Avengers: Secret Wars is set to be the next big Avengers movie after Avengers: Kang Dynasty and has been one of the most anticipated movies since it was announced at SDCC 2022. The movie won’t be seen until 2025, however, it looks like it’s found itself a writer.
Michael Waldron is set to write the screenplay for Avengers: Secret Wars which is not what some fans expected and no longer look forward to. The writer also penned the screenplay for Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness. The movie had received a string of mixed reviews for its writing and because of that, fans aren’t exactly excited about the announcement. On the other hand, many have volunteered to support him as well due to his work in Loki.

Michael Waldron worked on Doctor Strange 2, Loki and now Secret Wars
Michael Waldron’s work with Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness was considered dull and would have taken the focus away from the main character himself. At the same time, his work with Loki had drawn attention to the incredible storyline, as the series had been Marvel’s record-breaking series.
The short story of Waldron being the author of Avengers: Secret Wars creates a lot of controversy because on the one hand, the fans who see his writing in Doctor Strange 2 find the idea not so good; while fans who see it from the perspective of Loki are excited to see the new project come to life.
Doctor Strange 2 writing was considered sloppy and bland while Loki had outdone itself and become many people’s favorite series in an instant. This contrast can change direction as one gets closer Avengers: Secret Wars’ liberation would approach.

While on the one hand, Marvel fans couldn’t be happier to see Michael Waldron take on Secret Wars under his wing, they also become skeptical of the seriousness of the scenario. The film is a large-scale project, being only the second avengers film since the end of phase 3 of the MCU.

Many fans seem to find this news a massive loss for Marvel due to the importance and anticipation of the film, much like the strange doctor after. Supporters have also stood up since the announcement and defended the writer with their love and admiration.
Are people really mad about this? I thought MoM and Loki were two of the best phase 4 projects 🤷🏻♂️

Frankly it’s great. Having the person who wrote 2 major multiverse movies in the MCU write the multiverse saga finale is a smart move

This battle between the two opinions will not end until the film is released in 2025. Whether the film is a resounding success or ends up being widely criticized will also depend a lot on the personal opinions of fans and film critics.
