[[WMG: Mephisto [[Main/GreaterScopeVillain ran HYDRA the whole time.]]]]
It would make a great Main/TwilightZoneTwist for the MCU. And it also fits with his role in the events of the MCU as aforementioned.

S.H.I.E.L.D. recruited them but because they were so famous they had to take on new identities so as not to draw attention to themselves. Ron took up archery and the whole ‘red in my ledger’ was just a way to get ‘Natasha’ some infamy since she didn’t really exist. They explain their connection to each other by saying he brought her in to the organization. Oh, and Mr. Barkin’s name wasn’t actually Mr. Barkin, it was Phil Coulson. He was planted in their high school to keep an eye on them and introduce them to S.H.I.E.L.D. when he thought they were ready. That’s why he’s their handler, he’s had the most experience with them.

* Ones where they fail, like in some WesternAnimation/WhatIf stories.

However, they could do a loose adaptation of the Eternity War instead of a truer to the text version. In fact, they could use elements from [[ComicBook/JasonAaronsAvengers Jason Aaron's run of the Avengers]] and make the oft-rumored Mephisto the main villain of the saga. The Council of Red and the Multiversal Masters of Evil could also appear as well--along with ComicBook/DoctorDoom, who not only played a major role in ''Secret Wars'', but also has a big role in Jason Aaron's ''Avengers'' run.

[[WMG: Captain America will do a PowerWalk towards Thanos]]

His real name is [[Film/PulpFiction Jules Winnfield]] he was originally a hitman until a [[HeelFaithTurn "Moment of Clarity"]] led to him quitting to [[WalkingTheEarth walk the earth]] until he found a calling, this led to him becoming a government agent for many years bouncing around agencies and using multiple codenames such as [[Film/{{Basic}} Sergeant West]], [[Film/SnakesOnAPlane Agent Neville Flynn]], [[Film/TheNegotiator Danny Roman]], [[Film/{{xXx}} Augustus Gibbons]], [[Film/{{Unthinkable}} Henry Herald 'H' Humphries]], [[Film/{{Swat}} Sgt. Luger]] before rising through the ranks too become [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse Director of S.H.E.I.L.D]] using the codename Nick Fury [[LegacyCharacter which was previously used by]] another agent who may or may not be [[Series/KnightRider Micheal Knight]] but that's a WMG for another day. after [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier faking his death]] he retired to become a [[Film/KillBill piano player named Rufus]] (with a glass eye).

Not only will Dane Whitman will debut as the Black Knight, but other characters will appear in the film. Blade will likely cross paths with other supernatural characters. Jack Russell, Man-Thing, Elsa Bloodstone, Marc Spector/Moon Knight and potentially Layla Abdallah El-Faouly will appear to assist Blade. The big bad of the film will be a resurrected Dracula.

In conclusion, the next MCU saga after the Multiverse Saga could take elements from Al Ewing's multiverse-building comics and Jason Aaron's multiversal Avengers run to create something that can even top ''Secret Wars''.

* Jossed. Ronan The Accuser is the main villian of [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy the film]].

This was inspired by a theory claiming Thanos was engaging in a BatmanGambit. To begin with let's admit that Thanos's plan to gather the Infinity stones can seem unnecessarily complicated and risky. Thanos starts out with the mind stone and gives it away to a person he knows is untrustworthy. Why doesn't he simply invade Earth which he knows has two infinity stones? The answer is twofold. Firstly he doesn't know where all the stones are so his plan can't currently be carried out. Secondly he doesn't want to reveal his plans until he can carry them out. So by sending Loki he can pacify Earth and locate the tesseract while concealing his plans. These plans change once Loki's invasion fails. Now Thanos knows Earth has beings capable of resisting him. So he waits for an opportunity. This occurs when the teseract is put in Asgard, the reality stone surfaces, and the Avengers gain hold of the mind stone. Now it was shown by the first Avengers that an Infinity stone (i.e the tesseract) can be remotely manipulated by someone who knows how to use the stone (i.e. Loki). In Avengers 2 Ultron seems to come to life by itself while Tony and Bruce aren't watching their equipment and the mind stone. This could be explained as Thanos manipulating the mind stone in order to create Ultron. Ultron had a chance to destroy the Avengers and would almost certainly weaken/divide them. Either outcome would've worked for Thanos. Once again the Avengers save the earth but the seeds of their destruction are sown. Now this next part is a bit dubious. Perhaps Thanos finds the time stone because he can probe the earth with the mind stone even when it's in Vision. This could also explain how Thanos treats Tony Stark like he knows him personally. A year before Ultron Thanos is trying to retrieve the power stone. He doesn't intervene because he believes at first that he'll get the stone discreetly. Then maybe he thinks he can pick up the stone once Ronan destroys Xandar and most likely himself. Once again his plans fail but Thanos both knows where the stone is and his enemies are lulled to sleep. After the Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers 2 Thanos knows the locations of 5 of the stones. But four of them are heavily guarded and the Avengers suspect a threat so once again he waits. Within three years both the Avengers and Asgard are shattered. Only 1 stone is missing but he has a lead through Gamorra. Now that the stage is set Thanos makes his move. He attacks Xandar to get the power stone when the Guardians are gone. This probably still cost Thanos at least the Chitauri (an admittedly weak force). He then attacks the Asgardian refugees to get the mind stone. By not ensuring Thor's death Thanos either intentionally or luckily alerts the Guardians which leads Gamora to Thanos. She reaches him once he's acquired the reality stone. Then Thanos ruthlessly tortures Nebula to get Gamora to lead him to the last stone. He then reluctantly kills Gamora for the soul stone. While this is happening Thanos's forces are openly attacking Dr Stange and quietly attacking Vision. This could be a gambit to distract the Avengers so the mindstone can be quickly retrieved. And then maybe the timestone could've been retrieved with difficulty. Neither of these alternatives happens but Vision is weakened and Dr. Strange goes after Thanos with only moderate support. Then Thanos nearly loses to Dr. Strange and co but is saved by Star Lord's outburst. At this point it doesn't matter that Thanos's entire army has been destroyed. They suceeded in preventing the mind stone from being destroyed before Thanos acquired the time stone. Thanos easily takes the mind stone but he has one last peril. Thor was left for dead by Thanos either intentionally or as an accident. Whatever Thanos's intentions they backfire when Thor nearly kills him. However both luck and Thor's need for revenge give Thanos time to accomplish his goal. Ultimately Thanos accomplished his goal through ample amounts of plannning, patience, luck, and decisive action. Thanos even quits while he's ahead by destroying the stones while he can. But it was all undone in five years by a plan Dr. Strange thought up hours before confronting Thanos.
