The potential comeback of Maguire’s Spider-Man in Avengers: Secret Wars holds great allure. Set to release in 2026, Secret Wars aims to be Marvel’s grandest crossover yet, necessitating appearances from iconic figures to eclipse the scale of Avengers: Endgame. A reunion of three Peter Parkers in Secret Wars? Now, that’s something.

Marvel Comics has featured two notable Secret Wars storylines. The initial one, initiated in 1984, emerged from a partnership between Marvel and Mattel, with plans for a toy line accompanying a massive comic book crossover event. This inaugural Secret Wars marked Marvel’s pioneering official crossover, spotlighting a 12-issue series as the ultimate clash among the Marvel Universe’s mightiest heroes and villains.

Where Will Spider-Man Fit Into Avengers: Secret Wars Arc?

In one of the narratives, a formidable antagonist named The Beyonder transports our heroes to a realm known as Battleworld, where they find themselves ensnared in seemingly endless combat against other villains. Several heroes experience profound changes to their storylines, such as Spider-Man, who encounters his iconic all-black costume, eventually revealed as a sentient alien symbiote that tries to dominate Peter’s psyche before bonding with Eddie Brock to become Venom.

While the original Secret Wars holds a special place in fans’ hearts, the MCU appears to draw inspiration from the 2015 comic book storyline. In this iteration, the Prime Marvel Universe (Earth-616) faces impending doom.

Multiple Beyonders are orchestrating the collapse of the Multiverse through Incursions, where universes collide and become unstable. They employ Molecule Man, a unique figure present in nearly identical forms across all worlds, as a fail-safe. The Beyonders can trigger his powers to annihilate a universe. But will this be the storyline MCU will go ahead with remains to be seen.

Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man series is available for streaming on Prime Video.
