Mark Ruffalo Hypes Avengers: Secret Wars With Bold Endgame Comparison

Mark Ruffalo promises that they’ll find a way top Avengers: Endgame in Avengers: Secret Wars. After the culmination of the Infinity Saga, Marvel Studios is moving forward with the Multiverse Saga. Consisting of Phases 4, 5, and 6 as laid out in San Diego Comic-Con, MCU’s newest overarching narrative will culminate in 2025 with the release of Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars back-to-back.

Despite having quicker-paced storytelling in Multiverse Saga, it is still drawing comparisons with the Infinity Saga. Phase 4 is set to wrap up with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and soon after Phase 5 will begin. Thanks to Feige’s Hall H announcements, fans have an idea where MCU’s current narrative is going. But it also opens it up to criticism, especially since Infinity Saga impressively stuck the landing with Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. Given this, as early as now, some are already curious what Marvel Studios’ plans are for its next Saga-cappers.

Despite the pressure, Ruffalo is optimistic that they can top what they did in Avengers: Endgame with Avengers: Secret Wars. Speaking with ET during She-Hulk: Attorney At Law’s premiere in Los Angeles and was asked about the matter. The actor admits that it would be a tall order, but he’s confident that they can find a way to do it. Read his full quote below:

“Well, it’s gonna be hard to top Endgame, but if I know Kevin and if I know Marvel, it’s gonna be pretty amazing. It’ll be a big bang, we’ll go out with a big bang.”

Feige previously addressed the pressure to do the next two Avengers films considering what both Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame were able to do. According to the MCU architect, the goal isn’t just to do something bigger in Avengers: Secret Wars. However, given the nature of the narrative and the ever-expanding scope of the franchise with multiple branches of reality now factoring into MCU’s storytelling, it can’t be helped but for the film to be larger in scope. It’s safe to say that as early as now, the producer and his team are already well-aware of how the rest of the Multiverse Saga will pan out. But it’s dubious if Ruffalo is privy to that information considering his tendency to unknowingly spoil projects.

More than the scale, Marvel Studios should be focused on making sure that Avengers: Secret Wars will resonate with the audience as much as Avengers: Endgame did. Amidst its time travel adventures, not to mention the massive action set pieces, the 2019 Joe and Anthony Russo film’s biggest achievement was making sure it served the film’s characters, particularly the original Avengers. Despite having very different fates, Iron Man and Captain America’s respective send-offs were both well-done. Hopefully, Marvel Studios are able to do something different but equally satisfying with the Multiverse Saga-capper.
