Marvel Abandons ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’ Release, Report Says

The much-anticipated Marvel Cinematic Universe release of “Avengers: Secret Wars” has reportedly been abandoned, according to a new report.

The news was recently disclosed by industry sources who spoke to The Washington Post on the condition of anonymity, citing the confidential nature of the project.

The announcement marks the latest setback for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which has seen several of its planned releases delayed or canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The sources did not go into further detail about the reasons for the abandonment of the film, although it is speculated that the studio’s decision may have been based on the increasingly difficult production environment caused by the virus.

The report follows a string of other big-budget Marvel releases that have been postponed or canceled, including “Black Widow,” “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” and “Eternals”.

In the wake of the news, fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have been expressing their disappointment on social media.

The film was initially slated to begin production this summer, but the studio appears to have shelved the project for the time being.

It is unclear if the film will eventually be produced, but for now, it appears that “Avengers: Secret Wars” has been shelved indefinitely.
