Marvel Studios films dated for 2028
In this article
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), the shared film-and-TV continuity that Marvel Studios has built since 2008, is heading into its biggest stretch in years. In fact, the upcoming Marvel movies on the calendar include two Avengers team-ups in back-to-back Decembers, and the summer of 2026 already delivered a record-breaking Spider-Man film.
This guide lists every dated Marvel movie and Disney+ series in order of release date, as of October 24, 2026. Plus, it flags what is already out, where you can watch it, and which projects still have no date. We checked each date against trade reporting and official announcements, so you can plan movie nights without guesswork.
What Are the Upcoming Marvel Movies?
The upcoming Marvel movies with firm dates are Avengers: Doomsday (December 18, 2026), Avengers: Secret Wars (December 17, 2027), X-Men (May 5, 2028), Ghost Rider (July 28, 2028) and Black Panther 3 (December 15, 2028). Meanwhile, Sony’s animated Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse is set for June 18, 2027, outside MCU continuity.
Disney moved both Avengers films back by roughly seven months in May 2025. As Variety reported, Doomsday shifted from May 1, 2026, to December 18, 2026, while Secret Wars moved from May 7, 2027, to December 17, 2027. Since then, both dates have held, and Disney’s official Doomsday page still lists December 18, 2026.

Marvel Movies 2026: What Is Out and What Is Next
Marvel has two new movies in 2026: Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which opened July 31, and Avengers: Doomsday, which opens December 18. Brand New Day is already out, so Doomsday is the only new Marvel movie still ahead this year.
In addition, Marvel brought Avengers: Endgame back to theaters as Avengers: Endgame Encore on September 25, 2026, with new footage that leads into Doomsday.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day (out now)
Tom Holland’s fourth solo Spider-Man film became a historic hit. According to Box Office Mojo, it has earned about $958.5 million in the US and Canada and about $2.52 billion worldwide as of October 24, 2026. As a result, it passed Star Wars: The Force Awakens to become the highest-grossing film ever at the domestic box office.
- Released: July 31, 2026 (US)
- Director: Destin Daniel Cretton, who also made Shang-Chi
- Where to watch: digital rent or buy from October 6, 2026; 4K, Blu-ray and DVD reported for December 15
- Subscription streaming: not announced yet, because Sony, not Disney, distributes the film
Avengers: Doomsday (December 18, 2026)
Doomsday is the first of two Avengers films that end the Multiverse Saga, the story arc that began after Avengers: Endgame. Anthony and Joe Russo return to direct, and Robert Downey Jr. comes back, this time as the villain Doctor Doom rather than Tony Stark.
- Release: December 18, 2026, in theaters
- Directors: Anthony and Joe Russo
- Returning X-Men actors: Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn and James Marsden
- Tickets: on sale since July 2026, first for Infinity Vision theaters and then for standard showings
- Outside the US: Disney has not confirmed every international date, including India, as of October 24, 2026, so check your local theater listings
Pro tip. Opening weekend for an Avengers film sells out fast, especially premium formats. So if you want a specific seat or IMAX screen, buy now through your theater’s app or Fandango instead of waiting for December.
Marvel Movies 2027 List
Marvel Studios has one MCU movie dated for 2027: Avengers: Secret Wars on December 17. In addition, Sony’s Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse arrives June 18, 2027, so Marvel fans get two big-screen events next year.
Avengers: Secret Wars (December 17, 2027)
Secret Wars is the finale of the Multiverse Saga and the last film of Phase 6. The Russo brothers direct again. Beyond that, Marvel has kept plot details under wraps, so treat online cast lists for this one with caution until the studio confirms them.
- Release: December 17, 2027 (moved from May 7, 2027)
- Directors: Anthony and Joe Russo
- Role in the MCU: closes Phase 6 and the Multiverse Saga
Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse (June 18, 2027)
This is the third animated Spider-Verse film, which follows Miles Morales, a teenage Spider-Man from a different universe. It is a Sony Pictures Animation release rather than part of the MCU. However, it remains one of the most anticipated Marvel-character movies of 2027.
- Release: June 18, 2027
- Date history: first June 4, 2027, then June 25, then moved up to June 18
Which Marvel Movies Are Coming in 2028 and Beyond?
Three Marvel Studios films have 2028 dates: X-Men on May 5, Ghost Rider on July 28 and Black Panther 3 on December 15. Disney locked in all three during the summer of 2026, according to Variety.
| Marvel movie 2028 | Date | What we know |
|---|---|---|
| X-Men | May 5, 2028 | The first MCU film built around the mutant team |
| Ghost Rider | July 28, 2028 | Ryan Gosling stars; Shawn Levy directs; Jonathan Tropper wrote the script |
| Black Panther 3 | December 15, 2028 | Ryan Coogler returns; David Jonsson plays T’Challa’s son |
These three are the first Marvel movies after Avengers: Secret Wars. Marvel has not formally said which phase they belong to, so treat any “Phase 7” lists online as unofficial. Beyond 2028, Disney also holds two untitled Marvel dates, May 4 and July 13, 2029, as The Playlist reported.
Which Marvel movies still have no release date?
Blade, Shang-Chi 2 and Armor Wars remain in development without dates. Blade in particular has stalled for years, and Marvel removed its old November 2025 slot without a new date. Until the studio dates these films, assume none of them will arrive before 2029.
Watch out. Marvel dates shift often. For example, both Avengers films and the Spider-Verse sequel each moved at least once after their first announcement. Therefore, check back before you book travel or tickets around a 2027 or 2028 date.
What Is Marvel Phase 6?
Marvel Phase 6 is the final chapter of the MCU’s Multiverse Saga. It started with The Fantastic Four: First Steps in July 2025 and ends with Avengers: Secret Wars in December 2027.
Marvel groups its releases into numbered phases, which are batches of connected films and shows. Phase 6 brings in the Fantastic Four and sets up the clash with Doctor Doom. Then the two Avengers films pay it off.
| Phase 6 release | Type | Date |
|---|---|---|
| The Fantastic Four: First Steps | Film | July 25, 2025 |
| Eyes of Wakanda | Disney+ animated series | August 1, 2025 |

