In a move thatās 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 Marvelās 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.
š New Release Dates Revealed
š Avengers: Doomsday
Original Date: May 1, 2026
New Date: May 7, 2027
š Avengers: Secret Wars
Original Date: May 7, 2027
New Date: May 2, 2028
Thatās a full one-year delay for each film, extending the sagaās climax into the late 2020s.
š§Ŗ Whatās 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.
š 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.
āWeād rather take the time to make something unforgettable,ā Feige reportedly said in an internal town hall.
š§ Final Thoughts
While delays are always disappointing, the stakes for Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars couldnāt be higher. These films are expected to be the MCUās Endgame-level finales, with multiversal crossover potential that could bring back everyone from Hugh Jackmanās Wolverine to Tobey Maguireās Spider-Man.
With more time and careful recalibration, Marvel might just stick the landingāand fans are willing to wait if it means the return of that signature MCU magic.
