Premise
Set fourteen months after Thunderbolts*, heroes from three universes are forced together to stop Doctor Doom. The Avengers, Wakandans and New Avengers come from Earth-616, the Fantastic Four from Earth-828, and the “original” X-Men from a separate universe. Kevin Feige says the film picks up where Endgame left off, with the colliding-universes idea taken from Secret Wars.
