Might 2026 was going to kick-off the subsequent part of the Marvel cinematic universe with the return of Robert Downey Jr. as Physician Doom. Not anymore. Avengers: Doomsday has been delayed together with Secret Wars. Grand Theft Auto 6 will now have the month (largely) to itself, assuming it doesn’t get delayed once more as nicely.
Marvel pushed each of its upcoming blockbusters again by seven months. Avengers: Doomsday will now arrive on December 18, 2026, adopted the subsequent yr by Avengers: Secret Wars on December 17, 2027. Nameless sources informed Deadline the rationale for the delay got here all the way down to each motion pictures’ large scope and ambition. Spider-Man: Model New Day remains to be arriving in July of subsequent yr.
Each Avengers motion pictures are directed by the Russo Brothers, with Doomsday that includes cameos from the forged of the 2000s X-Males motion pictures.
