Overview
- Marvel has officially positioned Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars as the end of the Multiverse Saga and the hinge into a rebooted Phase Seven of the MCU.
- The studio announced three confirmed Phase Seven films with directors and dates set for 2028: an X‑Men reboot (Jake Schreier), Ghost Rider starring Ryan Gosling (Shawn Levy), and Black Panther III (Ryan Coogler).
- Avengers: Doomsday is slated for a December release and Avengers: Secret Wars is scheduled for December 17, 2027, providing concrete timing for the transition to the next era.
- Single‑source scoops claim Phase Seven may total nine films with a Champions/Young Avengers project and a visible Wiccan moment in Secret Wars, but those details remain unverified by Marvel and should be treated as rumors.
- Using Secret Wars as a reset follows Marvel’s past practice of ending long arcs with a large crossover, and the confirmed slate plus speculative reports suggest the studio could pace Phase Seven across 2028–2030 while juggling X‑Men, new young heroes, and established franchises.
