After Dunesday, Avengers: Secret Wars Will Be Competing In Theaters With Two Major Sequels

Shuri nodding in the Avengers: Doomsday teaser.

In the final weeks of the 2026 movies schedule, Avengers: Doomsday will be released in theaters, kicking off the beginning of the end of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Multiverse Saga. Then this era will come to a close just a year later with the arrival of Avengers: Secret Wars. However, if you thought this upcoming Marvel movie was the only major release slotted for December 17, 2027, think again. Now there are not one, but two major sequels coming out that same day, giving this year’s “Dunesday” a run for its money.

For those who don’t know, “Dunesday” refers to how Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three are both coming out on December 16 (or “Pughsday,” if you prefer). Well, I can’t think of what December 17, 2027 will be nicknamed thanks to the latest calendar update. We already knew before today that Secret Wars would be going up against The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, but now Lionsgate has officially scheduled The Housemaid’s Secret on that same day.
