On paper, it doesn’t seem impossible that Hugh Jackman, Tobey Maguire, and Andrew Garfield could appear in “Avengers: Secret Wars.” As mentioned previously, Jackman is already playing Wolverine again in “Deadpool 3,” and both Maguire and Garfield donned their Spider-Man suits once again in “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” There’s a good chance that Marvel Studios has them all on the hook for more MCU appearances, but if there’s one thing recent MCU projects have taught us, it’s that putting too much stock into the rumor mill can have disastrous consequences.
One of the most pertinent recent examples comes in the form of “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.” Given its multiversal nature, many fans went into the film with incredibly high expectations. From Tom Cruise as a variant of Iron Man to Chris Evans as an evil HYDRA version of Captain America, online rumors set the bar immensely high in terms of cameos. While the film does deliver several surprising guest stars, it’s nothing near the cameo extravaganza so many on social media were led to believe they were in for, resulting in widespread disappointment upon its premiere.
“Avengers: Secret Wars” arrives on May 7, 2027, so we have some serious waiting to do before we find out if these rumors are legit or just more attempts to build impossibly high expectations for a high-profile MCU effort.
