Avengers: Doomsday (December 18, 2026)
This is the studio's biggest gamble in years. The Russo Brothers return to direct Robert Downey Jr. as the villain Doctor Doom. The cast is stacked with names like Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, and the entire Fantastic Four. The X-Men from the earlier films also make their appearance. The trailer shows a tormented Doom wearing his mask as a reminder of a personal loss.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day (July 31, 2026)
Tom Holland once again plays Peter Parker, who must carry on without his closest allies after his identity becomes public knowledge. With a North American opening weekend of $355 million and now over $2.4 billion worldwide, this is the highest-grossing film of the year, and the number one film at the box office for six consecutive weekends.
Supergirl
Milly Alcock plays Kara Zor-El in this standalone adaptation, produced by James Gunn and based on the acclaimed comic series Woman of Tomorrow. Kara celebrates her twenty-third birthday with an intergalactic road trip full of action and dark humor, with Jason Momoa in a prominent supporting role.
Clayface (October 23, 2026)
As part of James Gunn's new DC universe, Tom Rhys Harries plays an up-and-coming Hollywood actor whose career comes to an abrupt end after an encounter with a Gotham crime boss. An experimental treatment restores his appearance but erodes his grip on reality. Director James Watkins leans into body horror within a superhero package.
