The narrative arc of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Multiverse Saga is progressing towards “Avengers: Endgame Part 2” and “Secret Wars,” leaving fans thrilled for upcoming events. Despite the addition of fresh characters, enemies, and interstellar madness, there are lingering queries from previous films and series that remain unanswered.
As a die-hard cinema enthusiast, I can’t help but be intrigued by the lingering enigmas in our favorite Marvel productions. The disappearance of Kang and Rocket’s unexpected possession of Bucky’s arm are questions that spark intense discussions among fans. They may not be life-altering mysteries, but they’re the kind of details that keep us wide-awake at night, eagerly awaiting answers that could make the final scenes even more tantalizing.
As “Secret Wars” prepares to unite characters such as Kamala Khan, Shang-Chi, and possibly a few classic ones, wrapping up these five captivating plot threads might add an extra layer of gratification to the tale.
What Happened to the Council of Kangs?
In the mid-credits sequence of Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, we were introduced to the Council of Kangs – a formidable multiverse army headed by Jonathan Majors. This introduction sets up the upcoming Avengers film titled The Kang Dynasty.
Following Majors’ legal complications, Marvel moved on to “Avengers: Doomsday” featuring Doctor Doom, and since then, the Council of Kangs has not been brought up again. Neither the stories of Deadpool & Wolverine nor Thunderbolts have touched upon this topic either.
Fans Are Eager for Explanations Before the Arrival of Secret Wars: The Council of Kangs, teased in the 2023 film Quantumania, was depicted as a Multiversal military force. Characters such as Rama-Tut and Immortus suggested a unified danger to all realities, leaving fans eager for clarification about this potential threat.
In Season 2 of Loki (released in 2023), we witnessed the Multiverse beginning to fall apart following He Who Remains’ demise, paving the way for the Kangs to cause chaos. With Doomsday set to debut Doom as the primary antagonist in the upcoming installment, viewers are eagerly anticipating a straightforward answer as to why the Kangs have vanished from the storyline.
Was it Doom who tampered with their time-line technology, or were they ensnared by the TVA? Failing to establish this connection might make “Secret Wars” seem unrelated to the setup in “Quantumania”.
What’s the Connection Between the Ten Rings and Kamala Khan’s Bangle?
In “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” and “Ms. Marvel”, two intriguing objects were presented: the Ten Rings and Kamala Khan’s bracelet, both emitting a glow and having enigmatic pasts.
The mysterious origins of the Ten Rings and Kamala Khan’s glowing bangle were revealed in the films “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” and “Ms. Marvel”.
Both versions convey the same meaning but use different words to express it.
In the 2022 series “Ms. Marvel,” Kamala Khan’s bangle is connected to a Kree tomb on the moon. During an interview, actress Iman Vellani hinted that the bangles could be tied to the cosmic being known as Eon.
There seems to be a striking resemblance in the energetic auras between the Ten Rings and the bracelets, hinting at a common cosmic or mystical origin.
As a devoted fan, I can’t help but ponder: Why shouldn’t we know the truth before the Secret Wars? The enigmatic Ten Rings and Kamala’s bangle showcase energy manipulation capabilities that transcend Earth-616 technology, as demonstrated by their portal creation and power amplification in The Marvels (2023). This hints at origins far beyond our familiar tech realm, leaving us eagerly anticipating the revelation of their true origins.
With Avengers: Doomsday centering on Doctor Doom, the artifacts’ origins could be pivotal.
In theory, they might originate from an advanced universe where Doctor Doom’s technology reached its pinnacle. Clarifying the mysterious background of Doctor Doom prior to the “Secret Wars” would significantly increase the perceived danger he poses.
Are Celestials and Gods Connected—and How?
In the Marvel universe, the Eternals portray celestial beings such as Arishem as cosmic architects responsible for creating planets. On the other hand, Thor: Love and Thunder introduces deities like Zeus and Bast within Omnipotence City. However, Marvel has yet to provide a clear explanation of their interrelationship.
In simpler terms, is Thor’s deity status a result of being created by higher beings called Celestials? Are they all tapping into the same source of cosmic energy, or do they represent competing powers within the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s divine hierarchy?
The lore is frustratingly vague, leaving fans to speculate.
Titles like Secret Wars have fans eagerly awaiting answers, as the movies Eternals and Love and Thunder hint at conflicting roles for Celestials and gods. The former suggests that Celestials guide planetary life, while the latter implies gods act independently, both possessing cosmic power.
The understanding regarding this matter seems a bit unclear. It appears that the “Secret Wars” may include colossal clashes spanning multiple dimensions or realities.
Understanding if deities such as Thor might oppose or side with beings like Arishem could enrich alliance dynamics, thereby making the final confrontation more profound and grandiose.
Did Thanos’ Snap Unknowingly Delay Multiple Celestial Emergences?
It was uncovered by the Eternals that Tiamut’s emergence necessitated a critical number of inhabitants on a planet, a threshold possibly disturbed by Thanos’ decimation in “Avengers: Infinity War,” an event that reduced the population of every world by half.
Might the Snap have stopped the occurrences of new appearances (Emergences) throughout the universe, thereby significantly changing Thanos’ influence? This concept is yet to be investigated.
Fans are eagerly seeking clarification prior to the unfolding of Secret Wars, as they are engrossed in understanding how Thanos’ Snap could impact the Marvel Cinematic Universe on a grand, cosmic scale.
If it causes postponements in Emergences, it might introduce an intriguing dimension to the interdimensional struggle of Secret Wars, potentially linking the Celestials to the ongoing conflict.
How Did Rocket Get Bucky’s Arm, and How Did Bucky Get It Back?
In the 2022 film titled “Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special,” Nebula, played by Karen Gillan, presented Rocket, portrayed by Bradley Cooper, with Bucky Barnes’ vibranium arm, a treasure that had long captivated Rocket’s interest following the events of “Infinity War.
In The Guardians of the Galaxy special, there was a hint that Nebula may have acquired something on Earth, though specifics were left unclear. Yet, in Thunderbolts, it’s puzzling because Bucky regains his arm, leading many to ponder about the circumstances behind this change.
*Note: “Thunderbolts” is not an actual comic book title, but a placeholder for the relevant source material mentioned in the original text.
Before Unveiling the Secrets of “Secret Wars”: Fans Can’t Wait to Find Out How Nebula Got Her Arm!
This intriguing enigma has left fans in fits of laughter and speculation, eagerly awaiting the revelation behind how Nebula ended up with her arm.
As a fan, I can’t help but yearn for a brief prelude to the epic saga of “Secret Wars,” perhaps a mischievous glance back at Nebula’s daring heist, that would undoubtedly bring immense joy to fellow enthusiasts. However, it seems highly improbable for Marvel to delve into this aspect given their current narrative trajectory.
