The Avengers: Secret Wars in May 2026. The latter was initially also set for 2025 but had to move due to other Multiverse Saga release date changes. But they are not the only MCU Phase 6 movies planned.
Marvel Studios and Disney are known for planting their flag on release dates years in advance, even if they do not yet officially know which films are going to release at the time. The current slate of Marvel movies includes Untitled Marvel Movies set for July 25, 2025, November 7, 2025, and February 13, 2026. It was previously announced that Avengers: Secret Wars ends MCU Phase 6 and the Multiverse Saga. Since Marvel has not announced what will come out on these dates, here is a prediction for the missing MCU Phase 6 movie release dates that fill the gap between the two Avengers movies.
Armor Wars Movie Should Release In MCU Phase 6
All signs point to redeveloping Armor Wars as a movie. It was later revealed that the change was because the story became too big for what a Disney+ show's budget could realistically pull off. Marvel Studios did not announce when audiences will see Armor Wars in theaters, but a 2025 or 2026 release date is realistic.
Considering Marvel Studios has already spent a few years developing Armor Wars and has a clear idea of what the story will be, changing the project to a movie could be simpler than if the project's release model was reversed. Marvel now needs to trim down whatever story they developed to unfold throughout a six-episode series and figure out how to fit it into a two-hour movie. The studio can take 2023 to get Armor Wars' story, creative team, and cast in place. Production needs to begin on the presumed MCU Phase 6 movie by the summer of 2024 if the July 2025 release date is the target.
Shang-Chi 2 Can Release In MCU Phase 6 (With A Big Change)
There is a chance one of the MCU Phase 6 movie release dates will be Shang-Chi 2 announcement, the movie releasing four or five years later in MCU Phase 6 is reasonable.
If Shang-Chi 2 occupies one of Marvel's Phase 6 movie release dates, it will likely require a significant change. Destin Daniel Cretton has become incredibly busy with Marvel Studios since the announcement of the sequel. He developed Wonder Man for Disney+ and will direct some episodes, but the more significant news came with him directing Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. The movie releasing in May 2025 makes it very difficult for Shang-Chi 2 to be one of the missing MCU Phase 6 movies and for Cretton to stay behind the camera. The movie might need a new director to make any of these release dates work.
World War Hulk Is Set Up For MCU Phase 6
Marvel has all the pieces She-Hulk: Attorney At Law.
There are no official reports that Marvel is developing a World War Hulk movie, but rumors about the film being in the works became more prominent in 2021. The original rumors suggested that filming would begin in 2022, which did not happen. Marvel Studios could still have a plan for World War Hulk in Phase 6, even if it is not exactly like the comic story. The movie could instead focus on more Hulks being created on Earth. It could even have Hulk positioned as the villain after Kang makes the rage-filled hero an enemy of the Avengers and work for him.
MCU’s Spider-Man 4 Could Release In Phase 6
Spider-Man 4 to connect the street-level characters.
There is a chance that Spider-Man 4 releases in MCU Phase 6 but does not take any of these previously announced dates. The July 2025 date fits with the franchise's prior release patterns, and there have been instances where the Spider-Man MCU movies take dates previously claimed by Disney. However, Sony might also decide to release Spider-Man 4 in December 2025 to try and replicate Spider-Man: No Way Home's success. In any case, one MCU Phase 6 movie release date could easily go to Spider-Man 4 as long as Sony has not already released the film by July 2025.
Will MCU’s X-Men Reboot Happen In Phase 6?
Marvel might also have plans to make the MCU's Namor's mutant origins, there is undoubtedly momentum building for the X-Men team's proper introduction. Theories might suggest that this will wait until Phase 7 and a possible Mutant Saga. However, having the X-Men get a movie between Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars would allow them to factor into either film or both and change the outlook of MCU Phase 6's releases.
