Wed Apr 30 07:00:00 UTC 2025: ## X-Men Legend Chris Claremont Drops Potential Avengers: Secret Wars Spoilers at Pop Culture Expo
**Huntsville, AL –** Acclaimed comic book writer Chris Claremont, known for his extensive work on the X-Men franchise, may have inadvertently revealed major plot points for Marvel’s upcoming *Avengers: Secret Wars* during a recent appearance at the Huntsville Pop Culture Expo. While speaking about the film, Claremont hinted at several surprising developments.
According to attendees, Claremont suggested Robert Downey Jr. will reprise his role as Iron Man and portray multiple characters in the film. He also claimed Chris Evans will return as both a young Steve Rogers and the HYDRA Captain America, and that Elizabeth Olsen will reappear as a “good” Scarlet Witch. Furthermore, Claremont mentioned Psylocke’s return and teased a significant death at the hands of Wolverine.
The veracity of Claremont’s statements remains uncertain. While some details, like Olsen’s return and HYDRA Cap, align with previous rumors, others, such as Downey Jr.’s multiple roles and the specific plot involving Wolverine and Psylocke, are entirely new. It’s possible Claremont conflated rumors with confirmed information, or perhaps he unintentionally divulged privileged information.
Marvel Studios has yet to officially comment on these alleged spoilers. Recently, Marvel Television boss Brad Winderbaum addressed speculation of an MCU reboot following *Secret Wars*, stating that a full reboot is practically impossible due to the significant fan investment in the existing storyline.
*Avengers: Doomsday* is slated for release in May 2026, with *Avengers: Secret Wars* following in May 2027. Claremont’s comments can be heard in a recording from the Expo, starting at the 9:10 mark. The revelation has sparked intense speculation among Marvel fans, who are eagerly awaiting official confirmation from Marvel Studios.
