What’s Next for Marvel? New Releases and Upcoming Films Till 2026

If you're a Marvelite, you’re probably wondering, what’s next for Marvel in 2025 and 2026? With Phase 5 slowly winding down and Phase 6 beginning to take shape, there’s an exciting mix of nostalgia, fresh characters, and bold storytelling on the horizon. From big-screen spectacles to immersive streaming experiences, the year ahead is packed with upcoming Marvel movies and shows that promise to reshape the MCU as we know it.

Whether you're a long-time fan or just getting into the multiverse madness, we've rounded up the next Marvel movies and series confirmed (so far) for 2025 and 2026, with The Fantastic Four: First Steps leading the charge.

1. The Fantastic Four: First Steps

Marvel’s First Family finally gets a full MCU debut, and it’s easily the most anticipated Marvel movie 2025 has to offer. Directed by Matt Shakman, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is set to reintroduce Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm into the main Marvel timeline. This reboot will not only ground their origin story in the 1960s but also set the tone for major crossovers in the years to come. Expect cosmic adventures, multiversal implications, and possibly a sneak peek into how Doctor Doom might emerge in the post-credits and in future movies. If you’ve been following every twist in the multiverse saga, this film is going to be a must-watch.

Releasing on:July 25, 2025

2. Eyes of Wakanda

Wakanda remains a pivotal cornerstone in the Marvel universe. In Eyes of Wakanda, Marvel dives into the rich legacy of Black Panther through the lens of Wakandan warriors dispatched across the globe, and through history, to recover vibranium artefacts. This animated series is set to stream exclusively on JioHotstar, and it’s a visually stunning, lore-heavy expansion of the Black Panther mythos. Among the new Marvel movies and shows, Eyes of Wakanda is expected to blend action, heritage, and historical fantasy in a way we haven’t seen before.

Releasing on: August 6, 2025

3. Marvel Zombies

If you’re craving something darker and more intense, Marvel Zombies will scratch that itch. Spun off from the What If...? universe, this animated series turns some of your favourite heroes into the undead. As far as upcoming Marvel movies and series go, Marvel Zombies is one of the most unique. With characters like Zombie Wanda and Hawkeye walking (and fighting) again, the show is a bloody detour from typical MCU fare, and fans of horror or alternate timelines will absolutely love it.

Releasing on: October 2025

4. Wonder Man

Set within the MCU backdrop, Wonder Man follows Simon Williams, a struggling businessman who is arrested for fraud. After a series of twists, he is turned into an ion-powered superhuman. With Yahya Abdul-Mateen II set to star, this Disney+ series promises uniqueness, depth, and some unexpected cameos.

While not a typical hero-centric tale, Wonder Man has the potential to become a cult favourite among the next Marvel movies and shows releasing in 2025.

Releasing on: December 2025

5. Spider-Man: Brand New Day

Among the upcoming Marvel movies in 2026, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is one of the most talked-about entries, and for good reason. After the multiversal chaos of No Way Home, this instalment takes Peter Parker back to basics, but with a twist.

The title hints at inspiration from the iconic comic arc, where Peter must deal with the consequences of past decisions while confronting a new villain on the rise. With Tom Holland returning, this chapter promises emotional depth, classic web-slinging action, and the kind of personal stakes that made us fall in love with Spider-Man in the first place. If you're looking for new Marvel movies that blend nostalgia with fresh energy, Brand New Day will be one to watch.

Releasing on: July 31, 2026

6. Avengers: Doomsday

It wouldn’t be a proper Marvel year without something truly universe-shaking, and Avengers: Doomsday fits the bill. Touted as one of the biggest Marvel movie entries for 2026, this film is expected to bring together multiple timelines, characters, and multiversal threats. While details are being tightly guarded, rumours suggest that RDJ’s Doom might be set in the Earth of the Fantastic Four. As there’s a lack of data, determining much at this point is difficult, but it can be assumed that there will be a large-scale narrative pivot for the entire MCU. For fans looking forward to new Marvel movies with huge stakes, emotional pay-offs, and jaw-dropping visuals, Avengers: Doomsday is a cinematic event not to be missed.
