Marvel Delays Next Two Avengers Films, Adjusts Phase 6 Release Schedule

Marvel Studios has announced significant schedule changes for its upcoming Avengers franchise installments. Industry publication The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Avengers: Doomsday will now debut on December 18th, 2026 instead of its originally planned May 1st, 2026 release. Its sequel, Avengers: Secret Wars, shifts from May 7th, 2027 to December 17th, 2027.

The studio has confirmed the return of directors Anthony and Joe Russo for both blockbuster productions. In a major casting coup, Robert Downey Jr. will reappear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe - not as Iron Man, but in the iconic villain role of Doctor Doom, with reports indicating Marvel secured his participation through substantial negotiations.

Details emerging about Doomsday suggest an unprecedented ensemble featuring actors from previous Avengers installments, newer MCU additions, numerous X-Men characters, and cast members from this summer's Fantastic Four: First Steps. While rumors indicate Chris Evans will make a high-profile return, Marvel has yet to confirm which character he'll portray.

Disney has allocated The Devil Wears Prada 2 to fill Doomsday's vacated May 2026 premiere date. This scheduling adjustment follows the recent debut of Thunderbolts* and precedes the July 25th theatrical release of Fantastic Four: First Steps.
