Marvel Confirms Exciting New Films by the Russo Brothers

At this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel Studios made a thrilling announcement about the return of the Russo brothers. Following rumors of their involvement in future Marvel projects, the studio confirmed that the duo will be directing two new Avengers films: Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.

Avengers: Doomsday

Fans can expect the first film, Avengers: Doomsday, to hit theaters in May 2026. Notably, this film will feature Robert Downey Jr. reprising his iconic role, but this time as Doctor Doom. This return is set to excite both long-time followers of the MCU and casual viewers alike.

Avengers: Secret Wars

Following Doomsday, audiences can look forward to Avengers: Secret Wars, which is scheduled for release in May 2027. This film is set to continue the legacy of Marvel's interconnected stories, promising fans a deep dive into the complex narratives established in earlier phases.

The Eyes of Wakanda: A New Black Panther Spinoff

In addition to the movies, Marvel is expanding its universe through streaming with the upcoming Black Panther spinoff series titled The Eyes of Wakanda. Announced ahead of the premiere of What If…? Season 2 on Disney Plus, this series aims to spotlight the journey of various warriors rather than focusing on a single Black Panther.

The Eyes of Wakanda will follow multiple characters as they embark on a mission to retrieve powerful vibranium artifacts from different points in Wakanda's rich history. This narrative approach promises to explore the vast set of lore within the Black Panther universe, appealing to fans who crave depth and storytelling.
