A Detailed Look at Every Upcoming MCU Movie and TV Series

IF YOU’RE A fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe—if you’ve stuck around all the way to this point—it’s fair to assume one thing: you probably want more. After The Infinity Saga—the first 22 movies in the franchise—came to a conclusion in Avengers: Endgame, the next era of Marvel storytelling took a slight delay after the release of Spider-Man: Far From Home because of the whole Covid-19 thing. But Marvel Studios got things back on track in 2021, continuing its pace until things came to a slowdown in 2024, when only one film was released. That pace won’t last for long, though.

The current era of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is referred to as “Phase 6,” and while the seeds of the overarching story are still being slowly planted and plotted, it’s clear that the multiverse is still playing a big part of things.

We also know that Marvel Studios, and its fearless leader and President Kevin Feige, are extremely meticulous. There are the movies and shows we know about, that have been publicly announced, and then there are the movies and shows they’re working on, that will exist in the shadows and rumors only. One example: we all know the X-Men are coming to the MCU sooner or later. How, is anyone’s guess. But not a single mutant-centered project has yet been announced.

Anyway, that’s enough speculation. Here’s the complete list of upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe movies and TV shows—that we know of.

Upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe Movies

Spider-Man: Brand New Day

July 31, 2026

The fourth-movie in Tom Holland’s Spider-Man run—and the fourth standalone Spidey movie in Sony and Marvel’s experiment in sharing the character—will come in July 2026 with a new director, Destin Daniel Crettin (of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings fame) in tow. We don’t know anything more about the movie other than that! Well, if you saw the web-slinger’s last adventure, No Way Home, you know that the world has forgotten about Peter Parker thanks to a Doctor Strange spell, and that he’s now living the schlubby Manhattan life always meant for Spider-Man.

The rest is anyone’s guess, though we do have a couple hints. New cast members for Brand New Day include Sadie Sink (of Stranger Things fame) and Liza Colón-Zayas (of The Bear fame). We also know that Zendaya and Jacob Batalon (MJ and Ned) will return, though it’s not clear how big or small their roles will be. Perhaps most notably, we know that Jon Bernthal will be a part of the film as The Punisher, perhaps indicating that this will be a true street-level Spider-Man story, and we’ll leave the multiverse stuff in the dust.
Beyond that, who knows? Will Peter link up with Daredevil? Will we meet a Norman or Harry Osborn? Hopefully we get a little more sense of where things are going with a poster, or trailer, or something along those lines soon.

Avengers: Doomsday

December 18, 2026

Formerly known as Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. As of July 2024—and a particularly surprising San Diego Comic Con panel from Marvel Studios—this movie is now known as Avengers: Doomsday, will be directed by a returning Joe and Anthony Russo, and will feature, drum roll please… Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom. Yep, we’re just as confused as you are.

Anyway, though, this movie will of course be massive, and will almost certainly feature all sorts of multiverse-hopping shenanigans with countless heroes from the MCU. We know for certain that The Fantastic Four will be involved. And we’re eagerly waiting to hear any other details.

Avengers: Secret Wars

May 7, 2027

The second part of Marvel’s next huge, two-part Avengers extravaganza is Avengers: Secret Wars, which is the name of two notable comic runs. One, from the ’80s, was written by former Marvel EIC Jim Shooter and was largely a genius ploy to sell toys. The other, written in 2016 by writer Jonathan Hickman, is a multiversal epic that heavily features Fantastic Four characters like Reed Richards and Doctor Doom.

This movie is now scheduled, as you can see, all the way out in May 2027. Will we even be alive in 2027? Is there anything we can predict about anything? Will we ever see the X-Men? Who—and I cannot reiterate this enough—the hell knows. But Joe and Anthony Russo will be returning to direct, and The Fantastic Four are confirmed to be appearing.

X-Men

TBA

We don’t have a ton of details for the MCU’s forthcoming X-Men movie (and it will certainly come after Secret Wars), but we know that Thunderbolts* director Jake Schreier will be directing. Considering Thunderbolts* was the best MCU movie in a couple of years, that’s definitely a good sign.

