Marvel Studios has officially removed an untitled MCU film, originally scheduled for July 23, 2027, from its release calendar. This change leaves Avengers: Secret Wars as the only Marvel movie scheduled for 2027. It also signals a shift in the studio’s Phase 6 strategy. The decision highlights Marvel’s focus on streamlining its upcoming releases to ensure a cohesive buildup toward the Multiverse Saga finale.
2027 Release Schedule Updates
The removed project—rumored to be Black Panther 3 or Doctor Strange 3—was initially set to release in mid-2027. However, its slot will now be occupied by The Simpsons Movie 2 (Disney/20th Century) and Bad Fairies (Warner Bros.), while Superman: Man of Tomorrow retains its July 9, 2027 release date.
The updated MCU timeline for upcoming releases is:
- Spider-Man: Brand New Day – July 31, 2026
- Avengers: Doomsday – December 18, 2026
- Avengers: Secret Wars – December 17, 2027
The Russo Brothers will helm both Avengers films, ensuring a seamless continuation for the two-part Multiverse Saga finale.
Implications for the MCU Phase 6 Rollout
The removal of this untitled project suggests that Marvel Studios is streamlining its Phase 6 rollout. Consequently, certain character arcs may be postponed until after Avengers: Secret Wars, thereby allowing the studio to focus on its biggest cinematic event of the year.
Although the exact nature and impact of the removed film on the MCU remain unclear, this adjustment reflects Marvel’s ongoing strategy to align production schedules with long-term storytelling plans. Moreover, the shift may give writers additional time to refine storylines and ensure a cohesive narrative leading into the Multiverse Saga finale.
Fans of the MCU may experience mixed feelings about the removed film. On one hand, delaying or removing a movie could mean some eagerly anticipated character developments are postponed. However, focusing entirely on Avengers: Secret Wars could deliver a more polished, epic finale to the Phase 6 storyline. In addition, Marvel might use this change to introduce fresh characters or explore new multiverse possibilities in later films. As a result, speculation among fans is already running high, with theories ranging from alternate timelines to surprise crossovers that could reshape the MCU landscape after 2027.
