- Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars have been delayed to December 18, 2026, and December 17, 2027.
- This delay was revealed with the revamped release slate displayed by Disney.
- This delay pushes back Avengers: Doomsday and puts Spider-Man: Brand New Day before it, giving Spider-Man the chance of appearing in the upcoming Avengers project.
If you have been waiting to witness the Avengers assemble once again in Avengers: Doomsday, you are in for a bit of a disappointment. Unfortunately, Marvel has delayed both the upcoming Avengers projects, Doomsday and Secret Wars, to a later date. Initially, both movies were set to release on May 1, 2026, and May 7, 2027, but now, the release has been shifted by a couple of months.
First reported by Variety, the release of the two much-anticipated and upcoming Avengers movies has been postponed. The new release dates are:
- Avengers: Doomsday has been shifted to December 18, 2026
- Avengers: Secret Wars has been delayed to December 17, 2027
The revamp saw several “Untitled Marvel ” projects officially removed from the calendar. Earlier, February 13, 2026, was reserved for a Marvel project, but that has now been removed. Moreover, November 6, 2026, and November 5, 2027, which were originally reserved for a Marvel project, have been replaced with “Untitled Disney” movies.
That being said, only two Marvel movies, Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Avengers: Doomsday, will be released in 2026. This delay also means that the upcoming Spider-Man movie will come to theaters before the events of Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars. Initially, Spider-Man: Brand New Day was supposed to be happening in parallel to Doomsday, but this change allows Spidey to find his way to the upcoming Avengers movie.
An interesting thing about this change in the release date is that Dune 3 and Avengers: Doomsday are now releasing on the same day.
