Will Marvel Studios Announce AVENGERS VS. X-MEN At Next Weekend's San Diego Comic-Con?

With Marvel Studios' San Diego Comic-Con panel just over a week away from taking over Hall H, a new rumour suggests Kevin Feige could announce Avengers 5 as Avengers vs. X-Men! Read on for details...

When Marvel Studios announced the next Avengers movies at the San Diego Comic-Con in 2022, the plan was for them to both be released in the same year, with the first instalment titled The Kang Dynasty and the Multiverse Saga's finale dubbed Secret Wars

A lot has changed since then, including a major mishandling of Kang in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania and Jonathan Majors' legal issues which resulted in him being fired from the role.

As a result, Avengers: The Kang Dynasty has lost its title and original writer Jeff Loveness and, while Michael Waldron was then thought to be penning both movies, we've since learned he may no longer be involved either. 

Now, as rumours swirl about the Russo Brothers returning to Marvel Studios to helm both instalments, The Cosmic Circus' Alex Perez has dropped some pretty strong hints on social media that Avengers vs. X-Men will be announced next Saturday at the San Diego Comic-Con.

We've heard that the idea is to pivot away from Kang with Avengers 5, so why not take this opportunity to pit Earth-616's Mightiest Heroes against the Fox-verse's X-Men for a must-see battle as their worlds collide during an incursion?

The Russos are keen to adapt Secret Wars, so we'd imagine that will stay the same and likely borrow elements from both the original comic and the 2015 version. 

"You know, we haven’t had conversations with those guys about anything that they are up to because we’ve been intensely busy with our own schedule," Joe said in a 2022 interview. "We just always answer truthfully when we’re asked, 'Would you work with them?' Of course we would. We adore them."

"'What would you like to do?' Secret Wars was our favorite series growing up, you know? And then I think it always gets turned into a bigger story. But to be clear, there is no story," the filmmaker concluded.

Something has changed since then and, as we reported earlier today, Marvel Studios may have struggled to find directors willing to take on a high-pressure project like an Avengers movie given the recent struggles faced by the genre. As for the Russos, they're in desperate need of a hit after Cherry, Citadel, and The Gray Man struggled to live up to expectations. 

Are you hoping Avengers vs. X-Men is announced at the San Diego Comic-Con next week? Let us know in the comments section below.

@Lisa89 - I used to like all the reveals and things to look forward to, now it seems derivative. Don't tell me you're planning something, stop worrying about 6 years from now. Worry about what's coming out this year and so on

@bobevanz - same here. the problem with the landacape now is that there is no good buildup unlike in the past.

So no matter how good of a story arc it is by paper, like avengers vs xmen, it feels empty as we havent seen any buildup or any allusions leading to it when phase 4 started.

I could see that being part of A5 but not the whole movie. What would make it interesting is Wolverine would potentially be trapped in 616 whilst Photon is trapped in the Foxverse so each side has like a mediator on the other. Problem is if it's an incursion then we know who's gonna win. Would the movie expect us to root against the X Men we've all grown up with? Could be a dicey situation depending on how it's handled.

@IronDean2099 - would be interesting if an incursion takes place and the X-Men show up in 616. When they show up the remaining eternals see them as deviants then we get judgement day which is kind of avx but with the eternals in the mix too. It would make more sense since an incursion has a massive impact that would cause the involvement of celestials. IDK though.

Even if something like this happens, it will in no way represent the comic story, other than the teams fighting. Hoping they don’t use up that name on something that won’t represent the story at all.

@mountainman - The comic storyline sucked so hopefully they don’t, just like they didn’t with Age of Ultron. Not all comics are good. 😂

@FireandBlood - Elements of it did suck, like the Phoenix Five, but all that build up to it with the mutant decimation, Hope, the Messiah storylines, etc was great. And the Avengers and X-Men battling over Hope is more compelling than just because.

If we do get it now, it will just be a misunderstanding because they don’t know each other.

@mountainman - I don't mind the Phoenix Five, but the rest was definitely the best parts about that story. And it won't happen in this movie.

It'll probably be in name only, so maybe they'll just called it Secret Wars. That was also just factions fighting against each other.

I LOVED the books. That story dropped sometime between 2013-2015, right? I'd hope they stick with the actual story, but I can see lots of changes being made. Either way, count me IN.

