Overview

  • Avengers: Doomsday is now set for release on December 18, 2026, while Avengers: Secret Wars will follow on December 17, 2027, delaying both films by seven months.
  • The delays are part of Disney's strategy to focus on fewer, higher-quality Marvel films, aligning with CEO Bob Iger's comments on improving the franchise's narrative coherence.
  • Robert Downey Jr. returns to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Doctor Doom, marking his first appearance in the franchise since 2019’s Avengers: Endgame.
  • Filming for Avengers: Doomsday is underway in London with Joe and Anthony Russo directing, and the film features a sprawling ensemble cast including characters from the Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four, and X-Men.
  • Marvel Studios has implemented stricter secrecy measures during production, with a set leaker recently receiving a formal warning after sharing unauthorized footage.
