Fans eagerly anticipating the next entries in the Avengers saga will have to wait a while longer, as Marvel Studios has pushed back the release dates of both 2026’s Avengers: Doomsday and its 2027 follow-up, Avengers: Secret Wars, to the end of each of their respective release years.
Originally slated for a 1 May 2026 release, Avengers: Doomsday will now hit theatres seven months later on 18 December 2026. Avengers: Secret Wars will also see a similar delay, with its release date shifted from 7 May 2027 to 17 December 2027. According to further reports by Variety, the studio has also “[removed] several unannounced Marvel titles off of its calendar”, which included three “Untitled Marvel” projects that were set for 13 February 2026, 6 November 2026 and 5 November 2027, with the latter two amended to “Untitled Disney” films instead.
With the changes, 2026 will only see two entries to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU): Avengers: Doomsday and Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the Sony-Marvel sequel to 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, currently set for release on 31 July 2026, although this can still change in the coming months.
According to The Hollywood Reporter’s sources, Doomsday and Secret Wars are set to be two of the biggest titles Marvel has ever made, with the delay helping to ease their production schedules, with the former currently filming in the UK. Additionally, the film’s delay means that there is now no new Marvel film between this year’s The Fantastic 4: First Steps in July and 2026’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day, marking the MCU’s largest gap between films since 2019’s Spider-Man: Far From Home and 2021’s Black Widow.
Marvel Studios also has two previously announced titles in its pipeline, Armor Wars and Blade, although neither project has an official release date, with the latter recently hitting another roadblock in its development with the film dropping its composer.
