We still have a long way to go to get to the finish line of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Multiverse Saga and if you've been keeping track of everything that's been going on so far, it's almost guaranteed that the next chapter of the MCU will be centered on the mutants.
However, it looks like Marvel Studios has other plans in mind and just when we all thought we've already figured out the studio's next move, Kevin Feige might throw a massive curveball that will undoubtedly change the entire complexion of the MCU in the next five years.
Avengers: Secret Wars Serves as the MCU's Soft Reboot Says Kevin Feige
According to Joanna Robinson, co-author of MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios (via @CanWeGetToast on X), the Marvel Studios boss is looking to hit the reset button on the franchise come Avengers: Secret Wars.
Robinson claims: "We have a quote from Kevin Feige sort of implying… that like Secret Wars will serve as a soft reboot in which they can prune everything. That's not to use a Loki-ism. Prune everything that's not working and just keep what is [working], or bring back people you thought were gone forever."

Of course, we've yet to get official word from Feige himself regarding the MCU's next step but it's worth mentioning that rumors about a reboot have been floating around for quite some time now.
Now, whether or not that would be a good idea remains to be seen but given the obvious decline in the franchise's overall quality, it's a risk worth taking.
As it stands, Avengers: Secret Wars is rumored to come out sometime in 2027. Meanwhile, the second season of Loki is already streaming on Disney+.
