Marvel Unveils New Release Schedule Following ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ Success, Revitalizes MCU
Marvel Studios and Kevin Feige have reignited the Marvel Cinematic Universe, unveiling a slate of upcoming releases with confirmed dates.
“Deadpool and Wolverine” has been an extraordinary success for Marvel Studios, grossing over $800 million at the box office and nearing last year’s blockbuster “Barbie.” Following the announcement of Robert Downey Jr.’s return as Dr. Doom, Disney and Marvel’s head, Kevin Feige, have accelerated their plans, adjusting the release dates of several anticipated and iconic productions. With their sights set on “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Avengers: Secret Wars,” here are the release dates for Marvel’s new projects.
Marvel Announces New Release Schedule Post ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ Success, Boosting MCU with Quality Films
Marvel has faced challenges with “Blade,” a film plagued by development issues and seemingly doomed to fail, but Feige and his team are fighting to save it. Despite numerous setbacks over the years, the film remains scheduled for release in 2025. This optimistic timeline is notable, given the production’s troubled history, but it appears to be on track for the big screen. The progress in the script is a promising sign.
Additionally, a previously scheduled release for July 24, 2026, has been removed, sparking curiosity about which title will fill that slot in the future. In its place, Marvel has reserved two new dates for yet-to-be-identified releases on July 23 and November 5, 2027, maintaining an air of mystery around these potential projects.
It is likely that one of these mysterious films will be “Spider-Man 4,” a co-production with Sony. Details remain scarce, but it is expected to be another massive cinematic event. The current schedule is as follows:
- “Captain America: Brave New World” on February 14, 2025
- “Thunderbolts” on May 2, 2025
- “Fantastic Four: First Steps” on July 25, 2025
- “Blade” on November 7, 2025
- Untitled Marvel film on February 13, 2026
- “Avengers: Doomsday” on May 1, 2026
- “Avengers: Secret Wars” on May 7, 2027
- Untitled Marvel film on July 23, 2027
- Untitled Marvel film on November 5, 2027
The rest of Marvel’s scheduled releases remain unchanged, retaining their established dates. This results in a packed release calendar, averaging three films per year through 2027, ensuring a steady flow of adventures and superheroes on the big screen for fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
