First, four movies in one year (2025) is a lot (but doable), but more accurately Blade has a bunch of problems getting ready so it isn’t happening on that date.
That leaves 2026 pretty open. We had two films between Infinity War and Endgame, one a flashback and one a setup.
Shang Chi 2 is waiting and I put it between Doomsday and Secret Wars.
We also have Spider-Man waiting, but he’s done the Multiverse stuff so I would bet he is out of this story.
Armor Wars is the last film waiting, but it’s also been a TV show at some points. I’m not counting on it.
I wouldn’t be super surprised if we find a way to get a new Doctor Strange with Wanda somehow. The Multiverse is over after secret wars so we could use Strange to help wrap things up. I think the Agatha Harkness show is going to set up Wanda’s return, so a new Doctor Strange + Clea + Wanda + Agatha would be fun.
Finally out new untitled movies are definitely mutant movies. I don’t know who will be first but that’s what those placeholders are.
Thats Thunderbolts* with an asterisk ;)
I wonder why they haven’t taken Blade off their slate yet, it’s guaranteed to not make that date.
I assume at least one movie in February 2026 will be needed to setup Doomsday – or will this new generation of Avengers only be formed in that very Avengers movie?
Re Blade it seems like Blade is extra important to Feige. D23 is around the corner so we might get an update then but I expect it’s going to get a quiet bump. Not announced and when asked about it later he’ll say it’s still in development.
Re setup, yeah I’m not sure if Shang Chi or Doctor Strange will be the setup film. The original Avengers had them all get together in that same film, so it could happen here as well.
If I had to guess, a tease will happen at the end of Fantastic Four, Doctor Strange will get involved as a setup, Doomsday, then Shang Chi will get pulled in.
Doctor Strange literally ended with “oh no, incursions!” so I don’t see how DS3 comes out after Secret Wars.
It’s more a question of does he get a whole movie or just show up. I assume a whole movie but who knows.
Doctor Strange 1 ended with a setup that didn’t seem to go anywhere with Mordo taking away powers, but maybe it will loop back around to 3.
Bringing Wanda back is so funny, like she hasnt left as in the story hasnt progressed since so coming back is the same Strange coming back.
I do agree it’s a little fast but I think we’re speedrunning to mutants and Secret Wars is fast approaching, after which the multiverse is closed for business.
It’s especially weird when you look at how much happens between Strange 1 & 2, infinity war & endgame are big doctor strange movies, if you only watched those you’d be missing A LOT of context.
Secret Wars Battleworld
Secret Wars Everything LivesDoes Thunderbolts being in the May slot mean they’re confident that this can be their summer blockbuster? I’m pretty excited if that’s the case, mostly because it has great actors and I have no idea what the movie will be about.
I assume Fantastic Four being in the July slot makes that the blockbuster.
Ah, I thought the May slot was the “bigger” one (like all the Avengers films previously). 2 movies in the same summer is a lot though, especially with the high expectation of Fantastic Four
The May slot is still definitely a big one too.
You’re right about July being smaller historically for Marvel, they haven’t really used the late July slot.
I think of it as big since last year that slot had Barbie & Oppenheimer.
