Summary

Marvel Studios has been slowly taunt the debut of an organisation in theMCUthat I consider will be incredibly significant to Phase 6’sAvengers : undercover Wars . We ’re now deep into the MCU ’s Multiverse Saga , so certain separate storylines are set about to interweave , which is allowing the franchise ’s overall narrative to , thankfully , begin to make gumption . Heading intoPhase 6’sAvengers 5andSecret Wars , it ’s likely we ’ll soon have a functioning Avengers squad , will see more dramatic incursions , and will have a better idea of which villains the MCU ’s hero will battle .

Several approaching MCU project will lay the foundations forAvengers 5andSecret Wars , thoughit seemsThe Fantastic Fourwill be setting upSecret Warsthe most . Most notably , Marvel Studios has been continuously teasing theFuture Foundation ’s appearance inThe Fantastic Four , recently as branding on banners promotingThe Fantastic Fourat SDCC 2024 ( viaRob Paladino ) .

The Future Foundation plays a huge role in Marvel Comics’Secret Warsevent , which has made me think that some ofSecret Wars’most unexpected storieswill actually be tell in the MCU .

The MCU is headed towards the giving event of Avengers 6 , titled Secret Wars , and Phases 4 and 5 have set up the motion-picture show in eight primal agency .

How Marvel’s Future Foundation Connects To Secret Wars In The Comics

The Future Foundation was established in Marvel Comics in 2010’sFantastic Four # 579 , with Reed Richards forming the brass as a means to well serve humanity through philanthropic means . For the next five year , the Future Foundation aid several heroes across the reality , and also recruitedSpider - Man as an prescribed member of the Fantastic Fourfollowing Johnny Storm ’s death . This culminate in theSecret Warsevent in 2015 , which gave Mister Fantastic and the Future Foundation a crucial and seemingly impossible missionary station : saving as many as potential during an penetration .

To that closing , the Future Foundation build life history rafts that could theoretically carry anyone on display panel aside from an incursion . The life raft was make from the corpse of the fallen Living Tribunal , and used to stockpile the Future Foundation members , the Fantastic Four , and several other hero outside the creation while it was being destroyed . Unfortunately , the discussion section carrying the Invisible Woman , the Thing , and the Future Foundation , broke off , but the life tidy sum still saved several heroes , and I call back this would be the perfect way for the MCU ’s poor boy to outlast their own incursion .

If Marvel designate to faithfully recreate the comedian of the same name , then there are several important Secret Wars persona leave out from the MCU .

Avengers: Secret Wars is the sixth Avengers film and takes place during Phase Six of Marvel’s Cinematic Universe.

I’m Convinced The Fantastic Four Movie Will Set Up Avengers 6 With The Future Foundation

Marvel Studios has now included Future Foundation branding during two promotional opportunities - the first being the reveal of theMarvel Comics inspiration behindThe Fantastic Four . This make me think that the Future Foundation will have a much bigger role inThe Fantastic Fourthan first thought , and this presents the arrant chance for Marvel Studios to set up key story constituent forAvengers : Secret Wars . The Fantastic Fourcould feature the formation of the Future Foundation , or Pedro Pascal ’s Reed Richards could form the formation on - screen .

Marvel Studios commend five issues of Marvel Comics to read prior to the vent ofThe Fantastic Four : 1961’sFantastic Four # 1 , 1966’sFantastic Four # 48 , # 49,and#50 , and 2021’sFantastic Four : Life Story # 1 .

Some have speculate that , shouldThe Fantastic Fourbe set in another universe , the titulary team could make the move to the MCU proper after their own realism is destroyed . This means thatThe Fantastic Fourcould detail the creation of the life rafts , which would activate the Fantastic Four and other appendage of the Future Foundation to join the MCU ’s independent persistence . This would establish a crucial small-arm ofAvengers : hole-and-corner Wars’plot , as these life rafts could later be used to save submarine sandwich during a annihilative penetration consequence .

The Future Foundation Can Make Battleworld A Major Location In The MCU’s Phase 6

After the Future Foundation ’s liveliness raft carry several heroes aside from the universe of discourse in Marvel Comics’Secret Warsstoryline , the trade finally made its way to the jumble planet of Battleworld . This worldly concern was created when Doctor Doom absorbed the power of the Beyonders , allowing him to bring together fragments of the destroyed universes to create a young satellite inhabit by many different variants , with Doom presiding over them as God Emperor . Battleworld has already been teased in the MCU , so I would fuck forThe Fantastic Fourto in reality begin to set up this exciting fix .

In Marvel Comics , Battleworld comprise a series of " domain of a function " , each populate by different variations of iconic Marvel characters , though none had any computer storage of their previous life before Battleworld . God Emperor Doom employ the Thor Corps as his police military group , with Sheriff Strange as his right - hand - valet de chambre . Battleworld was an expansive and interesting earth in Marvel Comics , so I would make love to see it featured in several projectsin theMCU ’s Multiverse Saga , and the Future Foundation ’s debut inThe fantastical Fourcan allow for the MCU ’s next tease towards Battleworld ’s formation .

underground Wars is the exciting finis to the Marvel Cinematic Universe ’s Multiverse Saga , but it can be so much more than just one moving picture .

Battleworld Has Already Been Teased In The MCU

While the Future Foundation ’s show inThe Fantastic Fourcould be the easiest fashion for Marvel Studios to begin to tease the establishment of Battleworld , there have already been several ribbing towards Battleworld being featured inAvengers : Secret Wars . Throughout the release ofLokiseason 1 in 2021 , theories began to emerge suggesting the Void at the End of Time could become theMCU ’s variant of Battleworld . The Void is already full of the broken pieces of various pruned reality , and many variants already reside there .

Deadpool & Wolverinewill research the Void in more point , and could make it as a honest Battleworld . This seems even more likely as a copy of Marvel Comics’Secret Wars # 5appeared inDeadpool & Wolverine’sfirst teaser . Secret Wars # 5detailed Doctor Doom ’s thieving of the Beyonders ' power and his building of Battleworld . This seemed like a pretty overt tease towards Battleworld coming to the MCU . I ca n’t hold back to see howDeadpool & WolverineandThe Fantastic Fourtee up these huge story forAvengers : Secret Wars , making the Multiverse Saga ’s finale even more exciting .
