# MCU Slate 2026–2027: Doomsday, Brand New Day, Secret Wars — What to Watch For

A Celluloid guide to the MCU calendar through Secret Wars — Spider-Man: Brand New Day (July 31, 2026), Avengers: Doomsday (Dec 18, 2026), Fantastic Four and Thunderbolts scores, and what we know about 2027.

**The Multiverse Saga is no longer a rumor calendar — it is a release map.** Celluloid scores the films that already screened and tracks trailers, casts, and dates for the ones that have not. Here’s the 2026–27 MCU picture as of late July 2026.

## What MCU movies are left in 2026?

**Two tentpoles dominate.** [*Spider-Man: Brand New Day*](/movies/spider-man-brand-new-day-2026/) opens **July 31, 2026** — the year’s clearest Sony/Marvel event after a summer already owned by Nolan’s *Odyssey*. [*Avengers: Doomsday*](/movies/avengers-doomsday-2026/) follows on **December 18, 2026**, with Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom and Russo brothers direction. Neither has a Celluloid Score until critic embargos lift; both have trailers on our [Trailers hub](/trailers/).

## Which recent MCU films already have scores?

**Fantastic Four and Thunderbolts* are the scored handoff.** [*The Fantastic Four: First Steps*](/movies/the-fantastic-four-first-steps-2025/) and [*Thunderbolts*](/movies/thunderbolts-2025/) (plus [*Captain America: Brave New World*](/movies/captain-america-brave-new-world-2025/)) sit in the catalog with four-input composites and Disney+ regional watch notes. Compare them head-to-head at [/compare/thunderbolts-2025/vs/the-fantastic-four-first-steps-2025/](/compare/thunderbolts-2025/vs/the-fantastic-four-first-steps-2025/).

## When is Avengers: Secret Wars?

**December 17, 2027** on Celluloid’s coming-soon slate — the Russo follow-up positioned as the Multiverse Saga’s endgame after *Doomsday*. Expect cast overlap with Fantastic Four and Avengers ensembles; score and full review publish only after screening. Track [*Avengers: Secret Wars*](/movies/avengers-secret-wars-2027/) for date and poster updates.

## Will Doomsday or Spider-Man win 2026 box office?

**Calendar math favors Spider-Man** for 2026 gross: five months of earning versus two mid-December weeks for *Doomsday*. Lifetime totals into 2027 may flip. For a fuller take, see our [Doomsday trailer & presales](/news/avengers-doomsday-trailer-presales/) piece and the [Doomsday vs Brand New Day compare page](/compare/avengers-doomsday-2026/vs/spider-man-brand-new-day-2026/).
