Marvel maniacs are going to have to muster more patience to watch "Avengers: Doomsday" and "Avengers: Secret Wars" as Disney and Marvel Studios has announced that those two titanic superhero projects are each getting a seven-month bump in their release schedules. Will both big-budget tentpoles fare better in winter cloaks?
As revealed by Disney on Thursday afternoon, "Doomsday," starring Robert Downey Jr. as the villainous Victor von Doom, will be pushed into next year's holiday season and arrives on Dec. 18, 2026, a little more than seven months from its earlier intended launch date of May 1, 2026. Likewise, "Avengers: Secret Wars" will be taken off its initial spring showcase of May 7, 2027 and given a frosty drop date of Dec. 17, 2027.
