The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a constantly evolving juggernaut, with new films continually expanding its narrative reach and box office dominance.  As fans eagerly anticipate Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars, speculation abounds regarding the franchise's future trajectory beyond these highly anticipated releases.

One intriguing possibility lies in the realm of video games.  According to Variety, directors Joe and Anthony Russo have expressed openness to adapting Doomsday and Secret Wars for consoles and PC.  This news comes as the brothers are currently developing a mobile game tie-in for their upcoming film, The Electric State.

While the idea of Spider-Man taking on a more prominent role, perhaps even filling the void left by Iron Man, is a popular fan theory, exploring this dynamic within a video game format presents unique narrative opportunities.

The Russo brothers' interest in gaming adaptations marks a potential return to the interactive medium for the Avengers. The team has a history in video games, most recently with 2020's Marvel's Avengers.  However, that title faced challenges, ultimately leading to the removal of several live-service features and financial losses for publisher Square Enix.

Bringing Doomsday and Secret Wars to gaming wouldn't be the MCU's first foray into interactive adaptations.  Earlier MCU films like Iron Man and Captain America: Super Soldier received video game tie-ins, though these were generally considered non-canon and often deviated significantly from the source material.  Whether potential Doomsday and Secret Wars adaptations would follow this precedent or strive for greater narrative fidelity remains to be seen.

For now, Marvel fans can look forward to upcoming titles like the highly anticipated Spider-Man 2, offering a compelling interactive experience within the Marvel universe while they await further news on the potential gaming future of Doomsday and Secret Wars.

The potential for Avengers: Doomsday (2026) to expand into the gaming sphere is exciting, especially considering the Russo brothers' openness to the idea. It adds another layer of anticipation for fans eager to delve deeper into the MCU.
