Next Marvel Movies: Your Complete Guide to the MCU’s Future

If you’re wondering what Marvel has lined up next, here’s your straight-to-the-point answer: The upcoming Marvel slate includes Spider-Man: Brand New Day , an Untitled Punisher Special (mid‑2026, Disney+), Avengers: Doomsday , and Avengers: Secret Wars . That’s the core of the Phase Six roadmap, with more surprises likely around the corner.

Phase Six Films You Can’t Miss

Spider‑Man: Brand New Day

Release Date: July 31, 2026 (U.S.)
Details: Tom Holland returns with Zendaya and others. Rumors swirl around Peter Parker bonding with a symbiote and surprising crossovers with Daredevil, Hulk, and Punisher.

Avengers: Doomsday

Release Date: December 18, 2026
Premise: A massive crossover, with Avengers, Fantastic Four, X‑Men, and more uniting against Doctor Doom—now played by Robert Downey Jr. Directed by the Russo brothers.

Avengers: Secret Wars

Release Date: December 17, 2027
Significance: The grand finale of Phase Six and the Multiverse Saga, pulling together storylines from across the MCU.

Disney+ Highlights: TV That Matters

Daredevil: Born Again – Season 2

Release Date: March 4, 2026
Plot: Daredevil teams up with Jessica Jones to fight Wilson Fisk’s Af-Vigilante Task Force. Frank Castle also appears in the mix.

Untitled Punisher Special

Release Date: Mid‑2026, Disney+
Concept: A Marvel Studios Special Presentation starring Jon Bernthal as the Punisher. Continues directly from Daredevil: Born Again and filmed in New York in 2025.

Why These Picks Matter

These titles mark a return to bold, interconnected storytelling. In the wake of a sprawling Phase Four and Five, Marvel pivoted to regain focus. Kevin Feige even called Phase Six “the most focused phase” as the Multiverse Saga reaches its endgame.

The return of the Russo brothers and RDJ as Doom speaks to confidence in both fan favorites and complex story arcs.

And the Punisher special? It’s a no-frills pulse-pounding break from cosmic scale, showing Marvel still values grounded, edgy characters.

Quick Reference Table

What to Watch For Next

A potential Blade reboot is still unconfirmed but likely coming later—Marvel seems to be playing possum on this one.
Speculation surrounds untitled MCU films beyond 2027, possibly including Armor Wars, Shang-Chi 2, and an X‑Men reboot.
Disney+ will continue to surprise with special presentations, extending storytelling beyond theatrical lines.

Final Notes

Marvel’s roadmap for 2026–2027 is bold. At the heart is Avengers: Doomsday, making December 18, 2026, a pivot point for the entire Multiverse Saga. Spider-Man hits theaters mid-year, while TV keeps the action grounded with Daredevil and Punisher. It’s focused, ambitious, and—frankly—a bit unpredictable, which is a good thing.
