- Avengers: Doomsday will be released on December 18, 2026, and Warner Bros. has claimed the same date for Dune 3.
- As per the sources, the studio is in no mood to step back despite the competition.
- The coming year will certainly see one of the biggest box-office clashes in the history.
Following the tremendous success of Dune 2, it seems Warner Bros. believes that it has created a cultural momentum that will help it to stand its ground, no matter how big the competition is. Denis Villeneuve’s upcoming film surely has great potential, but does it have a chance to win against the Marvel film that will be released on the same day? It seems Warner Bros. is confident enough to give the world one of the biggest box-office clashes in recent years.
Dune 3 and Avengers Doomsday Set to Release on December 18, 2026

2023 gave us Barbenheimer and it looks like the coming year will bless the community with Dunesday. With both the films being parts of the juggernaut franchises, fans will be treated to a day of movie marathon in the holiday season of 2026. In the recent episode of The Hot Mic and Matt Belloni’s The Town Podcast, it was revealed that Warner Bros. is in no mood to shift the release date for Dune 3, as they claimed it first. Well, it seems they are not at all worried about the competition, which is Avengers Doomsday.
Dune has cemented itself as one of the movie franchises meant to be experienced in theaters. Be it the cinematography, the soundtrack and everything, the movies of this franchise make sense when watched on the big screens. Well, on the other hand, Avengers: Doomsday is going to be really big, as following Endgame, the franchise had a shaky run. So, after years of waiting, fans will finally be able to meet Steve Rodgers and Robert Downey Jr., and it still feels unreal.
For the time being, none of the studios has backed out of the release slate. So, until any official announcement regarding it surfaces, let’s say that the next year will end with a bang. Also, it means that both movies will bleed our pockets dry by releasing on the same day.
