šŸ•°ļø Disney Postpones Release Dates for Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars

In a move that’s shaking up the entire MCU timeline, Disney and Marvel Studios have officially postponed the release dates for two of the most anticipated superhero films in cinematic history: Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.

Originally slated to be the epic conclusion of Marvel’s Multiverse Saga, both films are now being pushed further into the future, with studio insiders citing production delays, VFX pipeline congestion, and a strategic shift in franchise pacing.


šŸ“† New Release Dates Revealed

šŸ›‘ Avengers: Doomsday

Original Date: May 1, 2026

New Date: May 7, 2027


šŸ›‘ Avengers: Secret Wars

Original Date: May 7, 2027

New Date: May 2, 2028


That’s a full one-year delay for each film, extending the saga’s climax into the late 2020s.


🧪 What’s Behind the Delay?

Sources close to Marvel cite a combination of factors:


  • Script revisions under new creative leadership

  • Scheduling conflicts with key cast members, especially as Secret Wars is expected to unite characters from multiple universes

  • The need for advanced VFX work across dozens of multiversal battle sequences

  • Internal efforts to avoid franchise fatigue after a mixed critical reception to recent MCU entries

  • Marvel is also reportedly reevaluating the order and importance of certain Disney+ series and Phase 6 movies that were originally meant to tie directly into Secret Wars.


šŸ” What About the Multiverse Saga?

Despite the delays, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige emphasized that the Multiverse Saga remains intact, though slightly restructured. Standalone films like Fantastic Four and Shang-Chi 2, as well as rumored X-Men debuts, may now fill the gap in 2026, offering fans something fresh while the mainline Avengers story simmers.

ā€œWe’d rather take the time to make something unforgettable,ā€ Feige reportedly said in an internal town hall.


🧠 Final Thoughts

While delays are always disappointing, the stakes for Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars couldn’t be higher. These films are expected to be the MCU’s Endgame-level finales, with multiversal crossover potential that could bring back everyone from Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine to Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man.


With more time and careful recalibration, Marvel might just stick the landing—and fans are willing to wait if it means the return of that signature MCU magic.
