Marvel Executive Downplays Full MCU Reboot Speculation

Recent speculations about a full reboot of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) with Avengers: Secret Wars have been addressed by Marvel executive Brad Winderbaum, who downplayed the likelihood of such an event. Winderbaum, who oversees Marvel's streaming, television, and animation, highlighted the challenges of rebooting a 'living, breathing fictional universe' due to the extensive fan investment and continuity established since 2008. Although rumors suggested that Secret Wars could serve as a reset to integrate characters like the X-Men and Fantastic Four, Winderbaum pointed out that past attempts at reboots, such as those by DC Comics, have shown that you cannot fully start from scratch as the classics tend to resurface. Additionally, Marvel has not announced any definitive plans for a reboot, and the focus remains on evolving the universe beyond the Multiverse Saga. This stance reflects a cautious approach in balancing new narratives while respecting the legacy and continuity that fans have grown to love.
