All 17 Upcoming Marvel Movies & TV Shows (2026, 2027, & Beyond)

Recently, Marvel Studios hasn’t been as busy as usual when announcing new projects (probably because of the new approach by its president, Kevin Feige). That’s why there are only three MCU movies with confirmed release dates at the moment. Still, there are plenty of announced TV shows and MCU movies that have not yet set release dates. So, with that said, let’s look at all of the upcoming Marvel movies and shows that will be released (soon).

Editor’s Note: This list was updated in July 2026, after the release of Punisher: One Last Kill, and reflects the most recent changes and news revealed during SDCC.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day (July 31, 2026)

Spider-Man: Brand New Day has been in development since shortly after Spider-Man: No Way Home, with Marvel Studios and Sony confirming Tom Holland’s return and eventually naming Destin Daniel Cretton as director.

The film follows Peter Parker’s fresh start after the events of No Way Home, drawing inspiration from the Marvel Comics storyline Brand New Day, while introducing new cast members including Sadie Sink, Jon Bernthal as The Punisher, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner, and the returning Michael Mando as Scorpion.

Although Sink’s role remains a closely guarded secret, fan theories have linked her to characters like Jean Grey, Jackpot, and Firestar. The movie is expected to focus on Peter rebuilding his life in New York while facing street-level threats, and is set to release before Avengers: Doomsday in the MCU timeline.

Avengers: Endgame Encore (September 25, 2026)

Marvel Studios has announced that ‘Avengers: Endgame’ will return to theaters on September 25 ahead of ‘Avengers: Doomsday.’ The special re-release will include brand-new footage teasing the upcoming film. Kevin Feige said the goal is to let fans relive the excitement of seeing ‘Endgame’ together in theaters before the next Avengers event arrives.

Avengers: Doomsday (December 18, 2026)

Avengers: Doomsday began development as Avengers: The Kang Dynasty before Marvel replaced the creative team, bringing back Anthony and Joe Russo as directors and renaming the film at San Diego Comic-Con 2024.

Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther movies have been very successful, especially the first one, which broke many box office records. In that regard, Coogler was reported to be developing a series that will revolve around Wakanda. And this was part of an overall deal between Coogler and Disney.

Things are unclear about the movie and how it will fall into place in the grander scheme of things in the MCU. But what we do know is that the series will be set in Wakanda and is likely going to follow familiar characters that we’ve already met in the past.w

Shang-Chi 2

Development on Shang-Chi 2 began in December 2021, with Destin Daniel Cretton returning to write and direct and Simu Liu expected to reprise his role as Shang-Chi. The sequel was delayed as Cretton focused on other Marvel projects, including Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which became a higher priority for the studio. Liu confirmed in 2026 that Shang-Chi 2 remains in development, with the story expected to explore Shang-Chi’s connection to the Ten Rings and the wider MCU.

Untitled Nova film

A Nova project featuring Richard Rider began development as a Disney+ series in 2022, with Sabir Pirzada attached as writer, but progress slowed as Marvel reduced its content output. Kevin Feige later confirmed the project would focus on Rider, though it faced further delays and was eventually paused in 2025.

Thompson directing from a script by Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and David Callaham.

Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool/X-Men Crossover

Ryan Reynolds might return as Deadpool, but not in a solo movie this time. Instead, he’s thinking about making a film where Deadpool teams up with a few X-Men characters. Reynolds is writing different versions of a movie that would include three or four X-Men characters.

Deadpool would still appear, but not as the main character. Reynolds thinks that by putting Deadpool in a smaller role, the X-Men can shine in fun and surprising ways.
