Marvel MCU release schedule 2026‑2028
Entities: Avengers: Doomsday · Marvel Studios · Marvel Cinematic Universe · Avengers: Endgame Encore · Avengers: Secret Wars
Overview
Marvel’s MCU rollout continues to span 2026‑2028. The studio confirmed **Avengers: Doomsday** will open on 18 December 2026, followed by a year‑long pause before **Avengers: Secret Wars** on 17 December 2027 – the only MCU film slated for 2027. At the Hall H panel of the 2026 San Diego Comic‑Con, Marvel said the gap is intentional, part of a “quality‑over‑quantity” strategy to avoid crowding the Avengers titles. Kevin Feige noted it will be the longest release hiatus in recent history and aligns with a 2024 policy limiting Marvel theatrical output to two or three films per year.
The 2028 slate will commence with **Ghost Rider**, now confirmed to star Ryan Gosling, and **Black Panther III**, featuring David Jonsson. Earlier 2026 announcements also included **Avengers: Endgame Encore** (25 September 2026), the Disney+ series **VisionQuest** (14 October 2026), and the animated series **Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider‑Man** season 2 slated for late 2026, with several other projects still TBA.
