Secret Wars Release Date, Cast, Writer, And More Details

In October 2022, it was reported that Michael Waldron would be penning the script for «Secret Wars.» The film and television writer has become a mainstay of the MCU in its post-Infinity Saga era, creating and executive producing the Disney+ series «Loki» before going on to write «Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.»

Before joining the MCU, Waldron got his start as a writers’ production assistant and production staff on the cult NBC sitcom «Community» (from which the Russo brothers were also plucked to direct «Captain America: The Winter Soldier»). After serving as an executive producer on the short-lived YouTube Red series «Good Game,» he wrote the «Rick and Morty» Season 4 episode «The Old Man and the Seat.» Waldron also created and executive produced the drama «Heels,» which starred a post-«Arrow» Stephen Amell and premiered on Starz in 2021. It was canceled in 2023 after just two seasons.

Meanwhile, whether or not Kevin Feige fills the director’s seat, we know that he will executive produce «Secret Wars.» Unless he unexpectedly chooses to exit the MCU entirely (like, for example, to focus on something akin to his shelved «Star Wars» project), there’s no reason to suspect he won’t continue to serve in this capacity at least through the end of the Multiverse Saga.
