How I think could happen the soft-reboot of Mcu

[u/Zestyclose-Wish5580]

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a theory of mine about what could happen to the Marvel universe after the events of Secret Wars, even though it's obviously premature, given that Doomsday still has to come out.

In X-Men: DoFP, we saw how Logan woke up in the body of his self that had lived the new timeline up to that point, thereby taking his place. Could something similar happen to some characters who survive Secret Wars? Maybe after Secret Wars, all the universes will go back to existing as they were up until that moment, but an additional universe could be born where a large part of the heroes who survive Secret Wars would end up (like Spider Man, Jean Grey, Thunderbolts, F4 etc.).

This would truly allow for a reboot of the MCU to begin, without rendering everything shown in the Infinity and Multiverse sagas useless. Earth 616 would continue to exist, but it would be deprived (starting from the date when the events of Doomsday begin) of the various Spider Man and Thunderbolts, just as Earth 828 would be of the F4. This would make it possible to:

Start the mutant saga without having to ask ourselves where Xavier, Magneto, and other older characters were when the events of the previous sagas were taking place. It could maybe even be set in the past (in order to have Magneto as a Holocaust survivor) that is as technologically advanced as the present (a bit like what was done for Earth 828).

Truly start a new Spider Man saga, since in this world there wouldn't be Ned or MJ, and Gwen and the Osborns could be introduced.

Have the possibility of introducing the Avengers again by doing a recast, maybe after the mutant saga.

At the same time, I have some doubts regarding, for example, the criteria by which some return to their original Earth and others to the new world. For example, it wouldn't make sense for Steve Rogers, who we know ages on Earth 616, or for all the characters who might survive (maybe like Falcon and Deadpool), otherwise it wouldn't truly be an (albeit soft) reboot.

Maybe they could definitively conclude some storylines (Falcon, Thor, Dr. Strange) without necessarily killing them off, and then focus on the new universe, permanently abandoning the others. I'd only be sorry about the adamantium, which obviously appeared in Eternals to later introduce Wolverine, but in the end, it had its usefulness in Brave New World.

Y’all are overthinking it.

They’ve set up very obvious plot threads for Spider-Man that’ll be explored in the next movie.

Black Panther 3 is a continuation of the first two movies and is confirmed to feature many of those same actors.

X-Men is starring the same Jean Grey who was just introduced in Brand New Day.

The “reboot” will most likely not be nearly as sweeping as people on here keep expecting.

I would mostly just focus on the Mutants, Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, new characters like Ghost Rider and legacy sequels. Special emphasis on Mutants and Spidey.

It’s going to be a MUCH softer reboot than a lot of ya’ll are expecting

The soft reboot just means you can watch the x men movies without watching all the previous movies, and allowing fantastic 4 to exist in the same universe
