Doomsday

The Avengers will assemble again. However, it will be at a later date.

Disney has delayed the releases of Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. Doomsday moves from May 1, 2026, to December 18, 2026. Secret Wars heads to December 17, 2027, instead of May 7, 2027.

Disney was not done with Marvel announcements. The studio also removed three Marvel dates from its calendar: February 13, 2026; November 6, 2026; and November 5, 2027. The February date has no replacement movie, while the two November offerings are now slotted as untitled Disney films.

Only four MCU movies in Phase Six have release dates:

The Fantastic Four: First Steps – July 25, 2025
Spider-Man: Brand New Day – July 31, 2026
Avengers: Doomsday – December 18, 2026
Avengers: Secret Wars – December 17, 2027

With Doomsday moving to December, Marvel will have a year between The Fantastic Four and Spider-Man: Brand New Day. It’s Marvel’s longest theatrical movie gap since 2019’s Spider-Man: Far From Home and 2021’s Black Widow. COVID-19 played a factor in that break from 2019 to 2021.

Disney still has a few release dates with untitled Marvel movies scheduled. July 23 is the only 2027 release besides Secret Wars. 2028 features a trio of movies on February 18, May 5, and November 10.

Disney CEO Bob Iger has now implemented a quality-over-quantity approach with Marvel projects. In May 2024, Iger said on an earnings call that going forward, Marvel will only release about two to three movies and two TV shows per year.

Marvel is betting the house on Doomsday and Secret Wars, so the Russo Brothers getting more time to deliver these two tentpoles makes sense. These two Avengers films will transition the MCU into the Mutant Era, where the X-Men will play a prominent role.

Filming on Avengers: Doomsday is underway. Marvel announced the Doomsday cast in March via live stream that ended with Robert Downey Jr. walking into frame. Downey will play the film’s villain, Doctor Doom.

Marvel currently has Thunderbolts* in theaters everywhere. The movie has grossed over $331 million worldwide in three weeks.

The Marvel fan who snuck onto the set of Avengers: Doomsday and shared a now-viral video has now received a formal warning from the MCU, according to their latest update.

It’s no surprise that details surrounding Avengers: Doomsday are being kept tightly under wraps, although we do know the upcoming MCU movie will bring together every superhero but the kitchen sink for an Endgame-style battle.

What’s more, Robert Downey Jr. will be returning to the franchise, only as Doctor Doom instead of Tony Stark. However, with filming taking place in London, UK, as we speak, one fan managed to break onto the set.

Operating under the handle @theyneversawitcomingg, they shared a video of the set on TikTok, which quickly went viral. When it was removed, they reuploaded it to Instagram, and now Marvel has reportedly stepped in.

On Wednesday (May 21), the leaker added an Instagram Story to their account, stating, “Received my first ‘formal threat’. I might be cooked.” Marvel has yet to publicly comment on the situation, although it wouldn’t be surprising if the studio had taken action.

In the bio, they also wrote, “Video got removed, posting on Instagram.” It’s received hundreds of comments, with fellow fans warning them to be cautious.

“If it’s real, be careful, they can sue you and you know it,” said one, while another wrote, “Bro is getting sued to pieces.”

A third added, “Yeah Kevin fiege is definitely going to come find you,” and a fourth chimed in, “Yeah you’re cooked buddy.”

As well as the video, which showed a bar situated in the Marvel location of Madripoor, the user shared what appeared to be a blueprint of the home of Annie Reynolds – the mother of Thunderbolts’ Bob Reynolds. However, this appears to have been removed.

Although many of the comments are tongue-in-cheek, leaking footage from a Marvel set can carry serious legal consequences. Disney and Marvel Studios are notoriously protective of their intellectual property, and leaking unreleased content could land a person in court.

Depending on how the footage was obtained, the individual could face criminal trespassing charges, copyright infringement claims, or even civil suits over the disclosure of confidential material.

This wouldn’t be the first time Marvel has pursued leakers. In 2023, the studio filed a DMCA subpoena against Reddit to uncover the identity of users who leaked dialogue from Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania ahead of release.

In a similar incident, The Expendables 3 was leaked online weeks before its debut, prompting Lionsgate to sue the anonymous uploaders for damages, claiming it impacted the movie’s box office performance. Whether Marvel or Disney will escalate this new case beyond a warning remains to be seen.

Avengers: Doomsday lands in cinemas on May 1, 2026. Until then, read everything we know about Avengers: Secret Wars, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and check out our ranking of every MCU movie.
