It looks like Avengers: Secret Wars will be the only Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movie in 2027, as Kevin Feige has promised that Marvel Studios is committed to “focusing on quality.”
When Marvel stepped off the Hall H stage at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) 2026, attendees in-person and at home were surprised to see Feige’s crew come and go without mentioning any additional 2027 projects. Those keeping their MCU movie calendar updated will note that leaves the dates between Avengers: Doomsday’s premiere on December 18, 2026, and Secret Wars’ premiere on December 17, 2027, completely vacant.
It’s a 12-month drought – one of Marvel Studios’ longest ever – as the superhero universe paves the way for a potentially universe-ending conclusion to Phase Six late next year. In an interview with Empire, the Marvel Studios boss clarified that the studio has a good reason for leaving its post-Doomsday schedule open.
“A lot of it is a strategy we’ve talked about for a while, of focusing on quality,” Feige explained. “We always try to focus on quality, but when quantity is so much, you get spread thin. We didn’t want to be spread thin, and the Avengers is as important as it comes.”
It’s an update to the Marvel Studios strategy it’s talked about in the past. Viewers have spent the 2020s attributing their “superhero fatigue” to a release schedule that has previously seen as many as four movies released in a single calendar year (and that doesn’t count all of the TV shows). To help ease the pressure, Disney announced in 2024 that it would be slowing down its releases to just two or three movies, and two TV shows per year.
