Marvel is gearing up for an exciting transformation as it approaches a new Avengers duology, marking the end of its recent, turbulent era in cinema. While 2025 might introduce three MCU movies alongside a range of TV projects, the release schedule for 2026 and 2027 shrinks to just four films post-Fantastic Four: First Steps. However, after the dust settles from Secret Wars, Marvel Studios is ready to ramp things back up.
According to Variety, Disney has slated an untitled fourth Marvel release for December 15, 2028. This film will join other untitled projects set for February, May, and November of that same year. As we look ahead, it’s hard to imagine a future filled with four unnamed films, especially in a year that feels unusually distant.
The current commitment indicates a renewed strategy for Marvel after a few years of grappling with the consequences of an overly ambitious release schedule post-Infinity War. The studio seems poised to increase output again once Avengers: Secret Wars premieres in December 2027, paving the way for the seventh phase of the MCU.
What to Expect in the Near Future
While we have some exciting developments on the horizon, the immediate future will remain relatively quiet. After First Steps debuts next month, the next MCU installment will be Spider-Man: Brand New Day scheduled for July 2026, followed by Avengers: Doomsday later that same year. The following year, 2027, mirrors this pattern with another untitled project anticipated in July and Secret Wars slated for December. Additionally, exciting streaming content is in development, like new seasons of X-Men ’97 and Daredevil: Born Again, among other series. Expect a wealth of Marvel content, albeit primarily on your screens at home for now.
Which Films Could Arrive in 2028?
As we speculate about the 2028 films, it’s plausible that one will mark the long-awaited introduction of the X-Men into the MCU. With Thunderbolts director Jake Schreier attached, fans are hopeful for a fresh take on the beloved mutants. Also in the pipeline is Black Panther 3, which could contribute to this intriguing lineup. Furthermore, Variety’s report hints at a sequel to Fantastic Four: First Steps, making it likely we’ll see Marvel’s iconic family again in 2028.
Could we also finally see a revival of Blade? With Mahershala Ali in the lead, fans remain optimistic about its future.
What are Marvel’s plans for the future? Marvel appears determined to reinvigorate its franchise after a slow phase, hinting at a busy slate ahead once 2028 rolls around. Watching this transition unfold promises excitement for dedicated followers.
