Upcoming New Marvel Movies for 2025 and Beyond: Release Dates for Phase 6

Executive producer Brad Winderbaum confirmed with IGN that Season 3 has also been greenlit. Production on Season 3 will begin in 2026, with the episodes likely hitting Disney+ in either 2027 or 2028. There’s no word yet on whether Season 3 will continue the Mayor Fisk storyline or move in a different direction.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day (July 31, 2026)

Tom Holland confirmed he’s donning the red and blue tights once again for a fourth live-action Spider-Man movie set in the MCU. The sequel will begin filming in Summer 2025 for a July 2026 release. Shang-Chi’s Destin Daniel Cretton is directing this time around. We don’t know much about the plot of the fourth movie yet, though Holland teased that the latest script “really lit a fire in me.”

As for future solo films, during Spider-Man: No Way Home’s press tour, producer Amy Pascal said that the thinking is that there will be at least three more Spider-Man films starring Tom Holland. It should be noted, however, that has not yet been confirmed by Sony or Marvel.

X-Men ’97: Season 2 (Summer 2026) & Season 3 (Date TBD)

The first season of X-Men ’97, the revival of the original X-Men: The Animated Series from the 1990s, continued right where that storyline left off. Original voice actors from the first show returned to their characters, including Wolverine’s Cal Dodd, Rogue’s Lenore Zann, Beast’s George Buza, and more. The show was well-received by fans and will be back for at least two more seasons.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man: Season 2 (Fall 2026) & Season 3 (Date TBD)

With Season 1 concluding in February, 2025, after featuring the likes of Charlie Cox’s Daredevil, Dr. Octavius, Chameleon, Speed Demon, Scorpion, Butane the Pyromaniac, Harry Osborn, Amadeus Cho, and many other familiar faces, a second and third season of the show have been confirmed to be in the works.

Avengers: Doomsday (December 18, 2026)

The particulars of this film were in flux after Marvel has parted ways with Jonathan Majors in the wake of his being found guilty of assault and harassment. Will his character, Kang the Conqueror, continue to appear in the MCU in some way? It seems unlikely. Originally called Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, we learned at San Diego Comic-Con 2024 that the next Avengers film is now called Avengers: Doomsday, and it will feature the return of Robert Downey, Jr. himself as Doctor Doom (somehow)! Avengers: Secret Wars will bring an end to The Multiverse Saga and Phase 6 of the MCU a year later.

In March 2025, Marvel revealed the full Doomsday cast via a livestream, with surprises including Channing Tatum’s Gambit and a number of other fan-favorite X-Men. Following Marvel’s latest delay, Avengers 5 will be released in theaters on December 18, 2026.

Vision Quest TV Series (2026)

Deadline reported in October, 2022, that a WandaVision spin-off called Vision Quest was in the works with a writers room opening up. The possibility of Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) showing up on the Vision show was not ruled out in the report. Star Trek: Picard showrunner Terry Matalas will oversee the Paul Bettany-led series, which is now expected to release in 2026.

The Punisher Marvel TV Special (2026)

Jon Bernthal’s Punisher has been introduced to the MCU proper as part of Daredevil: Born Again, but that won’t be the last time we see him. Marvel is currently developing a standalone special featuring the character, in the vein of the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special and Werewolf By Night. Bernthal is writing the special alongside We Own This City’s Reinaldo Marcus Green.

Avengers: Secret Wars (December 17, 2027)

Avengers: Secret Wars will mark the end of both Phase 6 of the MCU and the entire Multiverse Saga that encompasses Phases 4, 5, and 6. It will arrive almost exactly a year after Avengers: Doomsday on December 17, 2027. It will also be the big screen adaptation of the beloved Secret Wars comic run that saw the Avengers, Fantastic Four, and X-Men team up to stop an unimaginable threat.

Blade (Date TBD)

Blade will be returning to the big screen, starring Mahershala Ali… or at least we hope he will. The thing is, besides a quick voice cameo in Eternals, we have yet to learn anything more about Ali’s Blade. Marvel originally revealed a November 3, 2023 release date at SDCC 2022. Since then, however, the film has pushed back to February 14, 2025, as production reportedly halted due to Ali’s dissatisfaction with the script and the departure of director Bassam Tariq. The date then shifted to November 7, 2025, and most recently the film was reported to be taken off the release calendar. But Marvel boss Kevin Feige says they’re still working on the film, which after some back and forth, will now be set in the modern-day.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings 2 (Date TBD)
