Disney has updated its release calendar, delaying two Marvel films while locking in dates for two brand-new, still-mysterious entries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Right now, Marvel has a solid slate rolling through theaters with *Spider-Man: Brand New Day* and *Avengers: Doomsday* arriving in 2026. Then *Avengers: Secret Wars* is set to land in 2027, which is expected to be a massive turning point for the franchise.
Now comes the shake-up. One untitled Marvel movie that was previously scheduled for February 18, 2028, has been moved to July 28, 2028. Another mystery Marvel project that had been dated for November 10, 2028, has been completely removed from the release schedule.
However, Disney also confirmed two new Marvel release dates of May 4, 2029, and July 13, 2029. No titles have been revealed yet, which opens the door for a lot of speculation.
There are a few obvious candidates fans have been eagerly awaiting. A third *Black Panther* film, the long-gestating *Blade* reboot, Jake Schreier’s take on the *X-Men*, and *Midnight Sons* are all possibilities.
Of course, nothing has been confirmed, and Marvel tends to keep these reveals close to the chest until the timing feels right.
Moreover, there are other directions the studio could pursue. A sequel to *The Fantastic Four: First Steps*, a follow-up to *Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings*, *Armor Wars*, or even a *Young Avengers*/*Champions* project could easily fill those slots.
At this point, it’s all speculation, but that’s part of the excitement surrounding Marvel’s long-term plans.
*Avengers: Doomsday* and *Avengers: Secret Wars* are expected to reshape the MCU in ways fans probably won’t see coming. We do know that Joe Russo and Anthony Russo are returning to direct both films, building toward another significant cinematic reset.
*Doomsday* hits theaters on December 18, 2026, while *Secret Wars* follows on December 17, 2027. Whatever happens in those films will likely influence what these newly dated 2029 projects end up becoming.
For now, Marvel fans are left playing the guessing game.
