Hollywood, USA: Marvel Studios confirmed that Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars are being postponed from mid-2026 and mid-2027 to holiday releases in December of each year. Industry sources blame demanding VFX workloads and complex scheduling for the ensemble cast, including rumored returns for Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans in alternate roles. The shift leaves a gap in Marvel’s traditional summer blockbuster slot but may allow more polish on special effects and storyline coherence. Fans show mixed reactions—some are disappointed by the longer wait, others welcome extra time for the films to meet high expectations. Box office analysts see this as a strategic move: December releases often mean extended holiday revenue.

What this means for you:

•	If you’re a Marvel fan, mark your calendars for December 2026 and 2027—summer Marvel events will shift.
•	Expect potentially better visual effects, as the VFX industry’s tight capacity was a major factor in the delay.
•	The cinematic universe storyline might expand via Disney+ or other films in the interim—keep up if you want the full backstory.
•	Studios adjusting release dates could spur other blockbusters to re-schedule around holiday windows—watch for competing releases.
