As we approach the Secret Wars, the big Marvel Studios epic is beginning to take shape.
Avengers: Secret Wars, the climactic final film in the Multiverse Saga coming in 2015, has a writer attached and it’s a familiar face to the MCU.
Deadline reports that Marvel has tapped Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness screenwriter Michael Waldron for the massive Marvel Studios entry. The writer has been critical in shaping the multiverse within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, after creating and serving as head writer on Loki as well scripting the Doctor Strange sequel.
In Waldron’s last two MCU outings, we saw significant moves to crafting the Multiverse Saga. In Loki Season 1, the Marvel timeline was ultimately fractured into a multiverse of alternative realities. And then during Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Strange heads to several alternate universes, and meets Charlize Theron’s Clea who lets him know his travels have created an “incursion.”
All of this made Marvel Comics fans perk up with anticipation. Slowly but surely, the MCU has been crafting the worlds needed to make Secret Wars possible and we finally have the man to help make it happen.
In the 2015 Secret Wars comic, the various alternate Marvel universes combined in an incursion, forming a brand new pocket reality called Battleworld filled with several alternate versions of many Marvel characters.

With Secret Wars, Waldron will not only clean up the multiverse madness he created in his projects but also tie the film into at least 37 film and television projects from Marvel, and that’s not even counting rumored inclusions of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe characters and past X-Men from the Fox movies.
Avengers: Secret Wars will close out the Multiverse Saga in November 2025.
