Avengers: Doomsday, Avengers: Secret Wars POSTPONED; New Release Dates Announced

Last Updated:
there is now no theatrical Marvel feature slated to release between 'The Fantastic 4: First Steps' on July 25 and the fourth Tom Holland 'Spider-Man' installment on July 31, 2026.
Disney has delayed the release of Marvel Studios' upcoming team-up features 'Avengers: Doomsday" and 'Avengers: Secret Wars." It will now be released in 2026 and 2027, respectively.
'Doomsday" is now set to debut on December 18, 2026. It was earlier scheduled to hit the screens on May 1, 2026. To match, the follow-up 'Avengers: Secret Wars" is moving its release to December 17, 2027, after previously being set for May 7, 2027, reports Variety.com.
Disney announced both 'Avengers" delays Thursday afternoon, alongside a sweeping reorganisation of its coming theatrical slate.
Notably, the new calendar saw the studio remove several unannounced Marvel titles off of its calendar. The date of February 13, 2026, previously slotted for an 'Untitled Marvel" project, has been removed from the schedule.
Meanwhile, the dates of November 6, 2026 and November 5, 2027, also both previously set for 'Untitled Marvel" features have been amended to simply 'Untitled Disney" films. With those changes, 'Avengers: Doomsday" and Sony's 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day" are now the only Marvel Cinematic Universe entries slated to hit theatres in 2026.
Additionally, there is now no theatrical Marvel feature slated to release between 'The Fantastic 4: First Steps" on July 25 and the fourth Tom Holland 'Spider-Man" installment on July 31, 2026 — more than a year later.
It'll be the MCU's biggest gap between feature films since the COVID-era gap between 2019's 'Spider-Man: Far From Home" and 2021's 'Black Widow."
Disney has kept a few flags planted on 2028 dates for 'Untitled Marvel" features: Feb. 18, May 5 and Nov. 10. Marvel Studios has also previously announced titles like 'Armor Wars" and 'Blade," though neither film project currently has an official release date.
The notable decrease in theatrical Marvel features on the immediate horizon aligns with Disney CEO Bob Iger's recently articulated strategy for the company's superhero features.
During an investor call, Iger shared that Marvel Studios had 'lost a little focus by making too much" between its tent poles and various Disney+ series. He continued, 'By consolidating a bit and having Marvel focus much more on their films, we believe that will result in better quality."

In the presence of genius
Ishaan Khatter The Royals Zeenat Aman Majid Majidi Actor Ishaan Khatter, who was recently seen in the streaming series '', has spoken about his learning curve while working with veterans of the craft likeand the Iranian filmmakerIshaan made his film debut with Majidi's 'Beyond The Clouds', and has recently worked with Zeenat Aman in 'The Royals'. The actor spoke with IANS recently, and shared his experience of working with the distinguished artists. Ishaan told IANS, 'I think the only way to look at it is as an opportunity to seek and learn and hopefully have some of that genius energy rub off on you and the beauty of what they do. Before I started doing any of what I do, I was an audience. Before I was an audience, I was just a human being, an observer and I think observing is probably the first step to being an artist and to being an actor'.The actor further mentioned that he has been very lucky to be able to observe some veterans at their craft making art and it has influenced who he wants to be as an artist in a 'very big way'.He shared, 'I was very lucky to bring it back to my first film, I was very lucky to start with someone like Majid Majidi because he really set the foundation for me as an actor and all the things that I wanted to be and all the things that I desired as an artist, he gave me the nudge in that direction and reassured me that,2 'Yes, this is your path''. 'The first thing he ever told me as a performer, as an actor, as his leading man in the film was, 'I know that you want to be a great actor, but focus on becoming a good human being first and everything you want will come from there'.2 And so that's the best advice I ever received,' he added.

'Sitaare Zameen Par' makers shares his opinion on marching of tech in cinema
Director R.S. Prasanna, who is awaiting the release of his upcoming film 'Sitaare Zameen Par', feels that human beings will soon catch up with the technological changes in filmmaking. The filmmaker spoke with IANS in the run-up to the release of his film, which features Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh. He recollected how he saw Indian cinema legend Kamal Haasan experimenting with a digital camera, Red Dragon. Speaking with IANS, Prasanna said, "I think the industry is pretty fast in adapting, like I remember when 35mm film was there and I was in film school and Kamal Haasan sir was testing the Red camera in our L.V. Prasad Film Institute, Chennai where I studied. He was doing a test shoot. I remember all the people around saying, 'it's just a fad and it'll not happen, it's not gonna happen', and it did". Aamir Khan's altered AI video hits cyberspace; 'Mr Perfectionist' issues clarification on 'endorsing' a particular political party The director said that one cannot stop the march of technology and one has to adapt. The audience will demand a change, the filmmakers will rise, the technological change will happen as it should, and experiments will keep happening, some will click, some will not. He further mentioned, "But I think one thing which will never change is the way our hearts beat, so as long as the heart is there in everything, the visual is only pixels, the sound is only decibels, but that feeling, that soul, that is, as long as we have a heart, stories told by humans will always be relevant". He then cited the example of romance as to how the shape or form of romance in cinematic storytelling has changed but the soul is the same. He shared, "If you see around yourself, romance has been there from early manage, they may say romance has changed, no romance has not changed, the medium has changed, today you call it situationship or anything else but, still the heart pains if you don't get to be with the person of your choice". "I feel unless genetically our heart changes or our mind changes, I think storytelling and emotions will be the same, the form will keep changing and we have to be on the awareness of that as a director, but I think for me as a filmmaker, I'm only looking for the soul, which I think soul is very old, so it won't change that fast", he added. Produced by Aamir Khan under his banner, Aamir Khan Productions, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' is set to release in cinemas on June 20, 2025.
