The Marvel Universe’s Multiverse Tale Arc has encompassed grand multiversal narratives as well as more personal, earthbound ones. This narrative arc, consisting of Phases 4, 5, and 6 post the Infinity Saga, centers around the collision of multiple realities, introducing characters from different worlds, along with perilous threats that could change the course of history. The current storyline kicked off in 2021 with “WandaVision” and is set to conclude in 2027 with “Avengers: Secret Wars.” On both the big screen and Disney+, some of the more intimate projects within this narrative arc include “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” “Hawkeye,” and “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” On the other hand, the Multiverse has been a prominent focus in films like “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” and “Loki.” Over recent years, viewers have begun to identify recurring themes within various stories set in this Multiverse Tale Arc.
Based on a Reddit fan theory by u/OddlyCrazy, the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Multiverse Saga could be broken down into two distinct narrative threads. One thread encompasses lower-stakes, street-level stories, while the other focuses on all MCU projects directly connected to the Multiverse. This theory suggests that the “grounded” projects within the Multiverse Saga could form their own mini saga. Meanwhile, the main Multiverse Saga would consist of a smaller number of movies and shows more tightly linked together. By eliminating certain films and shows perceived as unnecessary, this theory leaves behind two closely intertwined storylines that can stand independently.
How the MCU’s Multiverse Saga Takes Place on Two Timelines
According to the Reddit post, this is the complete roster of ongoing and forthcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe projects that are currently “grounded,” or in production: Black Widow, Hawkeye, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Echo, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, She-Hulk: Lawyer, Eternals, Daredevil: Reborn, Captain America: A New World, and Thunderbolts.
Following a similar theme, the “Multiverse” series of Marvel projects encompasses the following titles: Loki, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Ms. Marvel, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, What If…?, The Marvels, WandaVision, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Spider-Man: No Way Home, Deadpool & Wolverine, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Avengers: Doomsday, Spider-Man 4, and Avengers: Secret Wars.
The fan theory aligns well with the observation that the stories presented in the Multiverse Saga are distinctly divided. Although every movie or series contributes to the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s (MCU) overarching story, some projects delve into the concept of countless realities, while others concentrate on introducing new characters and portraying the everyday lives of MCU heroes and their allies. It is straightforward to group together shows like Loki, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, for instance, because they all incorporate elements from realities beyond Earth-616 and hint at the impending multiversal events of Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.
From a different perspective, the standalone stories within the Multiverse Saga might not share direct connections with one another, but they all possess a shared characteristic: they are character-centric narratives that don’t heavily rely on grand team-ups or multiple dimensions. For instance, She-Hulk unfolds in a courtroom setting, Hawkeye weaves its tale through the gritty streets of New York City, and Daredevil: Born Again will soon follow suit. The beauty of these series is that they can be appreciated independently from the broader Multiverse Saga narrative, as they are designed to be accessible without prior knowledge.
The Multiverse Saga’s Projects Differ From the MCU’s Infinity Saga
In my humble opinion as a film critic, the theory under scrutiny sheds light on the decreased interconnectedness among projects in the Multiverse Saga compared to the intricately woven tapestry of the Infinity Saga. The MCU’s earlier films seamlessly introduced characters who would later become integral to the epic battle in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, while simultaneously building up the looming menace of Thanos and the formation of the Avengers team.
However, the Multiverse Saga has adopted a different narrative approach, encompassing a multitude of projects, such as television series. This broader scope has at times made the MCU’s ongoing narrative seem overly complex and remote.
If we were to imagine that the Multiverse Saga is divided into two parts as some fans propose, it would resemble the Infinity Saga in terms of interconnectedness. This division also implies a greater consistency across different projects. Watching the Multiverse Saga either in chronological or release order currently involves a lot of narrative jumping around. By creating separate timelines for each part, we could have a more coherent story overall.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe returns to cinemas with “Captain America: A New World Order,” currently screening, and the first two episodes of “Daredevil: Reborn” debut on Disney+ on March 4th.
