Disney is pushing back the release dates of its next two “Avengers” movies. “Avengers: Doomsday” is now slated to hit theaters Dec. 18, 2026, and “Avengers: Secret Wars” will be released Dec. 17, 2027. Both films were previously planned for May in their respective years.

Avengers: Doomsday is pushing back its release date in theaters from May 1, 2026 to Dec. 18, 2026, while Avengers: Secret Wars will now open Dec. 17, 2027 instead of May 7, 2027. Disney, however, isn’t giving up the coveted start-of-summer-slot in 2026 and has set 20th Century’s The Devil Wears Prada 2 to take Doomsday ‘s date and open May 1.

Avengers: Doomsday has officially been pushed to a Christmas 2026 release as production is delayed on the eagerly anticipated blockbuster. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film will now be released on 18 December 2026 instead of the planned date of 1 May 2026.
