Loved characters have returned to the big screen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) thanks to the Multiverse Saga, a pivotal chapter that has opened up a world of limitless possibilities. Spider-Man: No Way Home and Deadpool & Wolverine are two recent Movies that have quietly dropped fascinating plots that might eventually develop into stand-alone spin-offs.
Deadpool & Wolverine included cameos from previous Marvel Movies in addition to the return of Hugh Jackman's legendary character Wolverine, bringing the three live-action Spider-Men back together in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Fans are anxious to delve further into these intriguing strands since these movies have not only extended the Multiverse Saga but also made subtle references to previously unrevealed characters and stories.
In Spider-Man: No Way Home, Tom Holland's Peter Parker and Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man had a heartfelt exchange during which Andrew Garfield revealed that he had given up on holding back his punches following the untimely death of Gwen Stacy. This look into Garfield's dark phase as Spider-Man following The Amazing Spider-Man 2 suggested a possible narrative arc that would explore his journey of loss and rage.
As the third part of the unfinished The Amazing Spider-Man trilogy, a hypothetical spin-off might tell the story of what happened between The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man: No Way Home. This movie might reveal Spider-Man's darker side and examine the ferocity of his battles with evildoers, enhancing his status as a fearsome hero.
A new version of Wolverine—different from the beloved and well-known one—was unveiled in Deadpool & Wolverine. This Wolverine started a road of vengeance and started killing people without distinction since he felt responsible for not shielding the X-Men from a human onslaught. There is a lot of potential for an exciting spin-off from this traumatic time in his life.
A specialized MCU spin-off might examine the trauma that drove Wolverine to such drastic steps and dive into this dark period of his life. It might offer an engrossing look at Wolverine's inner conflicts and the fallout from his deeds, ultimately providing a nuanced examination of a cherished character.
Although the box office performance of Deadpool & Wolverine and Spider-Man: No Way Home indicates that fans would likely want spin-offs starring Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man, these projects may not happen due to the MCU's extensive schedule.
While many other projects, such as Blade, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Spider-Man 4, Wonder Man, and Nova, are in development, Marvel Studios is presently concentrating on ambitious, multiversal events like Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. The availability of space for stand-alone spin-offs in the foreseeable future is doubtful.
It's unlikely that Garfield's Spider-Man would face the same antagonists as his Earth-616 counterparts if he were to feature in his own movie. Even though he may have faced off against antagonists like Venom, Doctor Octopus, Green Goblin, and Sandman, he would be familiar with them from his travels in No Way Home. Rather, he might take on less well-known opponents like Tarantula, Scorpion, Vermin, and Shocker; he might even bring in new adversaries for the MCU.
Wolverine may have targeted long-standing opponents of mutants as a result of his violent outburst after the X-Men assault. This includes people like Bolivar Trask, the founder of Sentinels, Hellfire Club member Donald Pierce, politicians Henry Gyrich and Cameron Hodge, and the AI villains Bastion and Nimrod. Collateral damage from these conflicts may also effect other heroes such as the Avengers, the Defenders, Alpha Flight, the Fantastic Four, the Starjammers, or even the Illuminati.
Although it's unclear if Garfield's Spider-Man and Jackman's Wolverine will get spin-offs, their inclusion in the multiverse saga has piqued fans' intense interest. Even though their future is still uncertain, fans are eagerly awaiting these spin-offs because of their distinctive plots and potential for interesting character development. Time will tell if Marvel Studios decides to investigate these fascinating stories and add new parts to the MCU's ever growing story.
