Two new rumors about Avengers: Secret Wars have emerged online
The Marvel movie is set to cap the studio's Multiverse Saga
MCU fans aren't sure what to make of the latest round of speculation

Avengers: Secret Wars is still many, many months from being released, but new gossip about the Marvel movie has sparked excitement and concern within the comic giant's fanbase.

In recent days, a pair of rumors have circulated online that have caused quite a stir among Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) devotees. And, while this latest round of speculation is just that – i.e. you should take it with a giant pinch of salt – fans have reacted in different ways to what's recently been discussed about the Marvel Phase 6 film.

I cannot stress this enough: potentially huge spoilers immediately follow for Avengers: Secret Wars. Do not read past this point if you're steering clear of everything to do with its development.

Rumor #1: Avengers: Secret Wars might be split into two parts

Let's deal with the less spoilery rumor first: Secret Wars is reportedly being turned into two movies.

Initially discussed by industry insider John Campea in late January, this particular rumor, which was first revealed by MCU leaker Daniel Richtman, has begun to gain traction again in the past 24 hours.

According to The Cosmic Circus, whose track record regarding scoops can be described as mixed at best, there's a "very high chance" that Marvel will split the sixth Avengers movie in half. If true, we could get Secret Wars Part 1 in December 17, 2027 and Secret Wars Part 2 sometime in 2028.

Comment from r/marvelstudios

Predictably, the MCU fanbase is divided on this claim. Some say that, given the sheer amount of characters featured in the film's predecessor Avengers: Doomsday, the potential inclusion of even more characters in Secret Wars, and the need to tie up so many story threads from the Marvel Multiverse Saga, it would make sense for Marvel to turn Secret Wars into a duology.