This is so weird. WB rushed the Justice League and it led to the universe getting an unceremonious reboot. Why make Avengers vs X-men without establishing the X-men first.

SATW42 - 7/18/2024, 4:37 PM
@Ojeet78 - there's been decades of buildup if it's the Foxverse vs the MCU, which it seems that deadpool and a large chunk of characters will end up coming into 616 in the events of deadpool, and then the events of that movie lead us into secret wars, which we all know is going to lead to a reboot of sorts.

@Ojeet78 -


There's gonna be an incursion. So they're gonna fight for existence. Avengers vs X-Men makes perfect sense

I’m down. Would much rather this than Kang Dynasty featuring the lame current MCU Avengers I don’t care about at all.
RegularPoochie
RegularPoochie - 7/18/2024, 3:18 PM
@Jackraow21 - yeas, but it needs long buildup, but they could announce that it is down the line and the clonflict will grow in every movie, so we could see some of the Avengers and some of the X-men im different movies.
Jackraow21
Jackraow21 - 7/18/2024, 3:30 PM
@RegularPoochie - Depends on how they do it. If it’s multiversal variant X-men then it doesn’t need much buildup. And then that could lead into Secret Wars and the whole reality reset, so folks clamoring for new actors in the roles can get get their wish. Personally I like the FOX-men casting. To me that was never the problem. So seeing them get to interact with the MCU Avengers characters would be greet fun.
RegularPoochie
RegularPoochie - 7/18/2024, 3:35 PM
@Jackraow21 - also true, but I just would like to see a longer buildup.

BruceWayng - 7/18/2024, 2:47 PM
I feel like Marvel has backed themselves into a corner worse than the Demonrats have with Biden. Idk if I’m the only one who feels this wa but I have zero interest in seeing the 616 avengers interacting with X-men from another universe.

This whole multiverse saga is creating more problems than it’s solving. Idk why marvel couldn’t just introduce the F4 and mutants after the Infinity saga. That whole 5 yea jump has been a complete waste.
Solarkalel85
Solarkalel85 - 7/18/2024, 2:51 PM
@BruceWayng - there should be a reset after secret wars and introduce the xmen, new cap, iron man etc and move on from the multiverse bollocks

@RitoRevolto - i would think the same but...
How you top the climax of Endgame? With a crossover that involves fox and Sony characters.

And as much as it pains me, if they wait too long most of them will be too old to play the roles.
It's a "now or never situation"
RitoRevolto
RitoRevolto - 7/19/2024, 8:27 AM
@BabyLasagna - If their primary goal is to only top Endgame numbers then I can't respect that. The main should be story and narrative, and that shouldn't be hard to beat Endgame at since it was pretty lazy fan service anyway.

As for AvX, I don't know that we need to see FoX-Men vs MCU Avengers. They could save that for after they've cast the MCU X-Men and build up to it instead of burning it on one movie.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 7/18/2024, 2:49 PM
No please…

If you are going to do AvX , have it be with proper buildup and between the MCU version of the X-Men and Avengers rather then the Fox-verse ones.

At most , I can see them fighting over a misunderstanding if one group thinks the other is causing the incursion but eventually coming together to fight the real threat.

Where is the set up?

This seems like Batman v Superman when they introduced Batman, Wonder Woman and Doomsday after Man of Steel

Don't do it Marvel this will be a huge disaster
Shivermetimbers
Shivermetimbers - 7/18/2024, 4:00 PM
@WakandaTech - Exactly, we need far more time to get introduced to and invested in the characters. They should build relationships between the two sides so there are real emotional stakes when some have to reluctantly face one another like there was in civil war. There is so much lore to explore with the xmen that should be introduced before they even consider an AvX crossover.

TheVisionary25 - 7/18/2024, 2:58 PM
Also , I don’t understand how Kang was mishandled in Quantumania…

People keep saying he was defeated by Ants and that isn’t really true since he came back from that to beat Scott within an inch of his life and if it wasn’t for Hope coming back , he would be dead .

Plus they were super intelligent giant ants!!.

They barely beat him and plus with variants being out there , it doesn’t even necessarily have to be that Kang and couid be a more dangerous version.

Just recast and continue on with the story , it’s simple man!!.
