Marvel Studios’ new Avengers need longer before they can assemble. Avengers: Doomsday is being pushed back from May 1st, 2026 to December 18th, 2026, while Avengers: Secret Wars will now release on December 17th, 2027 instead of May 7th, 2027.

Disney is instead filling their May 2026 release slot with 20th Century’s The Devil Wears Prada 2, which has Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci rumoured to return.

Though Kevin Feige & co. announced a large number of actors and characters would appear in Doomsday, sources report that Marvel isn’t done with revealing the entire cast. Notable absences include Brie Larson (Captain Marvel), Tom Holland (Spider-Man), Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange), Mark Ruffalo (The Hulk), Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye), Hailee Steinfeld (Kate Bishop), Chris Pratt (Star-Lord), and more. The Russo brothers, as previously announced, are directing the feature.

While little is yet known of Doomsday‘s plot, we expect to see the assembled heroes pitted against the formidable Doctor Doom (Robert Downey Jr.) as multiple realities are pulled into a multiverse-spanning conflict.

Prior to the Avengers films, upcoming MCU film releases include Fantastic Four: First Steps on July 7th, 2025, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day on July 31st, 2026. There’s still a chance that Spider-Man might be delayed.
