This week, Marvel Studios introduced some disappointing (although not completely sudden) information: Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars have each been hit with vital delays, with Doomsday now set to reach in theaters on December 18, 2026, and Secret Wars positioned for December 17, 2027.
Although Doomsday is now filming within the UK, a number of sources have reported that manufacturing commenced and not using a accomplished script, and insiders imagine these delays will “merely permit extra time to execute on a gargantuan imaginative and prescient.”
No one desires Marvel to hurry these large MCU occasion movies, however pushing their launch dates again by over six months will possible have wider repercussions, and we would not be shocked if some huge adjustments have been made to the tasks that have been initially alleged to arrange and comply with the occasions of those Avengers films.
For one, Spider-Man: Model New Day will now launch earlier than Doomsday (we had heard that it was initially going to function a bridge between each Avengers films), and if Secret Wars in certainly supposed to put the groundwork for the long-awaited X-Males reboot, we in all probability will not see the mutant heroes assemble on the large display till 2028 on the earliest.
Can we count on extra shake-ups? Here is what Jeff Sneider needed to say in his newest e-newsletter.
“Disney solely will get 25 p.c of the following Spider-Man film, and I’m advised that Disney’s Bob Iger will probably be very disenchanted if he solely will get one film (or 1.25 films) out of Marvel subsequent 12 months — on the very finish of the 12 months, no much less — even whether it is an Avengers film with the irresistible hook of Robert Downey Jr. buying and selling in his Iron Man armor to play Physician Doom.”
We’ll simply have to attend and see what bulletins come our means between now and SDCC. How do you’re feeling about these delays? Are you glad Marvel is taking extra time to makes these films the perfect they are often? Tell us within the feedback part.
Each Doomsday and Secret Wars will probably be directed by the Russo brothers, who additionally make their MCU return after helming Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil Battle, Avengers: Infinity Battle and Avengers: Endgame.
“With the ability to create tales and discover characters inside the Marvel Universe fulfilled a life-long dream of ours, and we found a robust reference to audiences in every movie that we made. We’re thrilled to collaborate as soon as once more with Kevin, Lou and all the Marvel group to convey this epic journey in storytelling to new and stunning locations for each the followers and ourselves”, mentioned The Russos in an announcement after the SDCC panel.
