Overview

• Disney announced an untitled Marvel feature set for December 15, 2028, bringing its total films that year to four alongside February, May and November releases.
• The decision contradicts Bob Iger’s May statement that Marvel had “lost a little focus” by producing too many projects and would scale back its output.
• Industry observers note Disney often holds placeholder dates that can be reassigned if other films or development delays intervene.
• The late-2028 slot has prompted industry and fan speculation that it could introduce the X-Men saga as the next phase after Avengers: Secret Wars.
• Marvel’s upcoming slate for 2026–27 includes The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, setting the stage for a post-Secret Wars shift.