Marvel Releases Already Out in 2026 and Where to Stream Them
Six new Marvel releases have come out in 2026, and five of them stream on Disney+. The exception is Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which you can rent or buy digitally but cannot stream on a subscription service yet. In addition, the Avengers: Endgame Encore re-release hit theaters in September.
| Title | Released | Where to watch |
|---|---|---|
| Wonder Man | January 27, 2026 (all 8 episodes) | Disney+ |
| Daredevil: Born Again season 2 | March 24 to May 5, 2026 | Disney+ |
| The Punisher: One Last Kill | May 12, 2026 | Disney+ |
| X-Men ’97 season 2 | July 1, 2026 (9 episodes) | Disney+ |

Wonder Man, starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, dropped all eight episodes at once. By contrast, Daredevil season 2 rolled out weekly over about seven weeks. Then The Punisher: One Last Kill, an hour-long special with Jon Bernthal, followed a week after the Daredevil finale.
If you want even more to watch this week, our guide to the best Hulu shows in 2026 pairs well with a Disney+ bundle.
What Should You Watch Before Avengers: Doomsday?
Watch The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Thunderbolts* and Spider-Man: Brand New Day before Doomsday. Together, these three set up the newest heroes and the state of the MCU heading into the December release.
- Thunderbolts*: on Disney+ since August 27, 2025. It introduces the new team of antiheroes.
- The Fantastic Four: First Steps: on Disney+ since November 5, 2025. It is essential, because Doctor Doom is a Fantastic Four villain.
- Spider-Man: Brand New Day: digital rent or buy. It shows where Peter Parker stands before the crossover.
- Optional: the Fox-era X-Men films, since several of their stars return in Doomsday.
Short on time? Then prioritize First Steps. It is the most direct setup for the villain, and it streams with a standard Disney+ plan.
Our verdict
Of all the upcoming Marvel movies, Avengers: Doomsday on December 18, 2026, is the one to plan around, so book seats early. After that, Secret Wars caps the saga in December 2027, while 2028 shifts to fresh franchises with X-Men, Ghost Rider and Black Panther 3.
For streaming, start VisionQuest before its November 10 finale and catch up on Wonder Man and Daredevil season 2 before season 3 lands. Finally, rent Brand New Day if you missed it in theaters, since it now holds the domestic box office record.
