“the success they’ve had in the holiday corridor with titles like Spider-Man: No Way Home.”<\/strong><\/p>\nThere’s certainly something to be said for making Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars holiday event movies, particularly as the Star Wars and Avatar franchises grossed billions worldwide\u00a0over the holidays. Even DC’s Aquaman was a $1 billion hit when it splashed down into theaters in 2018.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After the highs of Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: No Way Home, Marvel Studios’ Phases 5 and 6 have delivered\u00a0uneven projects like Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania and Captain America: Brave New World. It’s apparent\u00a0the studio\u2019s been struggling to recapture that Infinity War-era magic, and quality takes time.<\/p>\n
An argument could be made that pushing these movies back signals confidence, not panic. If anything, it’s\u00a0Kevin Feige\u00a0saying, “We’re not cutting corners,”\u00a0and if the Russos and Robert Downey Jr.\u00a0can stick the landing, this could be the franchise’s\u00a0biggest comeback since Iron Man kicked the MCU off in 2008. We’ll see.<\/p>\n
Avengers: Doomsday\u00a0stars Chris Hemsworth,\u00a0Anthony Mackie,\u00a0Winston Duke,\u00a0Tom Hiddleston, Sebastian Stan, Letitia Wright, Paul Rudd, and\u00a0Robert Downey Jr.\u00a0Wyatt Russell,\u00a0Simu Liu, Tenoch Huerta Mejia,\u00a0Florence Pugh,\u00a0Danny Ramirez,\u00a0David Harbour,\u00a0Hannah John-Kamen,\u00a0and\u00a0Lewis Pullman all make the\u00a0Avengers\u00a0franchise debuts in the movie.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So do\u00a0The Fantastic Four: First Steps\u00a0leads Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and\u00a0Joseph Quinn, with\u00a0X-Men\u00a0franchise stars Kelsey Grammer, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, and\u00a0Channing Tatum set to join them.<\/p>\n
Avengers: Doomsday\u00a0is set to be released on\u00a0May 1 2026, with\u00a0Avengers: Secret Wars\u00a0scheduled\u00a0to arrive on\u00a0May 7, 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yesterday evening, we learned\u00a0that Avengers: Doomsday has been moved from May 1, 2026, to December 18, 2026.
