In The Wake Of Doomsday, Marvel Announces New Universe

Published Jul 31, 2026, 4:30 PM EDT Nicolas Ayala is a Senior Writer for the Comics team at ScreenRant, with over five years of experience writing about Superhero media, action movies, and TV shows. A whole new Marvel Universe is confirmed to launch as the company enters a new era. The MCU is expected to undergo its biggest transformation since Avengers: Endgame once Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars conclude the Multiverse Saga. Just as Endgame closed the Infinity Saga by retiring key heroes, Phase 6's two Avengers crossovers are set to shake the Marvel Cinematic Multiverse to the core and overhaul its continuity just like its source material did in the comics. The arrival of the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, and other legacy characters from across Marvel's cinematic history could permanently remodel the entire franchise. Marvel as a whole is entering a new creative era across every major medium. The critical acclaim of X-Men '97 and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man has strengthened Marvel's animation, while gaming has reached unprecedented heights with the global popularity of Marvel Rivals and the hype around Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls. The comics are facing equally ambitious changes, with the X-Men entering a new chapter after the Krakoan age, the Avengers confronting a world-changing crisis in Armageddon, and the acclaimed Ultimate Universe demonstrating the potential of separate continuities, an idea that will soon be underscored by the upcoming Midnight Universe. Besides the already existing mediums and formats Marvel has explored throughout the decades, a brand-new chapter of Marvel history is opening soon, starting with the release of three new series. Three Webtoon Series Will Kick Off A New Marvel Universe Iron Man, Deadpool, And The X-Men Will Star In Their Own Manhwa Titles Marvel and WEBTOON officially begin their collaboration with the release of three manhwa titles centered on some of Marvel's most popular properties, each tackling a different genre. The teenage romance Tony's Girl is a Romeo & Juliet story starring a young Tony Stark, who develops a romantic relationship with the daughter of his father's business rival. Meanwhile, That Time Deadpool Fell into Webtoon and Found the Longest Title of All Time blends modern isekai with Wade Wilson's fourth-wall-breaking abilities to traverse the WEBTOON universe, and X-Men Korea introduces the Koran equivalent of Professor X's school, Hoseok Academy for the Gifted, where the hero Yeong-seo Go meets other young mutants. Marvel is expanding its presence across Asian markets, with original content tailored to regional audiences. The company's strategy makes its collaboration with WEBTOON especially promising, as the platform has become one of the world's leading publishers of digital comics with an enormous international readership. The partnership creates an opportunity for Marvel to experiment with new genres and artistic styles that complement Marvel's traditional comic line. The vertical-scroll format and the storytelling sensibilities that have made WEBTOON a global phenomenon can cultivate original ideas that may eventually influence the wider Marvel Universe. Marvel's Webtoon Manhwa Series Might Be The Beginning Of A Whole Universe Marvel Has At Least Two Major Formats Left To Explore The range of genres that Marvel and WEBTOON could explore together is remarkably extensive. After Tony's Girl, school dramas starring teenage heroes could feature characters like Spider-Man, Ms. Marvel, the Young Avengers, and the New Mutants, while romance series could follow couples like Rogue and Gambit, Wiccan and Hulkling, and Jean Grey and Cyclops from perspectives rarely explored in traditional comics. Fantasy adventures could find their setting in Asgard, K'un-Lun, or the mystical corners of the Marvel Universe, while slice-of-life dramas and comedies could take place at the Daily Bugle or the Baxter Building. Tony's Girl, That Time Deadpool Fell into Webtoon and Found the Longest Title of All Time, and X-Men Korea could also become the foundation for an entirely new wave of animated projects. The episodic structure of webtoons translates naturally into serialized animation, which could allow Marvel to test new 2D concepts before committing to larger, long-term projects. The success of X-Men '97 and the potential success of Marvel's WEBTOON series could lead to groundbreaking anime productions. Which Marvel WEBTOON series are you looking forward to the most?
