Doomsday 's release has been pushed from May 1, 2026, to December 18, 2026—almost seven months later than planned. Its sequel, Secret Wars, will now premiere on December 17, 2027, instead of May 7, 2027.

Marvel fans (and haters!) anxious to find out whether 2026’s Avengers: Doomsday will represent a return to form for the studio will now have to wait a little longer to find out how effective “Throw all the actors and directors people used to like at this thing and pray” will be as a billion-dollar blockbuster strategy.

Daniel Day-Lewis and Henry Cavill are among names linked to Marvel's 'X-Men' casting for reboot after 'Secret Wars'.
