Marvel pulls 2026 film from release schedule

A previously planned entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe It’s not happening as originally scheduled.

Disney and Wonderful announced a number of changes to its upcoming release schedule today. Among the changes it announced was the news that Marvel was no longer planning to release a film on July 24, 2026. The company never confirmed what title they had planned for that date, but whatever it is, it won’t be happening.

Marvel has set release dates for two as-yet-undisclosed projects in 2027: one on July 23 and another on November 5.

Even with that movie skipping the calendar, Marvel has plenty of big titles coming in the next few years. Here’s their release schedule:

• Captain America: Brave New World – February 14, 2025
• Good heavens* – May 2, 2025
• Fantastic Four: Getting Started – July 25, 2025
• Blade – November 7, 2025
• Avengers: Judgement Day – May 1, 2026
• Avengers: Secret Wars – May 7, 2027

If these most recent schedule changes hold, it would mean Marvel would release just one movie in 2026: the newly announced Avengers: Judgement Daywhich will feature the return of Robert Downey Jr. to the MCU, but three films in 2027. They currently have four films scheduled for 2025, a high number for the studio, though given the number of delays and behind-the-scenes issues with BladeIt seems far from certain that the film will go as originally planned.

The last time Marvel released two movies back to back Avengers sequels, they actually released two more MCU movies in between: in the break between Infinity War and Game overThey also released Ant-Man and the Wasp and Captain MarvelBoth became fairly major hits that were probably helped at the box office by the immense curiosity surrounding the resolution of Infinity WarMarvel’s cliffhanger ending was spectacular. But at the time, Marvel wasn’t making TV series for Disney+ either.
