10 Marvel Legends Who Could Return After Secret Wars (Multiverse Madness!)

 

🔁 Marvel Actors Who Might Return After Secret Wars (Multiverse Edition)

The multiverse has cracked wide open—and with Avengers: Secret Wars on the horizon, no actor is ever truly gone in the MCU.

Marvel Studios is building toward the ultimate crossover event, where timelines collide and alternate realities merge. That means we could see the return of beloved actors who left the MCU… or who never even officially entered it.

Here are the top Marvel actors who might make a multiversal comeback (or debut) after Secret Wars.

1. 🦸‍♂️ Robert Downey Jr. (Tony Stark / Iron Man)

Yes, Tony died. Yes, it was powerful. But with Secret Wars pulling in variants from other universes, a version of Iron Man could return—even if just briefly.

📽️ RDJ could appear as:

  • A Superior Iron Man from an alternate Earth

  • A villainous variant (rumors say he was once considered for Kang’s role!)

  • A mentor AI version like in the comics

🧠 Why it makes sense: It’s Secret Wars—the biggest MCU event ever. If there's one time to bring back RDJ, this is it.

2. 🇺🇸 Chris Evans (Steve Rogers / Captain America)

Evans' Cap got his happy ending, but fans would love to see him return—maybe as Hydra Cap, a variant with a dark twist.

📽️ He could appear as:

  • A villain version of Cap from another timeline

  • A multiversal version of the original Cap helping the new Avengers

  • A younger Steve in a flashback or time-twist moment

🧠 Why it makes sense: Evans has hinted he's open to a return—if the story is right.

3. 💥 Hugh Jackman (Wolverine)

He’s already confirmed for Deadpool & Wolverine… but fans are hoping this is just the beginning.

📽️ Jackman could:

  • Appear as the main Wolverine in Secret Wars

  • Lead the X-Men in battle

  • Say farewell in a grand, multiversal finale

🧠 Why it makes sense: Wolverine is iconic, and Hugh Jackman is the character. Marvel knows the fans want more.

4. 🕷️ Tobey Maguire & Andrew Garfield (Spider-Men)

They returned in No Way Home and absolutely stole the show. If Secret Wars is another multiversal mash-up, these Spideys are essential.

📽️ Possibilities:

  • Lead their own teams of heroes

  • Team up with Tom Holland’s Peter once again

  • Sacrifice themselves to save the multiverse

🧠 Why it makes sense: The multiverse loves Spider-Men—and so do the fans.

5. 💀 Michael Fassbender (Magneto)

With mutants entering the MCU, Fassbender’s Magneto is a top candidate to return. His performance in the X-Men prequels was iconic, complex, and powerful.

📽️ He could:

  • Be the multiversal father of Wanda and Pietro

  • Lead the X-Men or Brotherhood from an alternate reality

  • Face off against Kang—or join him

🧠 Why it makes sense: He’s a fan favorite, and his return would link the Fox X-Men universe to the MCU.

6. 🔮 Ian McKellen & Patrick Stewart (Magneto & Professor X)

We already saw Professor X in Multiverse of Madness, but what if we get both of these legends one last time?

📽️ In Secret Wars, they could appear as:

  • Aged versions from another universe

  • Leaders of mutant resistance

  • Characters with closure arcs

🧠 Why it makes sense: These OG actors would bring multiversal weight and fan nostalgia to the event.

7. 💫 Nicolas Cage (Ghost Rider)

This would be the wildest return of all—but imagine Cage’s flaming skull Ghost Rider riding into battle in Secret Wars.

📽️ He could be:

  • A surprise multiverse cameo

  • Part of a Midnight Sons team-up

  • A wildcard who helps stop Kang

🧠 Why it makes sense: Secret Wars is the time for all the crazy cameos. Ghost Rider would melt fan brains.

8. 👊 Jessica Alba, Ioan Gruffudd & the 2000s Fantastic Four Cast

They’ve never been officially part of the MCU—but if Secret Wars is truly embracing the multiverse, why not bring them in?

📽️ Potential roles:

  • A doomed Fantastic Four from another universe

  • Cameo scene with other FF versions (including the Doctor Strange 2 Reed Richards)

  • A moment of redemption

🧠 Why it makes sense: It would be hilarious, nostalgic, and very on-brand for a multiverse collision.

9. 🧬 Edward Norton (Bruce Banner / Hulk)

Remember when Norton played Hulk in The Incredible Hulk? While Mark Ruffalo owns the role now, a Hulk vs Hulk moment would be epic.

📽️ In Secret Wars, Norton could:

  • Appear as a variant Hulk

  • Fight alongside or against Ruffalo’s Smart Hulk

  • Show a more savage Hulk persona

🧠 Why it makes sense: Marvel loves its full-circle moments. This one would definitely surprise audiences.

10. 💄 Tom Hiddleston (Loki, Again)

Even though we already have Loki Season 2, this Loki isn’t the same Loki who died in Infinity War. And let’s be real—Hiddleston's Loki has to be in Secret Wars.

📽️ He could:

  • Lead the charge against Kang (since he knows how dangerous he is)

  • Reunite with Thor in an emotional scene

  • Survive and become the new multiversal guardian

🧠 Why it makes sense: Loki is now central to the multiverse narrative—his story is far from over.

🎬 Final Thoughts

Avengers: Secret Wars isn’t just a movie—it’s a multiversal event. It’s the perfect excuse to bring back old faces, give characters closure, and blow fans’ minds with cameos and callbacks.

Whether they’re legacy heroes, surprise villains, or alternate versions of characters we thought were gone for good—anyone could return.

Why Kang’s Variants Are More Dangerous Than Thanos

  🕰️ Why Kang’s Variants Are More Dangerous Than Thanos Ever since Thanos was dusted in Avengers: Endgame , fans have wondered who could possibly top The Mad Titan as the next big threat. The answer? Kang the Conqueror —or more accurately, his infinite variants . While Thanos was a nearly unstoppable cosmic warlord, Kang brings something even scarier to the table: mastery over time, technology, and multiple versions of himself , each more unpredictable than the last. Let’s break down why Kang’s variants are way more dangerous than Thanos ever was—and how the MCU is slowly building to a multiversal war of epic proportions. 🧠 Thanos: The Singular Threat Before we get to Kang, let’s give credit where it’s due. Thanos was a one-of-a-kind, calculated villain who beat the Avengers in Infinity War and only lost in Endgame due to some serious teamwork, time travel, and Tony Stark's sacrifice. He was brutal, powerful, and believed what he was doing was right—even if it meant w...
