret Wars in 2027, the Marvel Cinematic Universe as we know it will be forever changed. "Reboot is a scary word,” Marvel boss Kevin Feige told Variety in a massive new interview.

According to a new rumor, Pedro Pascal’s Reed Richards / Mister Fantastic might not be the leader of the eponymous superhero team in the upcoming MCU movies Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. This comes after The Fantastic Four: First Steps director Matt Shakman indicated that Reed will lead the Avengers in those movies.
