The Marvel universe has some big projects planned for the coming years, and superhero fans are ecstatic.

After the success of Avengers Infinity War and Avengers Endgame, the bar was set very high for the follow-up to the era of the intergalactic villain with the Infinity Stones, Thanos.

Marvel’s next goal was to make a splash with the character Kang, but Jonathan Majors’ legal problems put the brakes on the company’s momentum. Now it’s Dr. Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr. who has become Marvel’s great new antagonist.

Incidentally, Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars are scheduled for 2026 and 2027 respectively, but bad news has just broken, as Disney has announced.

According to the announcement, both films have been pushed back a few months, withAvengers: Doomsday scheduled for December 18, 2026, rather than May 1, 2026. And on the other hand, Avengers: Secret Wars is scheduled for December 17, 2027, rather than May 2, 2027.

So we’re talking about a 7-month delay for Marvel’s two long-awaited titles.

While this may sound disappointing, there’s definitely a valid reason for the postponement, so we’re bound to advocate patience in this situation. The product will clearly be better and better cast, that’s a given.

A number of actors have been lined up for the film, including Robert Downey Jr, Channing Tatum, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, James Marsden, Pedro Pascal, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan and Paul Rudd, to name but a few. The former X-Men will be back on screen, much to the delight of nostalgic fans.

Chris Evans may also reprise his role as Captain America, according to rumors, but this has yet to be confirmed.
