Could Avengers: Secret Wars bring The Avengers back together without compromising MCU deaths?

Though it will be some time before Avengers: Secret Wars story elements are revealed, the MCU has means to bring back the Avengers actors whose characters died in Avengers: Endgame. Steve Rogers very certainly died from old age by the time Avengers: Secret Wars takes place, even if he did not die on film. This is where the multiverse finds application.

Seeing Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Scarlett Johansson return as Iron Man, Captain America, and Black Widow variants instead of having their original forms resurfaced from a compelling narrative standpoint would be amazing. Avengers: Secret Wars might look at worlds where Tony, Steve, and Natasha perhaps lost their respective Thor, Hulk, or Hawkeye, offering an emotional counterpart to Earth-616. If the six players met together to see the individuals they lost, respectively, Avengers: Secret Wars may actually move viewers to tears.

Jeremy Renner Talks About Reunion Stories for Original Avengers as Secret Wars Approach

Following past rumors, Hawkeye actor Jeremy Renner talks on whether or not he thinks an original Avengers reunion would happen in the MCU. Many still want the day they get to meet the six original Avengers who brought the team to life back in Phase 1 even while the MCU is advancing new heroes and villains. With so many cameos in The Multiverse Saga, it remains unknown whether some of the seasoned MCU stars will show up in Phases 5 and 6.

Renner was asked whether Mayor of Kingstown, on the Happy, Sad, Confused podcast, would see Hawkeye reunited with the original Avengers members as they prepare Avengers: Secret Wars. Renner offered the following observations, but updates on Avengers: Secret Wars have thus far been few.

A Look Ahead at Avengers: Secret Wars

If Kevin Feige didn't bring the whole squad back for Avengers: Secret Wars as the Multiverse Saga ends, that would be absolutely shocking. Given Avengers: Secret Wars is apparently acting as a light MCU relaunch, this would probably be the last time the six cast members could share the screen. Marvel Studios intends to start working on Avengers: Secret Wars later this year and choose a director among other things.

Phase six of Marvel's Cinematic Universe sets Avengers: Secret Wars, the sixth Avengers film. Inspired by the Marvel Comics event of the same name, the movie will feature the comeback of various heroes from past phases to fight a cosmic danger on par with Thanos.

A View Back: The Avengers

Jeremy Renner is: What is the idea of gathering The Avengers? Why and for what purpose? What what is the aim here? I have no idea. [asked whether he had ever searched Google for Avengers: Secret Wars] Man, I may be down for it. I would really love it. It would be great. I really want to visit everyone once more.

Maybe if enough time runs by, right? At this point, I believe it also relates to the reason the story [and] narrative serves. These are really beloved characters. We did, basically, collaborate on 23 movies together. The narrative is exactly what? Tell us the tale. After that, do you have more to do? How ever would you solve this?

Perhaps, given enough time, right? I think it has at this point, but also why is the story being told? These are really popular characters. We did, basically, collaborate on 23 movies together. What is the story exactly? What narrative is this? After that, do you have more to do? How then would you ever resolve this?

When will it ever feel like, "everyone gets their little bow, nobody died, it feels great!"? Here what transpires? I am feeling something about it. Everyone does, in my opinion. I suppose the dead guys have sentiments about it.
