The future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe seems to involve a MULTIVERSE, so some fans suggest that a name change for the MCU would be appropriate.
WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Loki Episode 6, “For All Time. Always,” streaming now on Disney+.
The finale of Marvel Studios’ hit Disney+ steaming series, Loki, dramatically reshapes the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the exploding nature of the Multiverse, something that will be playing a major role in the upcoming films, Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, Spider-Man: No Way Home and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. However, some fans are suggesting that the change is so dramatic that we should start referring to the MCU by a whole other name.
You see, if the Mulitverse is now going to be a major part of Marvel’s TV and film projects (with What If…? being another upcoming project tying into these concepts), then one fan suggested that the Multiverse be officially incorporated into the name of this whole interconnected continuity.
Charles Murphy, the person behind the popular Murphy’s Multiverse, tweeted, “You have to stop typing MCU now. Think about that. Think about how one episode of a streaming series changed everything. Marvel Cinematic Multiverse”

Murphy’s tweet led many other fans to start theorizing about what this means to the MCU, or should we say, the MCM, as one fan noted that this certainly opens up things to, say, include Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. into canon…
But more than that, it really does make it so that every Marvel film that has ever existed can be part of this new Marvel Cinematic Multiverse.
In other words, when we have said MCU in the past, we mean the movies that launched out of 2008’s Iron Man, but if the Multiverse approach holds true, than Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man, for instance, is just as much part of the Marvel Cinematic Multiverse as the Tom Holland Spider-Man films.
This truly is a game-changer and fans are going nuts on social media trying to take into account just how much this shifts the whole film approach of Marvel Studios going forward. As one fan joked, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige is playing fourth-dimensional chess with this all.
Loki stars Tom Hiddleston, Owen Wilson, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Wunmi Mosaku, Sophia Di Martino, Richard E. Grant, Sasha Lane, and Eugene Cordero. All six episodes of Season 1 are available on Disney+.
