Secret Wars is a 1984 crossover comic book series featuring almost every Marvel superhero and supervillain. The twelve-issue comic book limited series was written by Jim Shooter with art by Mike Zeck and Bob Layton.

He also said that the mission of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is to keep expanding and surprising people. “If we’re moving into this world of crossover events, certainly that affords opportunity for other large-scale stories from the books like Secret Wars — which was another favorite comic of mine as a kid. There’s big potential moving forward if the Fox/Disney deal closes,” he stated. Avengers 4 is all set to hit theatres in May 2019.
