‘Marvel’s’ post-credits scene spins the MCU in a whole new direction. Let’s start fracking now.

wait. what

Yes, we know.

I am sorry. That’s a lot to unpack.

It’s actually quite simple.

OK then. First things first: What is intrusion?

The first mention of Infiltration in the MCU came in 2022 amid an exposition dump of John Krasinski’s Reid Richards. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. A collision event occurs “when the boundary between two universes collapses, they collide… completely destroying one or both.” Appears in the post-credits of Clea (played by Charlize Theron). The Multiverse Telling Strange that his actions during the film have caused an infiltration and that the two of them are going to fix it.

Kong the Conqueror (Jonathan Majors) also mentions the infiltration in passing. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantummania To drive the point home perfectly, Beast tells Maria that the scans show she’s not from their reality, saying, “You’re parallel to your reality now.” The Marvels It may be the first time audiences see Infiltration, but it won’t be the last.

Why won’t it be the last?

Let’s touch on that in a second. Ask me something else.

OK then. What about Frazier’s return?

The appearance of Grammar Beast in The Marvels‘ The post-credits scene is straight up teeing off next spring Deadpool 3which is looking more and more like a movie in which (rumored) Ryan Reynolds’ Merc with a Mouth will end the entire Fox Universe of Marvel characters by 2027. Avengers: Secret Warsan even bigger sequel to 2026 Avengers: Kong Dynasty. Best mentioned that “Charles” wants an update, so there’s also a chance that audiences will see Patrick Stewart’s Professor X again after his cameo. The Multiverse of Madness.

Why won’t this be the last attack? Is it leading to anything?

It really is: previously announced. Secret Wars.

It seems more and more likely that the next phase of the MCU will take its cues from the 2015 comic book crossover event. Secret Wars And the story lines that lead up to it. In these comics—written by Jonathan Hickman, with art by Assad Ryback—a secret team of Marvel heroes, including Beast, Black Bolt, Doctor Strange, Iron Man, Mister Fantastic, and Namor, discover that the central Marvel is being infiltrated. The comic book universe, called the 616 universe. The infiltration escalates until two major Marvel Comics universes, the 616 and the Ultimate Universe—a modern-day retelling of Marvel lore, where Miles Morales first appeared—collide, creating a new, patchy Work creates reality.

Since the MCU doesn’t have an Ultimate Universe to draw on, perhaps the core Marvel Universe colliding with the Fox universe of characters will be the basis for its cinematic version. Secret Wars – Or maybe it will be something else that happens in it. The Kong Dynasty Since it appears, for now, to lead in it Secret Wars.

Either way, after a few years without a clear storyline, the MCU is finally kicking the multiverse saga into high gear. Expect things to get more and more multi-faceted as we get closer to its release. Secret Wars.
