Marvel Just Added a *Fourth* Movie to Its 2028 Plans
Marvel's been having a pretty quiet time at the box office as of late, as it prepares to head into a new Avengers duology to cap off its latest, up-and-down era in a pretty subdued manner. 2025 may have 3 MCU movies to its name (and a host of TV projects), but after Fantastic Four: First Steps, just four movies will release across 2026 and 2027. But once the dust settles on Secret Wars? Marvel Studios is cranking things back up. Variety reports that Disney has now dated a fourth untitled Marvel theatrical release to its 2028 slate, slotting in at December 15, 2028, and joining untitled projects already set for February, May, and November of that year. As much as 2028 already doesn't feel like a real year at this point, a year with four films that don't have titles or even franchises attached to them yet feels even faker. But at the very least the commitment in the here and now suggests that, after spending a few years acknowledging that Marvel may have faltered by trying to pump out so many series and films in the wake of Infinity War, the studio wants to do exactly that once more once Avengers: Secret Wars rolls out in December 2027 and the seventh 'phase' of the MCU kicks off in earnest. We're still going to be in that quieter phase for the next few years though. Once First Steps releases next month, the next Marvel movie will arrive in the form of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, currently set for a July 2026 slot, followed by Avengers: Doomsday in December that same year. 2027 is currently slated similarly, with a currently untitled project set for July, and the aforementioned Secret Wars in December. That is, of course, not counting any potential streaming TV projects that are currently in the works, like more seasons of X-Men '97, Daredevil: Born Again, and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, as well as series like Wonder Man, Eyes of Wakanda, Marvel Zombies, and Vision Quest. There's still going to be a lot of Marvel, it's just that not much of it will be on the big screen. As to what those 2028 films might end up being, it's perhaps not too out of the realm of possibility to suspect that one of them might be the MCU's long-awaited debut of the X-Men, with Thunderbolts' Jake Schreier currently tapped to bring mutantkind to the big screen once more. We know Black Panther 3 is in the works, so that might not be out of the question, and Variety's report also casually makes note that a sequel to Fantastic Four: First Steps is also now in development, so it's possible we could see Marvel's first family return in 2028 too. Hell, maybe one of them might end up being Blade. Mahershala Ali can dream, right?

Kevin Feige Confirms 'Fantastic Four' Directly Leads into 'Avengers: Doomsday'
Summary The architectural blueprint ofMarvel Studios' Multiverse Saga continues to unfold with strategic precision. During a presentation atDisney's CineEurope convention, Marvel Studios head honchoKevin Feigeofficially confirmed that the events ofThe Fantastic Four: First Stepswill directly lead into December 2026'sAvengers: Doomsday. This revelation cements the highly anticipated debut of Marvel's First Family as an integral cornerstone of the next Avengers-level threat. The Fantastic Four: First Steps, set for release on July 25, 2025, has already generated immense buzz with its unique premise. The film will reportedly take place on an alternate, retro-futuristic 1960s Earth, introducing audiences to Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm. The primary antagonist is confirmed to be the planet-devouring cosmic entity, Galactus (voiced by Ralph Ineson), alongside his herald, the Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). While director Matt Shakman has indicated Doctor Doom won't be in thisFantastic Fourfilm, theThunderbolts*post-credits scene already teased the team's arrival in the mainMCUtimeline, making this direct narrative connection somewhat anticipated by keen-eyed fans. Feige's confirmation at CineEurope reinforces the interconnected nature of Phase 6 and Doomsday, directed by the returningRusso Brothersand starringRobert Downey the iconic villain Doctor Doom, is currently shooting in London. The direct link suggests that the Fantastic Four's journey – likely involving their displacement from their own reality and their encounter with a cosmic threat – will directly set the stage for the massive multiversal conflict that Doctor Doom instigates in the next Avengers film. This strategic narrative tethering serves to elevate the importance ofThe Fantastic Four: First Steps, positioning it not just as a standalone origin-adjacent story, but as a critical precursor to the MCU's next grand saga. Fans now have a clearer understanding that the cosmic stakes and character introductions within the Fantastic Four's debut will resonate profoundly in the lead-up toDoomsday.

Marvel boss Kevin Feige confuses all of us by saying the Fantastic Four ship in the Thunderbolts post-credits might not be "the same ship" as the Excelsior
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has just dropped a big hint about how The Fantastic Four: First Steps will connect to the rest of the MCU as it kicks off Marvel Phase 6, all hinging on the post-credits scene of Thunderbolts*, in which the newly minted New Avengers watch the FF's ship the Excelsior approach Earth on a view screen. "Their ship is the Excelsior, and there is a Fantastic Four ship entering the MCU ... But I'm not sure they're the same ship," Feige tells Empire Magazine (via Culture Crave). The thing is, even as a lifelong comic reader and fan of the Fantastic Four, I have no idea what the heck he means by this. It doesn't help that there's not any more context given with the tease. There are a few possibilities that spring to mind, but the grammar puzzle nature of Feige's words - likely intentional - leaves me with more questions than answers. My best guess is that the ship, while similar to the Excelsior, is a different ship of some kind. It could be a different, souped-up ship that the FF will use to travel between dimensions. Or perhaps even something related to Doctor Doom. Maybe most likely is the idea that the ship will be a vessel by which Reed Richards and his family are able to escape the destruction of their home universe. In the lead up to 2015's Secret Wars, Reed helps build a so-called "ark" that allows him and some of Marvel's heroes to escape reality being rewritten around them. What seems least likely is that there's yet another Fantastic Four besides the team that lives in their own side reality away from the core MCU. It's all but certain that the ones who star in The Fantastic Four: First Steps will be the same FF to travel into the MCU. That said, it's not impossible that this is somehow the Reed Richards and family of the core MCU, or some other strange twist. We probably won't find out exactly what the deal is until The Fantastic Four: First Steps arrives in theaters on July 25. In the meantime, check out our guide to all the upcoming Marvel movies and shows for everything else that's on the way.
