Disney is pushing back the release dates of its next two “Avengers” movies. “Avengers: Doomsday” is now slated to hit theaters Dec. 18, 2026, and “Avengers: Secret Wars” will be released Dec. 17, 2027. Both films were previously planned for May in their respective years.

Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe are probably disappointed that Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars have been delayed, but both films should benefit as a result. According to Deadline, Disney/Marvel Studios decided it would be best to push the films back considering their massive scope and scale.

Disney has pushed “ Avengers: Doomsday ” to December 18, 2026 from its original release date of May 1, 2026. That slot will now be filled by “ The Devil Wears Prada 2.” “Avengers: Secret Wars” also received a similar shift, moving from May 7, 2027 to December 17, 2027.
