Phases

Phase Six of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is a group of American superhero films and television series to be produced by Marvel Studios based on characters that appear in publications by Marvel Comics. Phase Six features all of the Marvel Studios productions set to be released starting from mid-2025 to mid-2027, with Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures distributing the films, while the series release on Disney+. Live-action series are released under Marvel Studios' "Marvel Television" label. The first film in the phase will be The Fantastic Four: First Steps, scheduled for release in July 2025. The release schedule of Phase Six was changed several times due to the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes. Kevin Feige produces every film and executive produces every television series in this phase, alongside Anthony and Joe Russo for Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, and Amy Pascal for the untitled Spider-Man: No Way Home sequel.

The films of the phase include the ensembles The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Avengers: Doomsday, the untitled Spider-Man: No Way Home sequel from Sony Pictures Releasing with Tom Holland returning as Peter Parker / Spider-Man, and the ensemble Avengers: Secret Wars, as well as Blade, starring Mahershala Ali. Two unannounced films are set for release in 2026. The Disney+ television series of the phase include the animated ensemble series Eyes of Wakanda and Marvel Zombies; Wonder Man starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II; and Vision Quest starring Paul Bettany. Phase Six, along with Phase Four and Phase Five, constitutes "The Multiverse Saga".

Development

By April 2014, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige said that additional storylines for their media franchise and shared universe, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) were planned through 2028.[1] During Marvel Studios' panel at San Diego Comic-Con in July 2019, Feige announced several films and Disney+ television series in development for Phase Four of the MCU,[2] before revealing the film Blade and a Fantastic Four film were also in development.[3][4] After the panel, Feige confirmed that Blade was not part of the Phase Four slate at the time, and that what was announced was the full Phase Four slate at that point, despite Marvel already developing further projects at that time.[5] Fantastic Four was formally confirmed in December 2020;[6][7] the film was believed to be a part of Phase Four at that time.[8]

By June 2021, in addition to What If...?, Marvel Studios was developing a slate of at least three more animated series.[9][10] During the Disney+ Day event in November 2021, Marvel Studios officially announced the What If...?–related Marvel Zombies.[11] By the end of November 2021, Marvel Studios was planning at least three more Spider-Man films starring Tom Holland with Sony Pictures,[12] and the following month, Marvel Studios and Sony were actively beginning to develop the story for the fourth MCU Spider-Man film.[13] Also in December, Destin Daniel Cretton was revealed to be developing a comedy series through his company Family Owned,[14][15] as part of his overall deal with Marvel Studios to develop television projects for the studio for Disney+ in addition to returning to write and direct a sequel to Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021).[14] In April 2022, Feige said he and Marvel Studios were on a creative retreat to plan and discuss the MCU films for the following 10 years,[16] and in June 2022, said information on the next saga of the MCU would be provided in the following months, with Marvel Studios being a "little more direct" on their future plans to provide audiences with "the bigger picture [so they] can see a tiny, tiny bit more of the roadmap" following the clues included during Phase Four.[17] Cretton's series was also revealed to be Wonder Man that month.[18]

At Marvel Studios' San Diego Comic-Con panel in July 2022, Feige announced that Fantastic Four would be the first film of Phase Six. He also announced that the phase would conclude with two ensemble films, Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars, both to be released in 2025, and that Phase Six, along with Phase Four and Phase Five, would be part of "The Multiverse Saga".[19] The films were respectively inspired by "Kang Dynasty", a 2001 comic book storyline written by Kurt Busiek in which Kang the Conqueror travels through time to enslave humanity, and Secret Wars, the name of a 1984–85 comic written by Jim Shooter and a 2015–16 comic written by Jonathan Hickman that both follow various Marvel characters who converge on the planet Battleworld.[20] Feige noted that while not all projects in Phase Six or the previous two phases would directly tie into the larger multiverse storyline, the various storylines that would weave together leading into Secret Wars was "a whole new aspect to the MCU".[21] At the panel, Feige also confirmed the film Blade for Phase Five.[19] Following Marvel Studios' SDCC panel, Disney announced a third season of What If...?.[22] In October, Marvel Studios delayed Blade to September 2024 and pushed back the releases of Fantastic Four and Avengers: Secret Wars as a result.[23] In early February 2023, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced that the company would be re-evaluating the volume of content it outputs as a way to cut costs over the next few years.[24] Shortly after, when reflecting on the amount of Disney+ content released for Phase Four in a short time frame, Feige anticipated that Marvel Studios would look to space out the releases of the Phase Five and Six Disney+ series or put fewer out each year "so they can each get a chance to shine".[21]

