Doomsday has been delayed by seven months, but the extra time is more of a blessing than a setback. Arriving seven years after Avengers: Endgame, Phase 6's first crossover film marks the return of MCU directors Joe and Anthony Russo,

Avengers: Doomsday is pushing back its release date in theaters from May 1, 2026 to Dec. 18, 2026, while Avengers: Secret Wars will now open Dec. 17, 2027 instead of May 7, 2027. Disney, however, isn’t giving up the coveted start-of-summer-slot in 2026 and has set 20th Century’s The Devil Wears Prada 2 to take Doomsday ‘s date and open May 1.

However, Disney has now announced that both films will be delayed to new release dates.
