Disney confirms a longer wait for the multiverse showdown.
Marvel fans will have to wait a little longer for the MCU’s next team-up event. Disney has moved Avengers: Secret Wars to 17 December 2027, delaying the film by more than seven months.
Need-to-Know
Film: Avengers: Secret Wars (Marvel Studios)
Original release date: 7 May 2027
New release date: 17 December 2027
Distributor: Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures
Reason given: More time for production
What changed
Disney announced the new date as part of a wider calendar adjustment in May 2025. The change means Secret Wars will now arrive in cinemas just before Christmas 2027, instead of its original spring slot.
Official reasoning
Disney stated the delay was to provide more time for production. No additional creative details were given in the announcement, but the shift aligns with recent schedule moves across multiple Marvel titles.
Why it matters
The film is positioned as the culmination of Marvel’s Multiverse Saga, following the massive success of Avengers: Endgame in 2019. Moving the release into the crowded holiday season reflects Disney’s confidence that Secret Wars will be a global event.
The bottom line: Fans will now have to wait until December 2027 to see Earth’s Mightiest Heroes unite again on the big screen.