Kevin Feige at the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con, where he provided updates for some Phase Six films

The start of the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike in May 2023 was not expected to impact the MCU projects in production, or preparing to begin production, at that time, namely Wonder Man and Fantastic Four, with Marvel Studios reportedly planning to shoot what they could during principal photography and make any necessary writing adjustments during each project's already scheduled reshoots.[25] Production on Wonder Man was shut down by the end of the month, with plans to resume filming when the strike concluded.[26] In June, Disney delayed Fantastic Four to May 2, 2025, Avengers: The Kang Dynasty to May 1, 2026, and Avengers: Secret Wars to May 7, 2027,[27] in part due to the writers' strike and Disney's intentions to improve the quality of MCU content from writing through post-production, after disappointing reception and lower box office earnings for several recently released films following the COVID-19 pandemic.[28] The following month, Iger stated the company would be reducing spending and creation of Marvel content, admitting that Marvel Studios' expansion into Disney+ series and more films had "diluted focus and attention" after a number of underachieving films at the box office in Phases Four and Five.[29][30] In early September 2023, Marvel Studios announced Wonder Man had an undetermined release, in part because of the ongoing Hollywood labor disputes and a desire to slow down their content output and make each of their titles "an event".[31] Following the conclusion of the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike in November 2023, Disney delayed several films to accommodate the resumption of production, including moving Blade to November 7, 2025,[32] with it now set for release during Phase Six.[33] By December 2023, Marvel Studios had begun to internally refer to The Kang Dynasty as Avengers 5, which was amidst Jonathan Majors being fired from his role as Kang the Conqueror, who had been set to be the main antagonist of the Multiverse Saga.[34] Additionally, Marvel Studios Animation announced the series Eyes of Wakanda,[35] which was planned to be released in 2024.[36]

Fantastic Four was retitled The Fantastic Four in February 2024, when its release date was moved to July 25, 2025, swapping with the Phase Five film Thunderbolts*.[37][38] In May 2024, Iger said Disney planned to release two, or at most three, Marvel films and two Marvel series a year moving forward. This was down from up to four films and around four series being released in some recent years, and was part of the company's larger strategy to reduce its content output and focus on quality; at that time, four films were still planned to be released in 2026. He said Marvel content would continue to balance sequels with new franchises.[39] Later that month, Vision Quest, a series centered on the character Vision and a spin-off series to WandaVision (2021), was revealed to be in development for release in 2026;[40][41][42][43] it had previously been in development by Jac Schaeffer.[44][45] In July 2024, Avengers 5 was titled Avengers: Doomsday along with the announcement of Robert Downey Jr. (who previously portrayed Tony Stark / Iron Man in the MCU) playing a new villain, Victor von Doom / Doctor Doom, in that film and Secret Wars.[46] The Fantastic Four was also further retitled The Fantastic Four: First Steps.[33] In October, Disney removed Blade from its release calendar,[47] while Sony scheduled the untitled Spider-Man: No Way Home sequel for release on July 24, 2026,[48] during Phase Six.[49] This filled a date that Disney had previously scheduled for an unspecified Marvel Studios film.[50][48] Later that month, Marvel Studios announced the release dates for their Disney+ projects through the end of 2024 and 2025, including Eyes of Wakanda, Marvel Zombies, and Wonder Man during Phase Six.[51][52]

Disney has scheduled additional release dates for unannounced Marvel Studios films on February 13 and November 6, 2026.[50]
