Marvel CANCELS Avengers: Doomsday And Avengers: Secret Wars Initial Release Dates, Find Out Postponed Timeline
Marvel Studios has pushed Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars to late 2026 and 2027 as a part of their strategic realignment. Originally slated for May 1, 2026, release, MCU has conceded that highly-coveted date to The Devil Wears Prada 2.
Avengers: Doomsday will now hit theaters on December 18, 2026. Its successor, Secret Wars, will follow on December 17, 2027, shifting from its earlier May 2027 release.
The change of schedule indicates a bigger readjustment of Disney's release slate, which was announced Thursday along with the cancellation of several untitled Marvel projects on the studio's docket.
Directed by MCU veterans, the Russo Brothers, in addition to the highly anticipated return of Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, the movie is one of Marvel's most ambitious projects to date. Both Secret Wars and Doomsday are turning out to be some of Marvel's biggest undertakings.
According to Variety, Disney CEO Bob Iger recently mentioned that Marvel had "lost a little focus by making too much" content both for feature films and Disney+ series. He added, "By consolidating a bit and having Marvel focus much more on their films, we believe that will result in better quality."
Marvel has erased previously scheduled slots on February 13, November 6 (2026), and November 5 (2027) and retitled them as "Untitled Disney" movies. Avengers: Doomsday and Spider-Man: Brand New Day are now the only officially announced MCU releases for 2026, after Fantastic Four: First Steps, which arrives on July 25. This marks the longest interval between Marvel movies since the pandemic.
With Marvel taking a step back from its usual May launch, Disney has taken over the May 1st release date with the Meryl Streep-starrer. Avengers: Doomsday will now arrive on December 18, 2026, while Avengers: Secret Wars will hit the theatres on December 17, 2027.

Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell discover a new world in trailer for The Big Bold Beautiful Journey. Watch
Sony Pictures has just released the trailer for A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, featuring stars Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell in the lead roles. The narrative has the two protagonists go through a series of doors that take them to a particular memory from their lives. Kogonada, known for films like Columbus (2017), After Yang (2021), and the series Pachinko (2022), will be at the helm of the project. The trailer starts with Sarah (Margot) and David (Colin) at a wedding, which both are attending alone, and two lonely people joining the celebration of a marriage seems to be a good starting point for their relationship as characters. Soon after the wedding, David is seen driving, and his GPS assistant asks him, 'David, would you like to go on a big, bold, beautiful journey?' to which he answers, 'Yes.' He then picks up Sarah, and the two of them begin this journey, knowing nothing of what lies ahead of them. Watch | Chris Hemsworth talks about legacy of Thor and his return in Marvel's Avengers Doomsday They start going through different doors together, soon realising that these are gateways to past memories. David makes a visit to his high school on the same day he got rejected by a girl he loved, while Sarah visits her mother from when she was sick and has since then passed away. The trailer seems to suggest that the doors don't take them to some random memories but take them to times which made an impact on their lives. Although, later on, David says, 'I want to go back to a time when I thought everything would work out for me,' so it's unclear whether they can control their destinations. A Big Bold Beautiful Journey seems to revolve around the theme of companionship and choosing to be happy in one's life. Although the film allows them to go into their past and maybe learn from it, David's last dialogue in the trailer is about accepting one's reality and sharing it with someone. He says, 'No matter who you are in your life, you just need someone to share it with.' Apart from Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell, the cast of the film also includes Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Hamish Linklater, Billy Magnussen, Lily Rabe, Jodie Turner-Smith and Yuvi Hecth.

'Good Boy' review: Park Bo-gum's action-comedy lands strong punches with flair, fun characters, and knockout energy
'Good Boy' is the kind of show that winks at you right from the start. It knows it's here to entertain – and so far, it's doing a pretty good job of it. This new South Korean action-comedy series, written by Lee Dae-il and directed by Shim Na-yeon, brings together a pretty exciting mix of things: former sports stars turned police officers, stylish action sequences, and just the right dash of heart and humor. The cast? A total treat – Park Bo-gum, Kim So-hyun, Oh Jung-se, Lee Sang-yi, Heo Sung-tae, and Tae Won-seok all bring something fun and fresh to the screen. The show premiered with some fanfare in Bangkok on May 31st, 2025, and is streaming across several platforms – Netflix, Disney+ (in South Korea), and Amazon Prime Video globally. So, yes, it's accessible and buzz-worthy. But is it worth diving into? Based on the first two episodes, we'd say yes – with some cautious optimism. Let's start with the tone. 'Good Boy' doesn't try to be mysterious or overly serious. It sets out to be fun and succeeds. The plot centres around five former athletes who, for various reasons, leave behind their sports careers and end up as part of a special crime-fighting police unit. It's a bit of a stretch conceptually, sure, but it's played with such charm that you're happy to go along for the ride. You don't actually see much of their sports pasts until the final stretch of episode one, which honestly turns out to be a great little payoff. Up until then, you're getting to know them as quirky, flawed, but very likable characters adjusting to their new lives. And when the action kicks in? It's worth the wait. Park Bo-gum, fresh off the international success of 'When Life Gives You Tangerines', slides effortlessly into this new, very different role. It might seem hard to top that last hit, but to be fair, 'Good Boy' isn't trying to top it – it's doing its own thing. Here, Bo-gum plays a boxer-turned-cop, and he's got the charm and physicality to make it believable. His scenes, especially the ones in motion, are shot beautifully. The camera work during action sequences – particularly with Bo-gum and Lee Sang-yi, who plays a former fencer – is sharp, fluid, and engaging. You feel like you're in the middle of it with them, catching every punch, lunge, and fall. Kim So-hyun holding a massive gun wasn't on anyone's 2025 bingo card, but hey – we love surprises. While her sport didn't exactly prep her for close combat, she still pulls off her action moments with a steady hand and some fierce energy. It's nice to see her stepping into such a strong, confident role, even if we haven't seen the full range of her abilities just yet. One moment that absolutely deserves a shoutout is from Shin Jae-hong – the gentle giant of the squad – who nails a sewer lid throw (yes, really) with all the flair of an Olympic shot-putter. It's one of those scenes that makes you sit up, grin, and go, 'Okay, now this is fun.' The last part of episode one, where we finally see all five characters tap into their athletic sides, is a total visual treat. And let's talk music. American artist MAX, known for his work with BTS's Suga and Le Sserafim's Huh Yun-jin, lends his voice to the main OST, 'Get In The Ring'. It's punchy, upbeat, and matches the vibe of the show perfectly. Using it during the climax of episode one was a smart move – it felt like the show officially entered the ring, pun absolutely intended. While the main trio – Bo-gum, Sang-yi, and So-hyun – are clearly in the spotlight, there's genuine excitement around the rest of the cast. Oh Jung-se, Heo Sung-tae, and Tae Won-seok haven't had their big moments yet, but knowing their range and past performances, we're betting they'll deliver soon. So, two episodes in, 'Good Boy' isn't trying to reinvent the wheel. But it's rolling along smoothly on good writing, great chemistry, fun action, and lots of promise. There's plenty of room for growth, and we're holding onto the benefit of the doubt that the best is yet to come. If you're looking for a show that's light, stylish, funny, and packed with heart – this just might be your next favorite watch.