Blade

TBA

Marvel’s big announcement at the end of San Diego Comic Con 2019 was that—eventually—Blade, the Vampire hunter, would be joining the MCU. And he would be played by two-time Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali. A very very big deal, and truly incredible casting.

Now, the movie is likely still a ways away—but it is coming. Marvel previously hired Watchmen writer Stacy Osei-Kuffour to write the script, and Bassam Tariq to direct, but both eventually fell off. The next director on board was Yann Demange, who has also since fallen off. The script has gone through lots of turmoil already, which we won’t get into too much here, but the last we heard is that Logan‘s Michael Green (who was behind last year’s fantastic Blue Eye Samurai on Netflix) is working on it, and it’s going to be an R-rated flick—which is vital. But there have been no announcements in a while. Can we get this movie made?

The cast has gone through some serious turmoil as well, and while some other names have been attached, the only one we know for sure to still be involved alongside Ali is MaXXXine star (and modern horror legend) Mia Goth—whose turns in Ti West’s X and Pearl and Brandon Cronenberg’s Infinity Pool seemed to initially land her what is likely a villain role here.

Armor Wars

TBA

The MCU project centered on Jim Rhodes (Don Cheadle) was announced to be switching from a Disney+ series to a feature film—but we still don’t know when it’s coming out (if ever).

Upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe TV Series

Daredevil: Born Again season 2

TBA 2026

Marvel made a lot of fans very happy when they announced at SDCC 2022 that the Daredevil hero and villain team of Charlie Cox (as Matt Murdock/Daredevil) and Vincent D’Onofrio (as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin) would be returning for Daredevil: Born Again, likely based on the comic arc of the same name. They made those same fans even more excited when they announced that it would be 18 episodes long; it makes sense that Marvel is experimenting with format now a few years into the Disney+ era.

One problem, though—Marvel totally scrapped the first few episodes they produced, firing the writing and directing teams and starting over. Clearly, something wasn’t working. A new team is now in place, and season 1 (which came out in March 2025) is a mix of work from the new and old teams. The show eventually settled into being a soft reboot of the beloved Netflix-produced series, moving the action to a new place and introducing a new story, but also bringing back some old characters and dynamics (including Jon Bernthal as The Punisher). Season 2, which will follow up on the intense events of the first season’s finale, should be out next year and a lot more consistent with the new creative team’s vision.

Eyes of Wakanda

August 1, 2025

This one comes from producer Ryan Coogler, and it should fit in neatly with his two Black Panther movies, of course.

Wonder-Man

December 2025

All we know about Marvel’s upcoming Wonder-Man series is that the titular character—aka Simon Williams, an actor—will be played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, who you’ve likely seen in The Matrix Resurrections, Aquaman, Candyman, or his Emmy-winning role in HBO’s Watchmen. Wonder-Man is a character who in the Marvel Comics is strongly intertwined with both Wanda Maximoff and Vision, so there’s a reasonable chance that we could see Elizabeth Olsen and/or Paul Bettany in this series. Ben Kinglsey will also be returning as Trevor Slattery (from Iron Man 3 and Shang-Chi) and James Ponsoldt (The End of the Tour, Shrinking) will be directing.

Abdul-Mateen II actually has already begun promoting the series, appearing in character as Simon Williams at The Fantastic Four: First Steps‘s premiere:

The Punisher Special Presentation

TBD 2026

After his appearance in Daredevil: Born Again and forthcoming role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the MCU seems to be capitalizing on Jon Bernthal’s inherent charisma and star power and going all in on The Punisher. He’ll also appear in what should be a brutal, hour-long, one-off special presentation (like Werewolf by Night) that focuses on a Frank Castle adventure. It’s currently filming, so we’ll likely see this at some point in 2026.

Vision Quest

TBD (2026?)

Speaking of Paul Bettany, he will be getting his own WandaVision sequel series, titled Vision Quest. Based on how WandaVision concluded, we can take a leap and assume that this series will at least somewhat center on White Vision out in the world trying to regain his memories and become the hero he once was (or, you know, go live in some robot peace somewhere. It’s much deserved).

Would be nice if this tied into Agatha All Along too!
