Although the rate of upcoming Marvel movies has slowed, there is still plenty to anticipate between the MCU Phase 6 release slate and other Marvel movies beyond the MCU. This release slate incorporates both films and shows, which will either air on Disney+ or other streamers.
Marvel movies in general are in the midst of a pivotal moment. As MCU Phase 6 rounds out the Multiverse Saga and heralds a rebooted MCU, Sony’s oversight of the Spider-Man franchise has become more laser-focused on the popular wall-crawler following the demise of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, which concluded with Kraven the Hunter in 2024.
Information about these upcoming Marvel movies will be updated as further details are released. In the meantime, here’s what to expect from all things Marvel throughout the coming years.

Avengers: Doomsday – December 18, 2026
Avengers: Doomsday is slated to release on December 18, 2026, which was pushed back from the original release date of May 1, 2026. It will be the first official Avengers movie since 2019’s Avengers: Endgame, and the first Avengers movie within the Multiverse Saga (Thunderbolts*’ New Avengers title change notwithstanding).
Principal photography for Avengers: Doomsday began at the end of April 2025, and scenes from that set have been used in the post-credits scenes of Thunderbolts* and The Fantastic Four: First Steps to set the stage for the movie’s plot, which has been more fleshed out through promotional materials.
The story revolves around an incursion between three worlds: the MCU’s primary Earth-616, the Fantastic Four’s Earth-828, and a new world that hosts an X-Men team reminiscent of Fox’s original X-Men franchise, plus Gambit. These worlds will collide, with Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom emerging as the threat that the mightiest heroes from across these universes must work together to stop.
The Russo Brothers have been brought back to direct Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars following their dizzying success with prior double-tentpoles, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. The directors have championed the involvement of Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom as a pivotal reason for their return.
A significant portion of the Avengers: Doomsday cast was revealed in an hours-long live-stream media stunt in March 2025. The cast includes veteran MCU actors comprising the Avengers, New Avengers, and Wakandans, in addition to MCU newcomers, the Fantastic Four, and characters from Fox’s X-Men franchise. Avengers Endgame: Encore revealed Hulk, Mobius, Ouroboros, and more will also factor in.
The first of many Avengers: Doomsday trailers was released in December 2025, giving audiences their first look at Chris Evans’ return as Steve Rogers. Since then, Marvel Studios has dropped several more trailers that highlight the returning X-Men from the Fox era, along with The Fantastic Four, Thor, and more.

Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse – June 4, 2027
Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse‘s release date has been pushed back several times since it was first announced in 2021, but is currently slated for June 4, 2027. It is the first, and only, upcoming Marvel movie with a confirmed release date to sit outside the MCU’s continuity as it rounds out Sony’s animated Spider-Verse trilogy.
As the third installment of the trilogy, it is set to conclude Miles Morales’ multiverse-hopping adventures after Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse saw him trapped with a seemingly villainous variant of himself, the Prowler, in another universe. Meanwhile, Spider-Gwen leads the charge as a rebellious cohort of Spider-Variants prepares to rescue their friend, to the chagrin of Miguel O’Hara.
Specific story details are still under wraps as production meticulously forges ahead, with Sony no doubt striving to triple down on the dizzying critical and financial success of the trilogy’s first two installments. Justin K. Thompson and Bob Persichetti, who directed Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, respectively, are co-directing the third installment.
With how Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse ended, most, if not all, of the main cast from that movie are expected to return for Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. As yet, no new cast members have been confirmed to be joining the project as new characters.

Avengers: Secret Wars – December 17, 2027
![="Avengers:](http://static0.srcdn.com/worpress/wp/content/uploads//2025//11//avengers-secret-wars-logo.jpg?q==49&fit=crop&w==825&dpr==2""/){kind=logo}
Avengers: Secret Wars will release one year after Avengers: Doomsday, on December 17, 2027. This follows the same format as both previous installments but notably lacks any MCU movies announced to fill this gap like previous phases did during their climaxes.
The story details for this film remain sparse. However it is confirmed that Doctor Doom will remain as arch-villain while clues can be drawn from its comic run where Doom rules over Battleworld as its God Emperor.
This film will precede a now-confirmed reboot of MCU which may necessitate new actors in high-profile roles or follow comic book precedent where a new multiverse is created at its conclusion.
The Russo Brothers are returning to direct this film along with most cast members from Doomsday plus some new additions yet to be revealed. Filming has not yet commenced although production is expected to start soon according to comments made at SDCC 2026.
