That said, to some extent, Avengers: Secret War may have a "reboot" of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), especially as we gradually step out of the "multiverse" phase, the storylines of some characters may be adjusted or even terminated.

Feiqi also mentioned that the overall planning of the MCU has been scheduled for about seven years, but he himself hopes to continue to do it and never retire "forever". However, there are challenges to continue this huge universe. One of them is that some core characters will still need to "sacrifice" or leave due to plot needs in the future - but this operation obviously cannot last forever.

In this regard, Feiqi gave his opinion: these characters should be taken over by a new generation of actors over time, just like other classic screen images:

"Amy Pascal and David Heyman are now looking for a new generation of James Bond," Fitch said, "and David Colenswaite's new Superman -- he's awesome. That's going to be there forever."

He added: "When an actor makes a character so successful, it's really hard to substitute people. For example, how could you replace James Bond, played by Sean Connery, right?"

This logic itself is fine, but... in the past two decades, MCU has almost never really practiced this method, so it may be difficult for fans to accept it for a while. Take DC as an example, they rebooted Superman with a new actor, which actually opened a new universe that was almost unrelated to the Henry Cavill version. Marvel does not want to completely separate MCU 1 and MCU 2, so this "swap in the world" approach will seem particularly subtle.

Having said that, it is obviously unrealistic to lose core characters such as Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, and Black Panther forever, and not return for another ten years or even longer. From this perspective, recasting is indeed reasonable, but execution is much more complicated than Batman, Superman or 007 — something Fitch doesn't seem to fully realize.

In addition, Feiqi also emphasized that the new era after "Secret War" will focus on the X-Men. This once again confirms a long-term rumor: the Fox version of the X-Men will not be directly incorporated into the MCU. However, the reality has become complicated - because most Fox X-Men characters have appeared in "Doomsday" and "Secret War", and we just saw Hugh Jackman in "Deadpool and Wolverine". Feichi said they are still exploring how to use these characters further, which means... two Wolverines will appear? What's more, this role is still being played by the original actor himself, so it's almost unimaginable to replace him.

This time, Marvel plans to start with young mutants instead of using the cast in the Fox version that is now over fifty years old or even close to its seventies. This sounds reasonable, after all, Fox has also filmed the "Lesson 1" series before to restart the youth. But anyway, the MCU will sooner or later launch its own X-Men lineup. It just feels subtle that this happened immediately after a tour that bid farewell to the Fox X-Senior for 25 years.

This is an unprecedented turning point, but it is the future that the MCU must face. Then the question is: Who will wear Stark and Rogers' suits? When will it be?
