The big news from Marvel Studios’ San Diego Comic Con Hall H panel was that there will be not one, but two Avengers movies to end the Multiverse Saga phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU – Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars, both to be released in 2025.

We already knew that Kang the Conquerer, played by Jonathan Majors, will be the next big villain in the Multiverse Saga, so Kang Dynasty was a given. It is Secret Wars that has Marvel fans all excited, seeing as the original 1984 Secret Wars story was arguably the first mega crossover event in comic book history.
