Avengers: Secret Wars Was Supposed to Be in Theaters Today

Today was once expected to mark the grand theatrical return of one of Disney’s most celebrated franchises. Originally, this date was meant for the release of Avengers: Secret Wars. Yet, in reality, fans are still waiting for the arrival of its predecessor, Avengers: Doomsday, which is more than a year away.

In another timeline, Marvel Studios had already launched one of its biggest films today. Back in 2022, during San Diego Comic-Con’s Hall H presentation, Marvel unveiled an ambitious roadmap for the years ahead. The studio showcased previews from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

Marvel Studios confirmed the news on social media:

Plans Changed

That once-distant release date has finally arrived, but the film hasn’t. Instead, Avengers: Secret Wars is now expected to premiere on December 17, 2027. The delay follows major changes within Marvel Studios, including the studio ending its collaboration with Jonathan Majors, who portrayed Kang. This decision forced a major restructuring of the storyline and future direction of the franchise.
