Announcement about Avengers: Secret Wars This caused a stir for several reasons. Firstly, because this is an “event movie” in which several heroes and villains will converge. Secondly, because of how it was presented: with a release date and as a closure multiverse saga. Third, and perhaps more important to many followers, because of the special relationship between this set of stories and spiderman and by the way, his mythical black suit.
Comic series Secret Wars It is divided into two eras. One in which twelve issues were published in 1984 and 1985, and another published in 2015. Although the first was not well received by critics, it was accepted by readers who finally had a publication that fulfilled one of his wishes: to intertwine different heroes of the same comic story. It marked before and after in the comics.
It was no longer just about creating groups of heroes, such as Avengersbut to make these dialogues with other stories, heroes and villains, in what is also known as crossover. This logic began with the first saga of Secret Wars. The second, published in 2015, received the best review and is currently expected to be the most influential Avengers: Secret Wars. But what creates expectations for Spider-Man? For the appearance of the black suit for the first time.
Secret Wars and a black Spider-Man suit:
character change
Volume 8 of Secret Warspublished in 1984, the cover features Spider-Man in a black suit. The drawing in the post is marked with a series of black lines on a red background, indicating the activation of his spider-sense. The character seems to see his own costume, one that replaces the remnants of the previous one, the classic red and blue, torn apart by the collisions in which he is immersed with other heroes.
This is the first image of Spider-Man in a black suit. After a series of fights, Peter Parker notices how Thor maintains his suit in good condition. The Hulk tells him about a certain machine that restores them. While searching for the link that Bruce Banner gave him, Spider-Man finds a black orb that jumps towards his hand and gradually takes over his entire body. The character described the experience:
“Well, I’m going to partner with the G8! This balloon expanded into a suit, dissolving shreds of my old suit in the process! It’s not bad; another. But not bad!”
Then, Spider-Man didn’t know it was a symbiote. and that it could ruin much of his lifestyle, besides granting him various powers compared to his previous costume and personality. Peter Parker discovers it in The amazing Spider Man #258. On a cinematic scale, this version of the character was recreated in Spiderman 3producer Sam Raimi. The premiere took place in 2007. Another variation on this outfit, or some sort of modern reference, might be the one seen in Spiderman: No way home, when he uses one that allows him to channel electrical energy.
adaptation Avengers: Secret Wars
As for the closure of the 6th phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there are still no details. The clearest is that he links the adaptation of the film to the publication Secret Wars published in 2015, created Jonathan Hickmann with drawings Esad Ribic. This part of the narrative takes place at a time when the multiverse has collapsed, as the story offered in theaters and television seems to indicate.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe does not accurately recreate the events of the comics. Drawing inspiration from them, you allow yourself some liberties. That’s part of the charm of cinema. So it is possible that Avengers: Secret Wars take different references from volumes prior to those published in 2015. In them, why not pay homage to that first black-suited Spider-Man moment?
Avengers: Secret Wars The premiere will take place on November 7, 2025.after Avengers: Kang Dynasty. It is still necessary to see the end of Phase 4 and the development of 5 and 6 to have any surprises. However, the appearance of a black-suited Spider-Man visibly feels like one of the possibilities the film has to offer, maintaining a constant dialogue between the graphics and the film adaptation (in addition to being seen as a tribute to the Spider-Man followers) .
