Marvel Studios Has Made A Super Surprising Call With Their Upcoming Slate, And It Feels Like A Missed Opportunity

In a director's chair, a grey-suited Robert Downey Jr. shushes the camera as Marvel reveals the Doomsday cast. .

Looking at the Marvel Cinematic Universe as it currently exists, there's no argument that the franchise peaked from 2018 to 2019. Millions around the world were losing their minds with excitement because of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, and that hype was so big that it rubbed off on to the smaller features in between – namely Ant-Man And The Wasp and Captain Marvel. Given the immense success that came out of the scheduling strategy, one would think that the canon would attempt to replicate it with the upcoming Marvel movies Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret War – but today we have news that won't be happening.

In 2026, MCU fans will have two blockbusters to look forward to, with Spider-Man: Brand New Day scheduled for July and Avengers: Doomsday set for December, but it appears that fans are going to have to wait a full year after that for more canon action on the big screen. In a news story about the new release date for The Simpsons Movie 2 (which will be heading to theaters on July 23, 2027), Variety says that there won't be any other Marvel Studios film released in 2027 other than Avengers: Secret Wars.
