Overview

  • Avengers: Doomsday will now release on December 18, 2026, and Avengers: Secret Wars on December 17, 2027, moving from their original May release dates.
  • The delays aim to provide additional time for production and post-production, ensuring the films meet the high standards expected for these massive crossover events.
  • Spider-Man: Brand New Day, scheduled for July 31, 2026, will now precede both Avengers films, potentially setting up connections between the stories.
  • The Devil Wears Prada 2 has been slated for the May 1, 2026 release date previously held by Avengers: Doomsday.
  • Marvel’s strategic shift under Disney CEO Bob Iger emphasizes fewer, higher-quality releases, addressing past criticisms of rushed visual effects and storytelling.
