Marvel Scales Back Film Slate, Fans Eagerly Await "Avengers: Doomsday"
29 Jul
Summary
- Marvel Studios reduces feature film releases to 2-3 per year
- "Avengers: Doomsday" set for late 2026, with limited MCU projects in between
- "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" is the final 2025 Marvel film
As promised by Disney CEO Bob Iger last year, Marvel Studios has reduced its feature film output to only 2-3 releases per year. With the recent debut of "The Fantastic Four: First Steps," the 2025 Marvel Cinematic Universe lineup is now complete.
Looking ahead, the next major "Avengers" film, "Avengers: Doomsday," is scheduled to hit theaters on December 26, 2026. However, the period between now and then will see a relatively sparse release schedule, with only a few Marvel projects on the horizon.
On the Disney+ front, Season 1 of "Daredevil: Born Again" wrapped up in April, and "Ironheart" streamed in June. A handful of additional MCU TV shows are expected before the end of next year, but the focus seems to be on setting the stage for the highly anticipated "Avengers: Doomsday."
While the details of how this crossover event will unfold remain unclear, it's evident that Marvel Studios is taking a more measured approach to its content releases, prioritizing quality over quantity. Fans will have to wait patiently for the next major Marvel spectacle, but the studio's reduced slate suggests they are carefully crafting the narrative to deliver an epic conclusion to this phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
